North Face campaign, from Factory Design Labs and a Leviathan twist

Leviathan worked with Farm League’s team and director Tim Wheeler to make a campaign for The North Face, the world’s premier supplier of authentic, innovative and technically advanced outdoor apparel, equipment and footwear. 

The integrated, cross-promotional campaign was launched on November 20th together with Dick’s Sporting Goods (DSG) and includes a 30 seconds ad, directed by Wheeler and that includes design and visual effects from Leviathan. The start of the campaign is The North Face athlete Callum Pettit.

Spot’s winter effects, artful transitions from inside the store to the outdoor settings and back again, as well as all the original graphics, were conceived by Leviathan based discussions with FDL and Wheeler. Leviathan also handled all the editing and compositing in-house, as well as creating the custom end tags for The North Face now appearing in many other campaign elements.
