Psyop: Adidas “CVA”

The final spot in Psyop’s four spot run for the Adidas “Impossible is Nothing” campaign centers on the Chinese Volleyball Association. It rounds out the series nicely, sustaining the level of detail and craftsmanship demanded by the campaign, which was produced via Stink for TBWA\China.

While this spot doesn’t have any surprises up its sleeve, I think it’s a fitting end to an incredibly ambitious run. Psyop managed to consistently bring their designs to life without cutting corners. The result is a series of breathtaking projects that’s as epic as it is intimate.

EDIT: By the way, for those of you attending next week’s Promax/BDA conference here in NYC, be sure to check out Brett Ashy’s session with Psyop on Wednesday, June 19th at 9:00am. I’ll be doing State of Design on Thursday at 2pm, so maybe I’ll see you there.

Man, these spots really need to be seen in Hi-res!

I don’t like this one really. The first 2 are really good. This one looks like live-action and crosshatch filter over it. And the composition of the eyes into the clouds looks kinda awkward.

Just my 2c

Overall great campaign
