From Ben Gregor, director on "A tale of two Quitters":

"Shooting in prague, we got to build really good sets. They have an amazing tradition of set building out there. It was important to make everything from scratch as we needed a precise look for the environments that would be contemporary enough in design terms but also informal so you could still relate to the characters and find the spot funny. When you're doing pan-european ads with no dialogue you're balancing the look with the comedy to make it work in both Paris and Kazakhstan. It can be tricky but it's fun and sure beats sweeping the road."

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/HSE_Bedroom_thumb.jpg
A few words from Kathy Mattick & Shannon Sutherland, Saatchis Sydney, creatives on this week's featured TV & print campaign "Lend a hand"

The Unifem Lend a Hand Campaign was created to raise awareness of, and participation in, White Ribbon Day on November 25.

The aim of this year's campaign was to connect with men who passively encourage - or rather don't actively discourage - violence against women.
Rather than targetting perpetrators, we wanted to show that doing
nothing creates an atmosphere that gives oxygen to the offenders. Hence the campaign thought - Do nothing and you may as well lend a hand.

YoungGuns 2005. A few words from Andy Fackrell.

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/Andy-Fackrell-SMALL.jpg
By Andy Fackrell, Co-ECD, 180 Amsterdam
2005 YoungGuns Jury Chairman


YoungGuns 2005 was a show dominated by film; not necessarily in the 30 second spot - although there were some beauties - but ideas that pushed into longer and unconventional formats. It is relevant, and hugely encouraging, that younger creatives are leading the way.

Two of the Gold Bullets given in Film, to the mesmerizing Sony Balls cinema spot and Mini Counterfeit are examples of brilliant communication that are not only fresh in ideas but fulfilled through execution. The Sony spot will no doubt pick up a few gongs over the next 12 months - it was nice that the jury here in Sydney got to see it first. It was less effective over shorter lengths but got full value in its longest format: a great choice of music, director and editor, it reached its maximum potential due to it's craft. Counterfeit similarly showed an amazing depth, yet instead of one simple idea well honed, it was a simple idea jam packed with parody. Both were clearly made by real talents who understand that an idea is but the first stage in the process.

Viral film had some highlights with interesting craft decisions you would hope for in young teams. But where were the young directors? The jury struggled to find any stand out piece of work to include in this category. The same applied in other craft categories, aside from the animated Duke Spirit music video. You need a pretty decent song to kick-start a video but this one had it all going on. And kept you there till the last note.

It must be said, that print and the student entries were a little disappointing this year; both seemed hamstrung by old formats when compared to the above. You hoped that wouldn't be the case at YoungGuns. There was the Gold winning Playstation Bus Shelter from Malaysia, a really interesting DM piece for Singapore's Navy, but the best idea was probably a Bottom Drawer number from Sweden, that hoped to counteract an annual Nazi Rally held in a small town there. Check that one out in the book.

Maybe print really is slipping, in terms of relevance, and not the place to learn the business of advertising anymore? Yet, look at how good it can be, when pulled off with confidence, as with the Student Entry of the Year for Hubba Bubba. Congratulations Menno Kluin; you had a great idea and you showed great taste and restraint in your art direction. Your execution carried it off. Interestingly, the same attributes apply to the Sony Balls spot, easily voted by the whole jury as Best of Show; it’s creator Juan Cabral (Fallon London) honoured as the 2005 YoungGun of the Year.

So, in all, a really good show if not a little skewed to moving pictures. Some fantastic talent is out there, in all parts of the world, pushing advertising into new areas and blurring the lines between medias.

I'd like to thank the jury for the great effort and healthy, open debates that makes this show a little bit special. Also thank you YoungGuns for organizing a smooth event and their excellent hospitality; our livers, the weather and the Sculptures by the Sea all held up well that week.

Thank you Sydney.

YoungGuns 2005. A few words from Nobby.

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/david-nobay.jpg

By David Nobay, Chairman of Print / Outdoor Jury

How old is old? And how young is young?
It’s a question that bounced around both sides of the jury over the 3 days of judging this year. The simple fact is there’s a fair few 29 year old ‘heavyweights’ in the industry these days; complete with heavyweight salaries, titles and an enviable clutch of precious metal. Which, perhaps, explains just how ‘young’ so much of the winning YoungGuns work is.

Frankly, if we’d been told we were judging a major international ‘grown up’ award, I don’t think any of us would have been thrown. In a way, that’s a compliment to the high levels of craft and the general sense of sophistication in the conceptual thinking. But it’s also kind of sad, and a bit odd. Like a teenager walking around in his Dad’s business suit.

Personally, I was expecting more ‘spectacular failure’ – wild, radical and dangerous new thinking that totally ignored industry law and broke some new ground, albeit with a crude naivety.

Admittedly, there were some glaring exceptions that felt fresh from the asylum – Counterfeit Mini (Crispin Porter + Bogusky Miami) is a corker, across all media. The Gold Bullet winning PlayStation bubble-wrap outdoor (McCann Erickson Malaysia) is a genius alchemy of brand and consumer. The safe sex cards (Leo Burnett Canada) deserved their gong in copywriting and who could forget ‘Gay Nazi Rally’ (????) in the Bottom Drawer section? (By the way, a pure gift of a category criminally thin on outrageous creativity – given the criteria is ‘work the client didn’t have the balls to run’. Come on guys!).

