Working in conjunction with agency Tribal DDB Amsterdam, Stink Digital created both the rich, visually-led micro-site and the short film "Carousel" that anchor a multi-platform campaign for Philips' CINEMA 21:9 television.

In the short film directed by Adam Berg, the camera moves through an epic "frozen moment": a cops-and-robbers shootout is taking place in a hospital that contains clowns, explosions and plenty of broken glass and bullet casings.

"Carousel" is the centerpiece of the interactive experience. Since the 2:19 film loops, visitors to the micro-site have the option to "spin" through the film’s single take shot repeatedly, to stop on a specific frame, or to watch it at the preordained speed. The film also contains embedded hotspots, which, when triggered, transport the viewer seamlessly from the heavily posted film to a behind-the-scenes version of the same shot.
