NATURAL BORN HITTERS AT THE CRICKET TWENTY 20 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Standard Bank is sponsoring the South African Cricket Team during the inaugural Twenty 20 World Championship. TBWAHunt Lascaris created the line ‘Natural born hitters’ and calls on all South Africans to ‘Get behind our team’. To bring the concept onto a billboard, they placed a smoke machine between the bat and the ball. When the smoke machine goes off, it gives the illusion that the ball has been hit with so much power, it is smoking.

180'S WORLD CUP VIRAL FOR ADIDAS

 VIRAL   NETHERLANDS    September 26, 2007 07:34 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2007/Sep/8774_001.jpg
Hopefully this piece shows that Dan Carter, the All Blacks, and adidas believe that if you work hard enough, believe in yourself and have others believe in you then anything is achievable. It’s not impossible to start by playing in the back garden and end up at the World Cup. And who knows, maybe even winning it?
Says copywriter, Nick Marzano: “Whilst shooting the Dan Carter sequence in Southbridge, Dan’s parents invited us to their house a couple of streets away from the ground to have some lemonade and check out the posts and field his Dad had built for Dan to practice on when he was a boy. Because the main crew needed to go on and shoot Richie McCaw in Kurow, Stuart and I decided that we would split up and I should take a couple of the cameramen from Documentary crew and shoot Dan showing us around. We shot the whole spot in 30 minutes, it was totally unscripted apart form a couple of scribbles on a scrap of paper, just Dan and his Dad at home in the backyard, having a kick around, a good laugh and talking about old times”

The Dairy Farmers of Canada are using short tvcs in their new push that has just gone to air. In total there will be 50 spots in the campaign – all created by Head Gear Animation for Due North Communications, Toronto. The Campaign runs to Christmas and as each spot is completed, it begins airing.
The agency requested that they be made odd, quirky yet also rich. The concept is to have a different look for each spot, which was a wonderful opportunity for Head Gear as they got to pull out all the animation stops. The campaign draws on the full range of animation styles including stop motion, claymation, cel, 2D, and collage,

Mother's latest campaign from Discovery channel - promoting their new series on London Ink.
The tattoos on the sculptures have been designed by Louis Malloy, the star of the show. He is the Beckham’s tattooist.
They are also giving away three different tattoos in the Observer on Sunday 23 September. They were each designed by the three other stars of the show: Dan Gold, Phil Kyle and Nikole Lowe.
All of the tattoos are based on combining classic tattoo iconography with London imagery and are based around the idea ‘London’s Getting Ink.’
Mother will be ‘clean stencilling’ city sidewalks next week while the sculptures are up. So the city itself will be getting tattooed.
The swimmer is 35-feet long and will be in Potter’s Field at Tower Bridge from Sept 18-23 and will then be moved to Greenwich Park. His tattoo is a classic Japanese Carp shown on a bed of chips and newspaper with a Japanese wave-style splash of vinegar on top.
The girl is 18-feet long and will be sticking her head into a normal-sized photo booth. She will be in Victoria Station for two weeks starting Sept 20. Her tattoo is a ‘glorious pigeon,’ which is a stylized pigeon done up like a classic ‘war eagle’ tattoo, complete with tattered feathers and a gimpy foot.
