PRODUCTS USED
OVERVIEW
DuPont launched a new branding campaign tagged “Invent a better n:ow” to position the 217-year-old company as an innovative source of products that transform industries and people’s lives.
The campaign featured a first-of-its-kind live commercial that integrated video from a Telescope-powered live stream to showcase DuPont’s materials and push the concept of “now” to focus on real-time events as viewers watched the commercial.
HOW IT WORKED
DuPont’s live commercial could be viewed on their official website. It included a segment featuring the real-time 3D printing of a prosthetic hand. Telescope worked together with R/GA and Imposium on this unique experience. We handled full production of the live stream, which was incorporated into the live commercial viewing experience.
Full production: Telescope provided all production aspects (location scouting, 3D printer research, etc.), staff, and equipment to film the live segment. Telescope ran a number of tests to make sure that the 3D printer, lighting, set design, camera angles and lenses were just right for the 27-hour long live stream. The idea was to make it feel cinematic with an ‘it’s happening now’ element.
Live Streaming: Telescope powered the live stream using our award-winning streaming software, Live Studio . The stream included custom on-screen graphics showing the location of the set and how long the printing process had been in action. To fully execute the project, Telescope hardwired a separate internet connection that guaranteed the speed and bandwidth required to integrate into DuPont’s live commercial.
