To support the launch of Trident Soft and Trident Splash in the UK, AKQA/London and Bikini Films/London created Trident Factory, a 4:50 film that tells the story of the brand in an amusing way, a light hearted mockumentary that studies the mastication process and the roots of pleasure. The film uses animation to show the “mastication lobe” and laboratory scenes to show how the two gums are made. The film was shot with a Panasonic VariCam at 24p HD for a filmic look.
