Silent Crunch

A playful, AI-driven launch film for Doritos built on a simple tension. Doritos are famously loud. What if technology could cancel the crunch?

Project Details

Doritos Silent launched as the idea of an AI-augmented snack: downloadable software that listened for Doritos crunches and cancelled them in real time, so gamers could keep eating without giving themselves away on the mic. The film leans into exaggerated tech culture, treating snack-noise suppression with the seriousness of advanced sound analysis and AI infrastructure. The interface becomes part of the joke, intentionally over-engineered and theatrically precise

I designed and animated the UI elements that drive the narrative, shaping how crunch detection, cancellation and feedback were visualised on screen. The motion needed to feel technically credible yet clearly excessive, balancing precision with satire.

I created the on-screen graphics for the main launch film, directed by Josh Cohen and produced through OB42, part of a wider campaign led by Sips & Bites.

Concept

The interface works as both storytelling device and comedic amplifier, grounding the absurdity in a cohesive visual framework. The joke is in the overkill: treating a crunch like a threat to be detected, analysed and cancelled.

The campaign went on to win a Yellow Pencil and additional pencils at the D&AD Awards 2024 and a Silver at the Clio Awards 2025.
