Kirk Balden of design, animation and VFX studio Smoke & Mirrors New York leads his adept team in creating the captivating VFX on a recent :60 for HYATT, via BBDO, NY.
In There's a Place, we venture through global avenues of the entire HYATT experience, not only capturing the relaxing essence of a stay at the premier hotel, but the magical luxury as well. With a balcony view of NYC's shining lights, beaches off the coast of an exotic island, and a secluded location in Asia...the effort truly encapsulates the HYATT hotel experience.
