The ad begins in a classroom environment, wherein a student is tasked with solving a problem in the space of a minute.
Cutting to a real-life situation in which the same student is now assessing a problem on a wind farm, Barclays depict how the problem-solving skills acquired apply beyond the classroom.
2D Artist Ed Poulson explains ‘The Mill provided sky replacements, animated the movement of the wind turbines, built the camera movement through the car and added rain to the scene.’ The result is a sense of heightened urgency that further depicts the necessity of thinking quickly when under pressure.
