LED Digital Billboard Truck Videos
Digital billboard truck videos showcase how advertising content can be displayed across one, two, or three LED screens on a mobile billboard truck. These videos demonstrate different creative formats including 3D animation, anamorphic visuals, AI-generated content, and traditional animated ads. By using various screen layouts and video techniques, businesses can create eye-catching mobile advertisements that attract attention and deliver their message clearly while the truck moves through busy streets and events.
How Do I Get My Advert on a Truck?
If you are new to digital billboard trucks, this section covers the essentials before we dive into the media examples below.
No, the truck can display everything any other billboard truck can display, but typically it displays it better because of the resolution and quality of the screens.
Basically, anything that can be displayed on your phone, laptop or computer can be displayed on one of our trucks. It is highly likely that we can display your existing marketing material with minimal or no work.
The truck has three screens, a left, a rear and a right. The left and right screens are 1920 x 768 pixels and the rear is 768 x 768 pixels. You would size your media images and video to best fit these sizes and simply send us the media for us to display.
Yes, if you wanted your image or video to run on the left and rear of the truck, simply size the image or video to be 2688 x 768 pixels or 4608 x 768 pixels for left, rear and right sides.
The hardware in the truck will resize the content to match, but there will be some distortion as your content is either stretched or shrunk in one dimension height or width to fit the truck panel. This may not be a problem visually, if the stretching is minimal.
Yes, and we can do that very quickly and inexpensively with in-house tools and expertise. Please tell us what you would like and we can provide a quote.
The media will be displayed on panels having the following sizes:
3D Video
3D Video invariably involves animation because 3D objects are not real pictures but are models that mimic real pictures that are able to be rotated in free space by the video software. Step one, is therefore to model the image using animation. A 2D picture cannot be used as a 3D model, unfortunately. It is the rotating and moving of the 3D model that creates the perception of depth to the video.
3D on One Screen
Here is a 3D video shown on one screen. One flat screen is obviously two dimensional, but the animation is used to give the 3D effect.
3D on Two Screens
Here is a 3D video shown on two screens set at 90 degrees, the rear and right of the truck. A third dimension is now added because the screens are set at 90 degrees.
3D videos shown on two screens set at 90 degrees are termed anamorphic. Anamorphic addressing how the video is distorted to appear natural and give depth using two surfaces.
If choosing a 3D solution we suggest combining a 3D anamorphic video and a regular 3D video to wrap the whole truck.
3D, One Screen, Real Estate
3D animated video giving a 3D effect. Great for restaurants, doctors, dentist or any real estate based business.
3D Anamorphic, 2 Screens, Real Estate
3D anamorphic, great for restaurants, doctors, dentist or any real estate based business.
3D, One Screen, Example Product
3D animated video giving a 3D effect. Great for products, jewelry, automobiles, cell phones.
3D Anamorphic, 2 Screens, Product
3D anamorphic, great for products.
3D Anamorphic Production
Animating a 3D scene of a billboard truck sitting in a container with a logo on the back of the container.
3D Anamorphic Adding Color and Light
Having settled on the basic concept, then the animator has to add color and lighting effects for every frame in the scene. If the scene is 10 seconds long, and the video runs at 30 frames per second, then there are 300 frames to consider. A tiny change in animation, color and lighting is implemented for each frame until the whole scene is completed and runs seamlessly.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Video
Here’s what AI has to say about AI video: Videos created or modified by artificial intelligence, using machine learning to generate content from text prompts, images, or existing clips, automating tasks like scriptwriting, animating avatars, and editing to produce professional videos without extensive human filming or skills, streamlining creation for marketing, training, and entertainment.
Creating a 3D Effect with a 2D Video
Here is an AI generated video that is not 3d, but is a 2D video wrapped around two surfaces of a truck.
The video has the appropriate pixel dimensions to cover two sides of a truck such that it is not distorted.
Despite not being 3D, it gives an uncanny feeling that the truck is actually carrying a tank of water. AI videos are not just restricted to water and options are only limited by your imagination!
AI HD Spaceman Video
Another high-definition AI video that beautifully demonstrates the capabilities of our high definition p2.5 screens.
P2.5 means that the LEDs are spaced 2.5 mm apart, as oppose to the industry standard of 4mm or 5mm. This results in a resolution of approximately double that of other LED trucks.
Animated Video
Sometimes simple animated video shown to thousands of people going to the game is all it takes to get your business noted. Here are some examples of flat (2D) animated video that we can provide.
One Video, 3 Sides
Here is a 2D animated video repeated on the left and rear of the truck. Because the rear of the truck is significantly narrower than the side, the video was not distorted but was cropped to fit the rear panel.
Consequentially, the same source video is displayed on all three sides, so video production cost is decreased.
One video is produced for the whole truck.
Two Videos, Three Sides
Here the 2D animated video is shown on the left and right sides of the truck with a second video ran on the rear that is in sync with the side.
For this effect, two videos have to be produced.
One Video, Two Sides, Same Video Cropped, Third Side
Here is a 2D animated video shown on two sides and the rear of the truck. All the video footage is the same but the video for the rear panel is cropped showing only the center piece.
For this effect, only one video is required.
Another take away from this video is that it is so bright using white and primary colors it is hard to miss. The bright screens of the truck are hard to miss!

Frequently Asked Questions
We showcase 3D video, anamorphic video, AI-generated video, and standard animated video formatted for mobile LED billboard trucks.
Yes. A campaign can be designed for one screen, two adjacent screens, or three sides depending on the creative approach.
Yes. We can help plan and produce custom video content that fits the truck screen dimensions and campaign goals.
We believe that 3D imagery and video is a growing trend and rightly so as it captures a viewer’s attention significantly more than a flat 2D static image because of the impression that is created of a moving image projecting or protruding out of the screen.
Not at all. Most of the videos we see on the internet are actually 2D videos wrapped around two screens.
This depends upon the complexity of the animation. The general rule is that the more animation involved, the higher the expense.
Absolutely, but there would be an expense to customize it to your needs.
Currently, most 3D billboard videos are animated. However, some 3D videos use real video footage with special cameras, while others combine live-action footage with computer-generated effects to create the illusion that objects extend beyond the screen. As we move through those options, the cost can rise rapidly toward film-industry budgets.
