Then experimenting with projecting 2D art/matt paintings onto geometry (developed by Crush Sean Cochrane) and finding it had a unique quality to make this campaign stand apart. So the spot is not entirely photo or CG or 2D illustration, but a combination of all three,” adds Zibert.<br /><br />a few screen grabs of the spot so you can see some of the beautiful imagery:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybfYxa6EDoyrV4-EHnrVZA9-xspH9npFmmwsrE0yHRwQ3JTmH7k7d_rQGOgJ8PzP7A2GlgjcQUCb0jHn-FQ8U6HvNhs8Ld5JelNkzFEiGk6PUrwe8vXNy_S7_ii5vVgfc05mc09w1_ik/s1600/Sapporo8.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620026863344400914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybfYxa6EDoyrV4-EHnrVZA9-xspH9npFmmwsrE0yHRwQ3JTmH7k7d_rQGOgJ8PzP7A2GlgjcQUCb0jHn-FQ8U6HvNhs8Ld5JelNkzFEiGk6PUrwe8vXNy_S7_ii5vVgfc05mc09w1_ik/s400/Sapporo8.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

Sleeman had not worked with a full-service agency since 2007, when Doug (now Doug & Serge) held agency of record status.<br /><br />The campaign took one and a half years of planning, and six months to shoot. The agency developed five distinct campaign ideas before narrowing it down to three, which were presented to the client, said Hunt.<br /><br />“Each one of them had a wonderful response [but] ‘Legendary’ was their favourite,” he said.<br /><br />Parts of the ad were shot in China in front of a green screen, and then brought back to Toronto where each shot was placed in position on a “map painting” and given a “3D type effect so that it created depth,” said Hunt.<br /><br />Dentsu also assisted Concrete in the design of a new 500 ml can that features Japanese script meaning “premium” and the historic Sapporo “north” star embossed on the front.<br /><br />“We know our consumers not only demand a high quality product, but also a brand that conveys attributes that appeal to their individuality,” said Kenny Sadai, president and CEO of Sleeman Breweries, in a release. “We felt tapping into the brand’s Japanese heritage and bringing to life the essence of ‘Biru’ would further illustrate those qualities.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZihCLSxUEx4GQdRMngxSexSLlvGl_jsN17817KZQkB_iWqf1kHyzuqK1HiKezckWGQOeWGaaEFVYh0FTYM7tW9v3OIBiTVDMQ5werbCaDqstVzd7geUCJG1dq3t4Ih44irDznOVAs_Wo/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-13+at+5.17.04+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618999309602528146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZihCLSxUEx4GQdRMngxSexSLlvGl_jsN17817KZQkB_iWqf1kHyzuqK1HiKezckWGQOeWGaaEFVYh0FTYM7tW9v3OIBiTVDMQ5werbCaDqstVzd7geUCJG1dq3t4Ih44irDznOVAs_Wo/s400/Screen+shot+2011-06-13+at+5.17.04+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 287px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">THE INTERACTIVE WEBSITE</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBxbqr0pH0OEtRBIlApfpSTBEfa3rROOGJCKfzjW0GCajm4cs5sHYcRdcQVxTyxYSPMw39haw4_Z8CmSnYPLc7sgGuSbSLWmIKxa_CDH6U-H-PxAX3PQXm0AujMPbml81HohWyiyOIgKg/s1600/game+screen1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620046290112284738" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBxbqr0pH0OEtRBIlApfpSTBEfa3rROOGJCKfzjW0GCajm4cs5sHYcRdcQVxTyxYSPMw39haw4_Z8CmSnYPLc7sgGuSbSLWmIKxa_CDH6U-H-PxAX3PQXm0AujMPbml81HohWyiyOIgKg/s400/game+screen1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 539px; height: 374px;" /></a><br /><br />Sapporo launched a microsite with a contest that asked consumers to locate the hidden scrolls placed throughout the video for a chance at a trip to Japan.

Some are easy to find and tell a brief story about the beer, while others are well hidden and require diligence to unlock. Those who reach the end of the journey are given a message tailored to the number of scrolls they’ve discovered, while those who manage to collect all 15 scrolls are entered to win a trip to Japan.<br /><br /><object height="298" width="530"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14032940&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14032940&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="298" width="530"></embed></object><br /><br />Check it out at <a href="http://legendarybiru.com/">legendarybiru.com.</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wearelollipop.com/2010/08/sapporo-beer/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lollipop</span></a> designed and built the site, in addition to shooting the sage video.
