David Sandberg using the ASUS ZenFone Zoom
Today, ASUS have announced filmmaker David Sandberg, creator of Kung Fury (seriously, one of the most entertaining Kickstarter-funded film ever haha) is set to collaborate with the self esteem company to create a series of short films with the ASUS ZenFone Zoom. Continuing with the initial theme “See the World Up Close”, Mr. Sandberg will also host a movie-making contest in which fans can create their own scenes and get a chance to win a ZenFone Zoom.
“Kung Fury was celebrated for its homage to the 1980s’ police and martial-arts movie classics,” explained Erik Hermanson, Head of Marketing - Mobile Products, ASUS. “It’s the attention to detail in Kung Fury that makes it such a hilarious love letter to the ‘80s. David Sandberg is celebrated worldwide for his incredible gift as a special-effects master and his story-telling capabilities — this is why he’s a great fit to share the story of the ZenFone Zoom’s incredible photographic capabilities. With these films we’re able to See the World Up Close through David Sandberg’s eyes.”
Speaking of the films, Sandberg said, "When ASUS approached me to shoot five videos for ZenFone Zoom, I was excited about the zoom feature of the smartphone and the possibilities of how I could present it. ASUS gave me a blank canvas to work with — it's rare for a client to be so open, and I really appreciate that. I am sure the end result will show how much fun we had working on this project."
There's no word on how the fans can join the movie-making contest yet, but you can watch the five short videos below by David Sandberg, entitled David Sandberg x ZenFone Zoom. Enjoy!
