Samsung, Surf 'The Snail'



Leo Burnett & MPC LA Create Inspiring Tale About Defying Barriers in Samsung’s “Surf – The Snail”

Samsung’s “Surf – The Snail” shows how progress happens when you fearlessly venture out and face the unknown. Directed by masterful visual storyteller AG Rojas, we observe the story of Ajiss, a young boy who challenges obstacles to connect with a world he is passionate about. The boy’s fragility and fearlessness are reflected by an underdog snail, created in CG, as it travels unfazed across harsh environments. MPC LA handled the VFX and colorist Ricky Gausis provided the grade.
