Using the ubiquitous Amazon box as a portal, people delve into the immersive world of Amazon Music in this spot directed by Steve Gee and Essy May of production house/animation studio Blinkink. The piece blends mixed media and musical genres from across the globe. From clay animation to puppetry, and JPOP to Amazon Original Christmas tracks, the film titled “Unbox a World of Music” takes us on a voyage around the world, bringing to life the rich and varied role music plays in our lives.
The spot was conceived by Droga5 London in collaboration with Droga5 Tokyo. Dave Wigglesworth, creative director, Droga5 London, said, “It’s a mad film but not without reason. The mixed animation style was designed to bring to life the plurality of choices you get when diving into the world of Amazon Music. The visual genres flip and switch to complement the songs. Partnering with Stevie Gee and Essy May at Blinkink was a no-brainer. You can see the level of craft and love that went into every single frame.”
