Prada Linea Rossa x Red Bull | Human Catapult

The elevator is only the beginning. Inside Slovenia's Trbovlje chimney, Dani Roman and Fred Fugen ride up to a launch capsule, then prepare to be fired into the sky by a spring-powered catapult.
"Prada Linea Rossa x Red Bull | Human Catapult" is a branded extreme-sports film, and the most-watched of Prada's three new uploads. The apparatus was developed by Slovenian acrobats and engineers DD Squad. The film follows the waiting, the launch and the parachute descent, before the pair inspect footage on a phone and pose with a Guinness World Records certificate. Viewers are discussing the engineering as much as the airborne high-five; several make the same altitude-related joke about that greeting.
The upload has reached about 35,000 views. Elsewhere on the week's menu, "Mi Shang Prada Rong Zhai" presents chocolate panettone, while "Prada Caffè at ION Orchard" introduces a decorative chocolate sphere conceived by pastry chef Diego Crosara. Both are promotional films for the brand's festive collections. From launch capsules to confectionery is quite a change of gear.
The larger viewing momentum belongs to the earlier "Drawing Prada: Animated by Hand" campaign and its Maya Hawke film. These ads combine live action with hand-drawn environments, with Glen Luchford directing the ensemble campaign and John Pomeroy overseeing animation. Hawke appears alongside Chen Haoyu, Sadie Sink, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Luther Ford in the wider campaign.
Prada gained a thousand subscribers over the week, although its daily views are running below their usual pace. Among the luxury houses here, only CHANEL added more weekly views. Prada's animated winter scenes, rather than its new leap into the sky, account for the busiest highlighted uploads.
