SCOPE OF WORK

What was built

SCOPE OF WORK

What was built

Storytelling & Script

Technical Threat Breakdown

Visualized complex automotive vulnerabilities - relay attacks, signal cloning, and key fob theft - into an engaging, problem-solving narrative.

UI & Hardware Motion

Interactive PIN Simulation

Modeled and animated the physical CodeGuard keypad, engineering glowing button feedback and digital activation states inside car cabin environments.

Creative Supervision

Art Direction & Quality Control

Stepped in to supervise secondary animation teams, tightening scene pacing, typography consistency, and editorial timing for executive sign-off.

Multi-Format Distribution

Bilingual & Social Ad Cuts

Produced bilingual retail digital signage, dedicated French/English versions, and 30-second high-conversion Facebook ad cutdowns.

APPROACH

How the work was done

APPROACH

How the work was done

01

Threat Research & News Curation

Gathered authentic Canadian news reports on vehicle theft surges, building a dramatic 3D spinning headline sequence to hook viewers in the first 5 seconds.

02

Audio Pacing & Voiceover Directing

Auditioned voice talent, cut sound effects to build tension (stopwatch ticking during break-in attempts), and fine-tuned vocal emphasis for maximum clarity.

03

Hardware UI Simulation

Designed custom illumination effects on keypad inputs and integrated vehicle dashboard mockups to illustrate how the PIN immobilizer overrides theft attempts.

04

Iterative Polish & Ad Adaptation

Refined subtitle typography and pacing based on client reviews, later repurposing the master asset into optimized 30-second Facebook video ads.

Automotive hardware explainers often get bogged down in dry technical schematics.

Our strategy was to lead with the acute pain point: showing how easily modern keyless cars are stolen in under 60 seconds via relay attacks.

By juxtaposing the thief's growing frustration against the driver's peace of mind, the video clearly demonstrates why a PIN-code immobilizer succeeds where traditional smart keys fail.
