Brief Explanation
In tourism commercials, we are always seeing other people doing things and having fun. What if we could give viewers a better taste of what itβs like to experience Abu Dhabi? To truly immerse them in the experience?
To do this, we have used a technique that allows us to showcase Abu Dhabi,
whilst creating maximum intrigue for viewers: a first person point of view.
Allowing anyone who watches the commercial to feel like they are actually there;
engaging with them and connecting with them on a higher level;
and creating a greater appetite to visit the city once they see how amazing it is to actually be there.
The idea is modular β meaning we can tailor it towards any selection of experiences or activities.
The story is a thrill each minute, a whirlwind tour of the many things to see and do in Abu Dhabi β as seen through the eyes of various different travellers and visitors. You could be for 48 hours in Abu Dhabi. You could be for a few days. Or even a week. The commercial follows a logical exploration of Abu Dhabi β from the first person perspectives of different types of people.
