VIVO X FOLD 3

Following the successful collaboration with Meidehao for the previous vivo X100 launch event, SBF was once again designated to handle the stage visual effects and live directing for the launch of the new product - vivo X Fold3. The vivo X Fold3 foldable smartphone series launch event took place on the evening of March 26th at the Shanghai World Expo Center. Alongside the vivo X Fold3, there were also the vivo X Fold3 Pro, Pad, and TWS 4. The main focus of this foldable phone release is on being the industry's lightest and thinnest foldable phone, with exceptional battery life and overall reliability, coupled with strong performance.





From pre-production to the final cut, we spent a total of three months, paying meticulous attention to every detail. To ensure that the concept of "so light yet so strong" could be effectively conveyed in the videos, we embarked on a creative exploration journey. By utilizing 3D modeling, camera movements, compositing, and rendering techniques, we ultimately completed two main videos - the countdown opening video and the product showcase video, along with numerous other smaller clips, totaling 10 videos.




Countdown

Various dynamic environments continuously shift and change, offering an immersive experience that emphasizes the product's smoothness and tranquillity through visual and auditory elements.


Opening

Drawing inspiration from nature's symbols of lightness and resilience, intricate details on both macro and micro levels harmonize, juxtaposing the notions of lightness and strength, reflecting the essence of the product being "powerful yet lightweight." Smooth folding visual effects enhance transitions, reinforcing the product's iconic symbols.




Product Reveal

Utilizing the thinness of silk as a metaphor for the phone's appearance of being large, light, and thin, traversing between the urban landscapes of Shanghai.​​​​​​​




During the production of the videos, SBF faced significant challenges. From seamless scene transitions to ensuring realism on a stage spanning 68 meters, coupled with numerous compositing scenes, every obstacle was overcome through perseverance and teamwork. Additionally, we had the support of a multinational team spanning Beijing, Malaysia, and Germany (StyleFrame Studio). Despite language barriers and time zone differences, we overcame everything and successfully completed this task together.
