Created by BETC/Paris and directed by Thierry Poiraud, through Division, the slickly edited spot promotes Cisco’s security tech.
Titled Secure Freeze, the film features an imaginatively realised cyber breach that causes office business to come to a grinding halt – paperwork floats mid-air, a spilt smoothie is caught mid-fall.
With post production by FIRM, the ad is a masterful example of mixed motion as an unfrozen woman leaps and dances around frozen in time and creating mischief, till she clicks on the Cisco security system that allows normal service to be resumed.
