Intel's human digital billboard

Party is behind this new project for Intel Asia, to promote the brand's Ultrabook laptop. In order to demonstrate the Ultrabook's "thinness and responsiveness", the agency choreographed 60 people with Ultrabooks to create a flash-mob human digital billboard, otherwise known as the 'Ultrabook pop-up theatre'...
The film above shows the human billboard in action, providing accompanying visuals to a man hailing a taxi, a group of bodybuilders working out, and a girl on her birthday, amongst many other scenes. Check out the Ultrabook pop-up theatre site here for more.

It appears to be very tricky to choreographed these 60 people, so this agency did a very good job on their project 'Ultrabook Pop-Up Theater'. 212.734 watches on youtube since 10.02.2012! Hats off!

Impressive. Something we've been desperate to do for a while.

Inspired by the advertising but no the product!

the core benefit of this particular product is a 60 screen division? so i need 60 laptops right?
aside from that, laptops are 'personal computers' they don't enhance social situations with their basic functions.
Its a nice use of the screens...but beyond that its a dishonest and contrived way of advertising a product with no usp. sorry to piss all over the fruity music there guys
