Why the Scroll Stopped

A GIF keeps it short and sweet, so the viewer doesn’t need to over-invest their time in the ad. The slight movement stands out among static images, and the sleek boots contrasting with the classic NYC staircase gets us intrigued.

Why it worked

What you see is what you get. The boots are shown in a natural setting that gives the appearance of being worn in daily life. The simplicity also allows potential customers to put themselves in the shoes and imagine where you may walk in them. The text layover clearly shows the value to potential customers.

Why we love it

Not every video needs to be complicated. This video effectively communicated the value proposition to potential customers. The slight video movement grabs your attention while you scroll social media.

Why the Scroll Stopped

We want to see what’s in the box! Emanating the energy of your latest online shopping spree, the excitement from the delivery establishes a curiosity with the viewer. The fast-paced filming that quickly shifts to slo-mo keeps us entranced and intrigued by the leather goods.

Why it worked

Once we see what’s in the box, eye-catching footage of Tannery’s cut leather pieces entertains us and the sounds of the cuts satisfy us as we wonder what she’s making. Because it’s shot creatively with quick cuts and clever use of slow motion to keep our attention, it’s not even until the end of the video that we realize they’re trying to sell us something.

Why we love it

The creator was delivered just a cardboard box of cut leather pieces. With creative shooting and post-production techniques, this ad gives Tannery an elevated feel. The passing of each piece across the camera, the use of slow and fast motion and the transitions kept the action moving. It’s a great ad, and even with a small budget, it’s an amazing one.
