My favourite Cannes Grand Prix: Partha Sinha

My favourite Cannes Grand Prix: Partha Sinha

The Cannes International Festival of Creativity is just 11 days away, and its time to recall some of the best work that has been celebrated at the festival over the years. Campaign India continues to ask adlanders to pick their favourites from among all Grand Prix winners at Cannes.

Partha Sinha, managing partner, BBH India, selected the Halo 3 'Believe' campaign that won Grand Prix awards in two categories in 2008 - Film and Integrated.

John 117/Monument

Enemy Weapon

Gravesite

Combat

 

  

On the 'Museum of Humanity' concept that is a highlight of the campaign, Sinha said, "For gamers, a game isn't virtual reality, it's reality itself. The 'Museum of Humanity' idea recreated a war and post-war experience for the viewer. It took something that was virtual reality to a completely different high, making it seem like reality."
