Vantage Pictures drops cinematic global campaign for OnePlus Pad 3 launch

Vietnam-based production house Vantage Pictures has just released a visually striking global campaign for the new OnePlus Pad 3, showcasing the tablet as the go-to creative powerhouse for professionals who live and work on the move.

Shot entirely on location in Almaty, Kazakhstan, the film blends grounded storytelling with surreal visual metaphors—highlighting just how far the OnePlus Pad 3 pushes the boundaries of what a creative tablet can be. The decision to shoot in Kazakhstan wasn’t just for the dramatic mountain backdrops. “We needed access to a modern airport. We needed diversity in our cast. And we needed locations that didn’t look like a generic studio backlot,” says Paul Moore, Vantage Pictures Director. “Almaty gave us all of that—and more.”

The film follows three high-performance creatives—a game producer, an industrial designer, and a travel content creator—each unlocking their flow state using the Pad 3’s standout features. Scenes include cloning effects to visualize multitasking, stylus-drawn motorcycles that materialize into full-scale concept bikes, and airport lounges transformed into mobile editing bays.

Music and sound design was handled by Two AM Music. Kit Kuan Leong, Two AM Music’s Audio Director, said: “We designed the music and sound to echo the film’s central theme, clearing mental clutter and embracing ease. Each musical shift follows the characters’ journey, flowing seamlessly across moods while anchored by a simple motif. On the sound design side, we leaned into contrast: from the chaos of sensory overload to the crisp clarity of tech precision, letting every transition breathe and build with intention.”

The result? A fast-paced, premium-feeling, visually immersive spot that challenges conventional expectations of what a tablet campaign should look like—and reminds us that creativity isn’t limited by place, time, or tools.
