Refuge

Refuge

Optical Arts collaborated with BBH on a campaign for Refuge, a charity supporting domestic abuse victims. Our team created a film that mirrors high-end smartphone commercials, but with a disturbing twist, highlighting how abusers increasingly exploit technological advances.

Drawing on our expertise in live-action tech advertising and still-life film/photography, we developed the storyboard and shots in pre-visualization. The project was recognized with two Creative Circle Awards (Silver) and a British Arrows nomination.

Research & Development

Leveraging our experience in live-action tech advertising and still-life film/photography, we took the agency's concept and script, developing the storyboard and assembling shots during pre-visualization. The film mimics high-end smartphone commercials, but with a disturbing twist, gradually revealing the dark potential of technology in the hands of an abuser.
