Cultural / Context information for the jury

When you’re driving and suddenly need to hit the brakes, every millisecond counts. Having a short reaction time can be the difference between an accident or just a near-miss. Fortunately, the Kia Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is there to step in and stop the car safely, in case you fail to react on time. To illustrate how this feature works, we use a visual analogy that everyone can relate to: dogs with bad reaction time.

Tell the jury about the photography. Do not name the photographer.

Our biggest challenge was to capture timely, genuine, lighthearted and captivating portraits of the dogs. Because the whole idea of the campaign revolves around the importance of timing, it was absolutely key to get the timing of each shot right, to make sure the idea comes across. We also wanted each image to have its own personality, as does every dog we portrayed. For that, we created a different look for each visual, in a way that enhances the natural mood of the photographs.
