Brief Explanation

In 2013, Fransabank, a local Lebanese bank, introduced the Simba app, a unique mobile payment method that is easy safe and smart. In order to communicate such an innovative product to a resistant audience, a TV commercial was produced under the concept of “personifying apps they use everyday”. The TV was filmed in one shot with 15 cast members and 10 choreographers pushing 31 platforms on 12 specially designed rails to create 8 different scenes that brought the apps to life.
