Ja. Hennessy Cognac, Ltd.


LENGTH: 12 minute
PROJECT: A Virtual Tour of the Hennessy facilities in Cognac, France.



The 3D video begins with the re-enactment of the famous Battle of Fontenoy, a historical illustration depicting the company founder, James Hennessy, as he distinguished himself as a war hero. The video then takes the viewer on a tour of the facility and a glimpse at the process of making fine French cognac.

The client wanted to introduce their product to an entirely new demographic and chose 3D to draw interest where there there seemed to be little.

PRESENTATION: Barrel shaped traveling exhibit. Head Mounted Displays fitted into "Thunder Chairs". There were actually two levels to this exhibit. The lower floor was devoted to the visuals and the floor above was decorated in the French Regency style with a sitting room, hand-carved antique bar that served each visitor a complementary cognac.
