WEAPON 7 : GOOD THINGS SHOULD NEVER END

Weapon7 launched this stop-motion, interactive spot for Orange‘s unlimited campaign. “What we wanted to do with this is drive a deeper engagement and expand knowledge of Orange’s ‘unlimited’ proposition by provoking a discourse online, so that people can collectively find and highlight where Orange have hidden a number of ‘good things’ and then go back to the TV and find them.”

The site is a pretty cool flash piece that ‘Never Ends’. Apparently there is an end somewhere, but you would have to be mad to actually find it: www.goodthingsshouldneverend.co.uk
