Your customer journey

The solution to boredom: watch a VFX breakdown. The breakdown of Amazon’s Utopia by FuseFX runs the risk of over-entertaining you, and entertainment is instant and omnipresent on the internet anyway.

At first, you resist, close yourself off to the entertainment value, refuse to give it a share of your attention; but at some point, the VFX Breakdown caresses its way through your retinas.

Listen, says the breakdown. Come on, let’s laugh. Let me distract you. You allow it.

The two videos have a total running time of around half an hour, and the reels (which are referenced in the videos) can be used extensively.
