Psyop drops an instant classic for LG


Psyop’s latest for LG brings a living room to life with a whimsy few others can rival.

It has become too easy to blindly praise the powerhouse that is Psyop. Their talent and resources consistently put them out in front of the competition and they have continued to set the bar for the better part of five years.

Let’s stop for a moment and dissect what it is that really makes them great. For me, it’s that extra percent from concept to delivery. It’s that hyper-attention to movement and timing, details in design and an overall way of noticing moments of beauty in the mundane that push this spot – like many others – into the realm of greatness. Immerse and enjoy.

Simply a Masterpiece

Nobody is going to argue with how amazing the craftsmanship here is. its mind boggling to watch.

But the general narrative had me a little lost. Is the enemy dust? How will the Kompressor save us? Is the Kompressor some sort of central air system with great filters? Or is it a vaccum?
The first time I watched it I spent most of the time trying to figure out what the sharks were actually made of. Was one wood and the rest dust?
The second time I watched it I didn’t really care anymore, I just enjoyed the overall beauty of the project.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Clearly awesome visuals but a sloppy narrative.

That was so sweet. I disagree with Matt though, while the details are superior, I see fine technical execution all the time that doesn’t engender a 1/10 of the pleasure of this. Being able to create a life and death tableau out of toys for a vacuum cleaner ad takes amazing vision on the macro level first and foremost.

Can’t argue with the quality of the piece.. But I can’t get Toy Story(s) out of my mind when watching it. Awesome work though!
