In a partnership with agency Gabriel deGroud Bendt, Gasket Studios recently created two commercials and a logo for the Science Museum of Minnesota. While both spots were very different, we were able to bring just the right amount of energy and flair to each project.
The Science Museum wanted a compelling "wow" advertisement for their OmniTheater festival "OmniFest". Highlighting the enormity of the screen and its all-encompassing scope, Gasket created a memorable, eye-catching spot that really gets you pumped for the next screening.
Gasket was charged with shooting the live action talent as well as creating the simulated OmniTheater screen. We also created the end mnemonic, as well as a generic OmniTheater version, which will appear independently in like-theaters across the country.
The Science Museum of Minnesota had amazing opportunity to exhibit the famous Dead Sea Scrolls. GdB again teamed with Gasket Studios and director Buck Holzmer to create their commercial
From the Science Museum's website:
These 2,000 year-old, authentic text fragments are steeped in scientific, religious, and cultural significance. The Science Museum's one-of-a-kind exhibition, through October 24, 2010, invites visitors to learn about the science behind the Dead Sea Scrolls, and to reflect upon their significance.
The challenge was to seamlessly move from live action re-enactment of the scrolls being written on goat skin (and yes, it's real goat skin parchment), to seeing the scrolls age into their current state. The archivists from Israel who are in charge of the scrolls wanted an authentic looking process.
