Mail in the Digital Age

Emotion Recognition and its Aesthetic Interpretation

It is well known that facial expressions are the most powerful tools for communicating human emotions. Describing and measuring emotions has always been quite a challenge in many aspects of evolution of arts and technology development.

Royal Mail launched the first-ever integrated 3D campaign to demonstrate to advertisers and agencies the power of running combined direct mail and digital campaigns. Devised by Proximity London, ‘Mail in the Digital Age’ explains this effective combination in a mail shot to 3,000 advertisers containing anaglyph glasses and an invitation to watch the 3D film online.

The 60-second 3D film features two synchronised rhythmic gymnasts. Produced by Film38 and director Mike Brady with technical expertise, kit and post production by Inition, the film highlights the enhanced impact of the two channels working together. It was shot entirely in slow-motion using Inition's Silicon Imaging System, a ground-breaking fully-integrated 3D camera system on a mirror-based rig. On-line post was completed on Inition's SpeedGrade 3D finishing suite. Watch the film here: http://www.add-a-dimension.co.uk.
