Capitec: F1

Recasting a payment device as the fastest machine in the pit lane.

Capitec wanted to communicate the speed and ease of its card machines in a way that felt native to Formula 1 programming.

01 / The challenge

Make a functional claim feel cinematic

The product benefit needed to read immediately in a fast-moving broadcast environment. LucidState turned the card machine into the race car at the centre of a top-down, high-energy pit stop.

02 / The approach

A visual metaphor with technical precision

The terminal was modelled and textured in 3D, animated with dynamic motion blur and composited into the live-action environment. Mechanics were rotoscoped so their movement could wrap naturally around the device, while a countdown translated speed into an immediate demonstration.
