Ultrasilencer – Clean Your Mind by Electrolux


Electrolux – Prime PR

How do you explain what silence is? How do you capture silence visually? Together with Prime and Electrolux we’ve been working on how to portray the fact that their new generation of vacuum cleaners are extremely silent.
Firstly, we wanted to find the most illustrative way to instantly explain that the vacuum cleaner is silent. To achieve this we used the classic and iconic mute symbol in one image and in another image the vacuum cleaner is soundproofed with pillows – an image that will immediately create interest from viewers and editors.

Secondly, we also worked on finding images to support a new concept ‘Clean Your Mind’ – developed to emphasize the very value of silence. In our daily lives, neither the sound nor the act of vacuum cleaning is usually associated with a moment of peace, quiet often it is the opposite. It takes on average 15 minutes to vacuum. What if you could also use that time for your own well-being? Clean Your Mind is the world’s first meditation program developed for vacuum cleaning. The program is based on informal meditation and was created to fill the duration of an average vacuum cleaning session. It has been developed by Electrolux in collaboration with Gunilla Lönnberg, an experienced Swedish meditation instructor. Carrying out meditation while performing everyday chores such as vacuum cleaning is called ‘informal meditation’ – an opportunity to clean not just your home, but also your mind.
The program is produced especially for the act of vacuum cleaning and contains instructions for informal meditation, together with background audio designed to harmonize with the specific low sound characteristic of the UltraSilencer vacuum cleaner. The background music in the program is produced solely using sounds from the vacuum cleaner. The meditation program comes as a whole collection of tracks, easily adaptable to fit the size of one’s home and the number of rooms. It is available on Spotify, iTunes or SoundCloud.

Hot Chilli up in flames

Felix – Colony

This project initially started out as a 3D visualisation for a ketchup bottle. We were pretty fired up when we were asked to take it to the next level in preparation for a TV ad. We then modelled some chillies, shot some flames and set up some virtual lighting to create the final section of Felix’s latest TV ad for Hot Chilli tomato ketchup.

Motion Graphic Designer?

“Most things still remain to be done. A glorious future!”

It seems only natural to cite Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, considering the IKEA film but it also highlights the fact that we are investing in the future. This is why we are now looking to strengthen our creative talent with a skilled and experienced Motion Graphic Designer with a passion for innovative motion solutions.

As a Motion Graphic Designer you will be an important person in our investment in animation. You will have a leading role in our technical and creative development. You will primarily be an animator, but your skills in modelling, lighting and rendering will also be needed as you will often lead smaller productions yourself (naturally with the help from our various creatives). We therefore believe that you have approximately four years experience of 3D production when joining us.

Bsmart’s business concept is simple: We take full responsibility for the production of both still images and various types of motion media. From styling and photography, to 3D/CGI, retouching, modelling and animation. In short, everything to do with with great images. We are 20 people with studios in Stockholm and branches in Gothenburg and Cape Town.

You can download a full job description in english or swedish.

If you have any questions, or if you have already decided to send us your application to join us on our exciting journey into the future, then please contact work@bsmart.se

SBSeating – A plus M

We were entrusted by the agency A plus M to photograph some chairs, both in the studio and on location. The client SBSeating, along with the brands HÅG and RH, are well known for their distinctive chairs so we also filmed an instructional video to show the specific core functions of the chair. To be as effective as possible for the client, we gathered all the necessary resources within our studios so that we could both film and photograph on the same day!
