JD Sports: The Christmas Claw

JD Sports, Ocean Outdoor and Blind Pig created a nostalgic arcade-style Digital OOH experience in London’s Piccadilly Circus. The activation was part of with JD’s King of the Game Christmas campaign, which also used AR to turn its Oxford Street shopfront into a game. Designed to resemble  the much-loved ‘claw’ games in amusement arcades, a 3D animated arm extends the full length of the screen, before reaching down and picking up two alternate JD shoes, which seemingly swing out into Piccadilly.

Designed and executed in Cinema 4D by Blind Pig’s 3D animation team, with Ocean Outdoor’s DeepScreen technology.
