An Oscars Moment Worth Waiting an Hour For

ABC came to PivotXP with a single goal — design a feature shareable enough to embody the Oscars themselves. We built the activation at the Museum of Academy Arts in Los Angeles, running through the lead-up to the show and at the official Oscars watch party.

Guests stood alongside oversized Oscar statues, stepping straight into the imagery of the night itself. Lines stretched well over an hour every day — proof the moment had real pull on a crowd that had no shortage of competing distractions.

Every guest left with their own commercial-quality video. It wasn't a photo op. It was an ad spot starring them.

Robot Arm Camera: Commercial-Quality on a Booth Footprint

The technical anchor was our Robot Arm Camera system — a programmable cinematic rig that swept around guests to capture them from multiple perspectives in a single take. The output looked like network broadcast, not booth footage.

PivotXP designed the camera path, tuned the lighting, and dialed in the timing so every output landed at studio quality without slowing the line down. Each clip rendered in HD and was prepped for immediate sharing.

The result: a turnkey activation that fit the footprint of a museum lobby and delivered video worthy of the show itself.

Every clip was engineered for sharing — branded for the Oscars, formatted for social, and delivered hands-free to each guest.

Across the run, 1,189 personalized videos were captured and shared a total of 6,258 times — every share carrying ABC and the Oscars straight into a guest's feed during the highest-stakes week on the network's calendar.

What started as a museum-floor activation ended as earned reach for the broadcast itself.
