Hyundai Motor Company Australia is running an integrated advertising campaign for the Hyundai i45 using falling water effects to highlight the brand’s fluidic sculpture concept. Hyundai’s passion for quality, caught up in the tag line, “Driven by Obsession”, is embodied in cascading water demonstrating the the tests, commitment and investment that Hyundai has dedicated itself to, in bringing every i45 to market. The campaign includes television and cinema, print ads, an extensive online schedule, point of sale, out of home and displays at airports.

The commercial was filmed using a rig brought in from Canada by fireworks/visual effects company Visual Liquid. The rig has 720 individual water droplet controls on the screen, each one set at a 10ml spacing. Each droplet has a solenoid valve on it, and each solenoid valve is controlled by a computer.
