Brief Explanation

Every year Lebanon celebrates its Independence Day through a national parade that is televised to millions - yet, in 2014 things changed. §In the absence of a president and political turmoil, the parade was cancelled. Touch, Lebanon’s leading mobile operator, promises a new world. So, we took it upon ourselves to salute the armed forces in our own way. We created the first virtual parade. Based on the official Lebanese Army Parade anthem, a score was composed from scratch to bring to life the exact feel and “world” of an actual parade.

Creative Execution

Based on the official Lebanese Army Parade anthem, an original score was composed to bring to life the exact feel and “world” of an actual parade that accompanied the animation.
