Samsung and R/GA release kaleidoscopic spot filmed in Paris.
Samsung has created an ad made of one billion colours to promote its QLED TV which can display more than a billion colours on the screen.
From creative agency R/GA, the spot was filmed in Paris, sometimes known as The City of Light.
Throughout the 105-second film, the camera glides through a church, pans over marketplaces, sweeps past balconies and darts through a couture dress shop, with each shot showcasing myriad hues.
According to AdWeek, R/GA group ECD Eric Jannon, who lived in Paris for 17 years, chose the city because of its architecture, the water and a lot of lights in the middle of the city.
The agency also built an algorithm the counted the colours in the film and mapped them against a 3D cube containing all 1 billion colors the television is capable of displaying with every scene was assigned a specific palette of colors.
A making of film was also released by Samsung to celebrate the campaign.
