MEDIAS was tasked with creating a video around the theme 'Because We Can' for a global brand, 42Below. The video had to encapsulate a viral element and would be used in conjunction with videos being produced in Australia and New Zealand simply 'Because We Can'.

MEDIAS produced a stopframe animation using multiple photo images to create the illusion of a smooth video effect. It was shot over an 8 day period on Cape Town’s Clifton 4th beach. The surfer and the wave were repeatedly photographed at 15 frames per second, moved by small amounts between individually photographed frames. The 2800 + still photographs were then edited together, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames are played as a continuous sequence.

The Video: Sand Surfer

The Results

The video was featured in Surfer Magazine, the biggest surfing magazine in the world, RVCA, a design-driven lifestyle brand and The Inspiration Room™, a global effort designed to influence, affect and involve creative communities in the development of a world standard for inspiration. The video generated a combined total of over 100 000 views over a short 6 week period from the Because We Can portal and embedded videos on various blogs and online magazine publications.
