“Mountain Dew has always been a brand that celebrates individuals who identify their passions and pursue them unconditionally,” said Greg Lyons, Vice President of Marketing, Mountain Dew. “For our new ‘Portraits’ ads, we collaborated with Dale Jr., Danny and Paul to create epic visual representations of all the things that they are most passionate about, done in a totally groundbreaking way that only DEW could do.”
Mountain Dew enlisted the animation experts at Psyop to push the spots into the social media and digital age. Weaving in each star’s personality, Psyop designed multiple looping content and complex visual effects to create a distinctly cohesive and dynamic scene while isolating each individual component to move at varying speeds.
