TINDER is continuing its successful brand campaign ‘It Starts with a Swipe’. The newest ads, created in collaboration with the agency Mischief, are inspired by film scenes depicting love at first sight. The campaign, photographed by French hybrid photo-digital artist Pol KURUCZ c/o B&A REPS GERMANY, provides a witty modern take on cliché scenes from romantic comedies.
The message behind it: Life is not a rom-com, but dating apps do make the meet-cute that much sweeter – and us happy.
The creative improves compositing by using his own custom AI: AI reality checks for final compositing and retouching. In other words, image-to-image generation that can make elements like dogs, for example, look more realistic. Pol trains his own AI models and doesn’t have to worry about copyright issues.
A big thank you to Mischief USA and Producer Hannah Kessler.
