The two-spot Abbott Labs campaign mixed by Digital Arts Rex Recker is an exercise in audio precision and elegance. The spots use specific visual metaphors: a room of mirrors from which the actor and a malevolent virus move about cautiously; and an elaborate waterfall that comes to a near standstill so the details of each droplet can be examined, to highlight the company’s crucial medical advances.
“In the ‘Infinity Room’ spot, the sound effect the virus makes as it floats around the room was a major creative concern,” Recker says, “especially when the actor grabs the virus and crushes it in his hands. That simple bit of sound deign took a while to come up with and everyone agree upon.”
