3D Cinematography
The essence of this campaign is built around precise and carefully planned lighting techniques to celebrate the form, design and presence of Cowboy bikes.
3D cinematography was crafted to celebrate the purity of a mechanical and electronically advanced product.
Three colours
Each bike and environment is offered in three colours, sand, khaki green and of course, black.
Complimentary environment colours with subtle shifts in contrast are used to accent each product visual.
Product Features
Carefully keyframed animations where developed to showcase specific product features across the new Cowboy range.
Adaptive headlights, docking mobile devices, pedal assist and other technologies.
Detail Obsessions
Each and every image was carefully composed, with unique and bespoke lighting to show the engineering, materials and quality of construction.
Research & Development
A volume of exploratory images and art directions explored in a design development stage of visual language.
