The Work

Turn a static 2D OOH poster into a 3D animation. Scan the QR code, aim your phone at the artwork, and the latest AEW promotion plays out off the surface of the poster.

The Approach

Created 3D motion graphics animations triggered by AR marker recognition. Each poster had a custom animation sequence — wrestlers breaking through the surface, pyrotechnics, ring entrances — all rendered to feel like the poster was physically transforming in real time through the viewer’s phone screen.
