Swarovski Passage

by Mentzel, Anna 1 February 2010 in Swarovski Passage

Passage - a short film and an installation presented by Swarovski Entertainment - was made to become an online experience as well.

To reach this goal we used stills, videos and audio from the film and integrated it into a crystalized world of fragments where there is no end and no beginning.

The online project was devided in three launch phases. In the first phase the website announced the upcoming Passage film just showing a slim cutout the viewer could sneak through.

Who We Are and What We Do

Meyer, Miller, Smith.

Head. Hands. Heart. We believe that there is a real connection between craftsmanship and communication.

As information and intelligence becomes the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: Emotions.

People want to experience beauty, enjoy one’s work, feel passion, they want to interact with each other. We all want.

That’s why we believe that the future of brands is interaction, not commodity. It’s not something you buy, but something you participate in.
