Think of crafting a digital ad campaign like assembling the perfect mattress: every layer needs to be just right. We’ve had the pleasure of working with MM Foam on several occasions, and collaborating with them again was truly a delight. MM Foam, with over six decades of experience since 1957, has revolutionized the sleep industry with their exceptional latex mattresses. Our mission this time was to create a digital ad campaign featuring the esteemed actress and brand ambassador, Abirami. Partnering with the creative geniuses at Paper & Prism, we embarked on a journey to bring MM Foam’s essence to life on screen. Let’s take a deep dive into the creative journey behind the scenes!.
Concept Development & Scriptwriting
Every memorable ad starts with a spark of an idea, much like a great mattress begins with a vision of comfort. During our brainstorming sessions with advertising agency Paper & Prism, we envisioned an ad that would highlight the superior qualities of MM Foam’s products. The script was carefully crafted, with dialogues tailored to showcase the comfort, durability, and health benefits of MM Foam mattresses. Each line was designed to resonate with the audience, just as a perfect mattress cradles and supports.
Casting
Selecting the right ambassador for an ad is like choosing the finest material for a mattress. Abhirami was a perfect match for MM Foam, embodying the elegance and reliability that the brand stands for. Her presence seamlessly aligned with the brand’s image, making her the ideal face for the campaign. Her warmth and authenticity added an extra layer of charm to the project.
Mood board and Planning
Visualising an ad requires the same detailed planning as crafting a mattress. We worked closely with Paper & Prism to create intricate mood boards, planning each scene to ensure a smooth narrative flow. These mood boards provided a comprehensive overview of the film’s flow and atmosphere, ensuring that the entire crew and each department were in sync, working seamlessly shot by shot.
Location, Set Design, and Costume
Just like how a calming environment helps you sleep better, picking the right place can make a commercial shine! We selected locations that exuded the comfort and luxury of MM Foam mattresses. Our set design was carefully crafted to complement the brand’s image, using props that highlighted the natural and cozy feel of MM Foam products. Costumes played a pivotal role in reflecting the brand’s ethos. Paper & Prism provided the concept, ensuring that every detail, from colours to textures, resonated with the brand’s aesthetic. The costumes were simple yet elegant, much like the understated luxury of MM Foam mattresses.
Lighting and Cinematography
Lighting in a commercial is like the support system in a mattress—it’s crucial for highlighting the key features. We used soft, warm lighting to enhance the visual appeal, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Our cinematography aimed to capture the essence of MM Foam, focusing on close-up shots that showcased the intricate details and superior quality of the products.
Directing and Acting
Directing an ad is like aligning the layers of a mattress—it requires precision and care. Our director Praveen Kumar D worked closely with Abirami, guiding her performance to bring the script to life. Her natural grace and expressive acting made the features of MM Foam’s products feel tangible and relatable.
Editing and Colour Grading
The editing process is like the final stitching of a mattress—it brings everything together. We edited the footage, incorporating special effects to enhance the final product. Colour grading was crucial in ensuring the visuals were cohesive and appealing, much like the uniformity in a well-crafted mattress.
Sound Design and Music
The sound design and music are the icing on the cake—much like that comfy quilted layer on top of a mattress! We picked sounds that matched our visuals perfectly, adding depth and feeling to the ad. The music? It was designed to set just the right mood; this created a lovely mix of sounds & sights.
As we wrap up this project, we’re buzzing with excitement. The commercial is ready to hit the screens very soon, and we can’t wait for its release. Working with MM Foam and Paper & Prism has been a fantastic experience, blending creativity with comfort. We’re looking forward to more collaborations in the future, continuing to bring MM Foam’s story to life. This project was just the beginning of what we hope will be many more exciting ventures together.
