Brief Explanation

Some nights are a little different. They're the special ones where everybody wants to shine that bit more and make a statement. Smirnoff Double Black exists for those nights; a superior vodka that lets you stand out from the moment you arrive. Set to the soundtrack of 'Video Games' by Lana Del Ray and shot in North America and Argentina, the most impactful entrance features four glamorous party-goers taking to the skies to make a pyrotechnic night jump with magnesium flares.

Creative Execution

Shot in Ohio USA and B.A, in Argentina we stitched the two locations together into one seamless sequence. We worked on the sky diving sequences adding in ground detail as well as enhancing the magnesium flares that were captured in camera. We created the mega dance party as well as the dystopian locations the party takes place in.
