Through a tap of the thumb and the use of #ShootTheMovie, a bespoke launcher built in collaboration with 10HZ fired DVDs at targets live on Twitter.

Live for one action-fuelled day, eyes were glued as films shot out at over 30mph. If their DVD landed on a shelf, they won. If they hit a star, they won a colossal-sized movie package. Boom.

Results

Over 16,000 people took part — driving awareness and demonstrating how easy it was to stock up your DVD shelf with Sky Buy & Keep, a movie service that delivered a copy of every film you downloaded from Sky straight to your door.
