Hasta La Motion!

Adobe is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Photoshop with “Dream On”, a commercial designed to be aired during the Academy Awards broadcast. The commercial places work from Photoshop artists alongside images from major motion pictures that used Photoshop in production, including ‘Avatar,’ ‘Gone Girl,’ ‘The Hobbit,’ ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2′ and ‘Shrek.’ All the artwork was carefully curated from Behance, the Adobe-owned portfolio community. Artists from all over the world contributed with their most amazing dreams—and their working files with layers. The files were then animated layer-by-layer and frame-by-frame to the original version of “Dream On” by Aerosmith.Adobe is also sponsoring paid online ad placements on Websites featuring coverage and commentary about the Oscars – including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and ABC, as well as paid promotion on Buzzfeed and Twitter.
