An interactive campaign for the Defence Force Recruiting invites the public to take a look at what it takes to become a fighter pilot.

Behind the Visor was created by GPY&R Melbourne and produced by Jungle Boys, and will be promoted across online, radio and TV in May.

The focus will be on directing the public to a website that features videos and online simulations focussing on the lives of fighter pilots and giving the “everyday civilian the chance to see what it takes to be a Top Gun.”

Ben Coulson, chief creative officer of Y&R Australia/New Zealand,  said in the announcement: “Part film, part first-person game, part interactive documentary and recruitment website. Every element was developed inside GPY&R and I think it beautifully represents our capability as a modern integrated agency.”

Matt Farrugia, digital director, said: “The journey unfolds with video and interactive challenges, all to excite ambitious prospective candidates. It’s a sleek HTML5 project, made from 50,0000 lines of code, delivered entirely through the browser, making it super quick to load for a great user experience.”
