Agence H Paris and The Embassy get some Live Aid-style inspiration

 

The latest work from Agence H Paris for Citroën is this 80s Live Aid-inspired robots chorus created by Vancouver-based The Embassy.
 
Over the years Citroën has utilized the robot in many of its campaigns, and this new spot, "Robots Chorus", is a celebration of the Citroën automobile through song and robot.
 

 
For the spot, The Embassy handled all production and post-production from start to finish. Like the iconic "We Are the World", this spot is deliberately shot with minimal production design in order to make the concept feel more believable. 
 
"The tendency with VFX driven work is to make it as glossy and polished as possible, which often makes it look more fake." Said Winston Helgason, President, The Embassy. "This is often reflected in the colour grade as well. Overall, we deliberately embraced the imperfections, which in the end added an extra layer of authenticity."
