NIKE YOUR YEAR

The 100,000 most active Nike+ members received a personalized animation for the new year 2015.
Each of the 100.000 films are created using location, weather, activity and individual Nike+ movement data.
Meaning a runner from Toronto would receive a completely different film to an NTC user in New York.

In addition to the personalized films for members, we created additional films honoring the achievements of four key cities and North America as a whole.

1,500 hand crafted unique animation clips populated a custom cloud render system, which then rendered over 125,000,000 frames of animation (59 days worth) to construct the final 100,000 animations.
