In the press release entitled Zona Creates Image Spot For
History Channel's Conspiracy?, created and produced a :30 image
spot posted on December 13, 2004, it embarked upon the thought
provoking new program - Conspiracy, which is seen every evenings
on The History Channel.
ZONA Design was founded in 1999. It is an award winning
multi-disciplined design agency creating results driven work
that is bold and direct for all points of contact with the
consumer in the general, Hispanic, and youth markets. The
company’s portfolio includes high profile projects for
Disney/ESPN Networks, AOL Time Warner Networks, 5Boro
Skateboards, Discovery Communications, Encore Media Group,
Rainbow Media Holdings, Chrysler, Dodge, and the various A&E
Networks.
“The idea is that conspiracy can happen anywhere, be perpetrated
by anyone. I broke down the word ‘conspiracy,’ separating the Y,
adding a question mark - Why, why, why are there so many
unanswered questions. We employed fast cuts, continuously
shifting compositions by moving the camera on select stills, in
the process creating a sense of urgency and a feeling of
agitation and constant motion. The images suggest numerous
questions - Is that a clandestine rendezvous? What happened
behind that police tape? Who is skulking in the shadows? Is
someone in that sea of faces guilty, and of what? This is why we
want the viewer to watch Conspiracy? and make up his or her own
mind as to what really happened”, explained ZONA
Director/Creative Director Zoa Martinez.
“ZONA did some award-winning work for us recently and I was
looking forward to working with them on the image campaign for
Consipracy?,” stated The History Channel Producer/Writer Mike
Scalere. “We gave ZONA a tricky assignment as they needed to
come up with a concept that would cover all the shows in the
series and not rely on images of Princess Di or Martin Luther
King or other immediately recognizable icons. We needed a
completely graphic look, a dark, mysterious air for the series
and we had to be very clear not to say a conspiracy was afoot
but rather to present images, have them act as evidence, and
then have the viewer make up their own minds about the events
they had just witnessed. ZONA created images, each with a
bizarre twist, snapshots which force the viewer to examine every
piece of the footage for clues. They did a wonderful job.”
Watch out for it! It is for sure an interesting program to look
forward to. For more information visit the ZONA Design web site
