To promote The Lost Ring, an Olympics-themed alternate reality game sponsored by McDonald’s, AKQA created a series of trailers for www.thelostring.com that were produced by PostPanic. Trailer 1 spans history, from ancient Greece when the Olympics were banned to 2008, when a tattoed woman wakes up in a corn field and tells viewers she needs help, which launches the game. The trailer, which includes computer- generated imagery, was shot with an Arrilite 35mm camera.
