Friends x Blue Man Group
This collaboration brought together two recognizable entertainment brands in U.S. pop culture: Friends and Blue Man Group. Created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Friends, the video recreated the show’s famous opening credits in Blue Man Group style. The entire project was filmed on our white cyclorama at our Las Vegas production studio.
In true Blue Man Group style, the performance was messy, so careful planning was essential. Once the white cyclorama was marked, there was no time to repaint and reset it.
Bonus Material: Gunther from Friends
As a bonus to the commercial content, Gunther, the coffee shop barista from the show, made a surprise appearance at a Blue Man Group performance. We captured the appearance and created a short social piece.
