Anyone can be a superhero! SHAZAM!

Warner Bros. Pictures trusted us to create interactive ads for: Shazam!, The Mule, Smallfoot, and Creed II.

The goal for this project was to use Zachary Levi’s green screen performance and create an advert that would be used as a countdown, as well as a way for the fans to purchase tickets.

Some of the main challenges we faced:

  • What kind of backdrop would be a proper one for this superhero?
  • Which discipline do we utilize to create text that is easily editable?
  • Find a cool way for Shazam to interact with the text.

From the beginning, we knew that we had two parts for this request that needed to be addressed: One was an end card, and the other was a bug that would run simultaneously with the trailer.

I decided that the best approach would be to create the end card first, taking inspiration from the Shazam main key art. We knew Shazam was a kid-friendly movie so it had to be fun.

We also had to use lightning and electricity since that is Shazam’s (or should I say Captain Marvel) main super power 😁.

Once I had the end card going, I edited the same animation and effect to create the bug that was ultimately used.

Both the end card and bug have a CTA that redirects the viewer to Fandango where they could check times and even purchase a ticket.

The click-through was added using a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, on top of Tremor's proprietary technology.