Overall, the winning work is genuinely world class and the creators deserve to be proud. That said, this show is as much about sticking a cattle-prod up us industry old farts as celebrating youth, and I’d like to question what’s driving young creatives based on the bulk of the work.

After all, it’s all very well repeating the sins of your fathers, but the real fun is thinking up some fresh sin all of your own!.

2005 YOUNGGUNS INTERNATIONAL ADVERTISING AWARDS

 AWARD NEWS   USA    November 30, 2005 03:20 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
2005 YOUNGGUNS INTERNATIONAL ADVERTISING AWARDS – PRESS RELEASE

Friday night, November 25th saw the YoungGuns team host their 5th annual awards ceremony, exhibition and party in Sydney, Australia. Continuing with their ‘Hardly Legal’ theme on the night, a mixture of the industry’s personnel partied hard until the early hours of the following morning.

In the closest race in 5 years for the Agency of the Year title, Crispin Porter + Bogusky Miami looked certain to take the honours for the second year running after winning the highest number of Gold and Silver bullets across the most categories; that was until the jury unanimously voted Juan Cabral’s magical ‘Balls’ spot for Sony Bravia (out of Fallon London) as the ‘Best of Show’. This honour saw Fallon London leapfrog CP+B to claim the title.

The Sony ‘Balls’ spot picked up 2 Gold Bullets as well as Best of Show. It’s Argentinean creator and 2005 YoungGun of the Year Juan Cabral, will enjoy the US$5000 prize purse as well receiving an invitation from the YoungGuns organisers to sit on the 2006 YoungGuns Jury.

Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide also picked up the YoungGuns Network of the Year award for the second time (also winning in 2003) with wins from its offices in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Norway, Malaysia, USA and Singapore.

As Jury Chairmen, Andy Fackrell (180 Amsterdam) and David ‘Nobby’ Nobay (Saatchi Sydney) both commented, the overall standard of work entered in 2005 was great, although film proved to be a lot stronger than print (something quite the opposite in 2004).

The Student Award impressed yet again, with Menno Kluin (Miami Ad School Hamburg) taking the top prize for his ‘Hubba Bubba’ print campaign. Menno is currently working for ex-pat Aussie young gun Leo Premutico at Saatchi & Saatchi New York and was in Sydney to accept his Gold Bullet.

guest comments for featured spot "Prisoner"

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/november_2005/1033_Prisoner.jpg
From Simon Duffy, Saatchis Canada, CD & art director on the MADD spot:

Canadian statistics point to the fact that year after year, the one group
that seems immune to anti-drinking and driving messages are young males.
This should come as no great surprise. Everyone who was ever young knows
what it feels like to be invincible. Death is such a far away concept that
it has little impact on young adults’ lives. What does have an impact is
the concept of loss. Loss of freedom, Loss of mobility, Loss of love, Loss
of control. These are terrifying thoughts to a young man. This is what is
meant by the new line “You have a lot to lose.”

It is crucial to speak to a young male audience with a message that is
surprising and relevant to their life-stage. In this way MADD can plant the
seed early and disrupt drinking and driving behaviors before they become
habit. It is a strategy aimed at today and tomorrow. In the first
commercial, “Girlfriend”, we slowly reveal how drinking and driving has cost
a young man friendship, love, health and just about everything that is
important to him. In the second spot “Prisoner” we discover just how
horrible jail would be for an otherwise innocent young man.

Along with these commercials Saatchi also created a large billboard near the
Eaton Centre area of downtown Toronto. The billboard features the word GIRLS
spelled out in sexy pink illustrations of young women. The words was printed
in special light sensitive ink so that over a period of weeks it all but
disappeared leaving just the MADD logo and the line “You have a lot to
lose”.

From Kenan Moran of Curious Pictures NY, the director on the Comedy Central spots:

Our goal was to create the unexpected. While the spots were a highly technical process, we wanted to deliver a product that was naïve and amateurish. Also, any hint of preconception and the spots would be ruined.

The hardest part of the shoot was to accomplish a really unpolished feel that had a comedic tempo. In “Raging Bull” I heard Scorsese used his grandmother to shoot all of the home movie footage because Michael Chapman’s imagery was too “good” and looked like a DP shot it.

Scorsese’s grandma wasn’t available, so we made our DP shoot with his “left eye” so that he wasn’t so familiar with zooming and focal lengths, etc… and we refused to let the him use any lights too (unless technically we needed them, but never to enhance the aesthetic).

Our actors were chosen because of how natural they were. While we did follow scripts in our auditions, we chose the ones who felt sort of “raw” and inexperienced and who had an understated presence about them.

I think they did really well on camera, particularly because they were mostly doing something physical and didn’t have to really think about what they were doing too much.

The effects team was the real heroes of this project. They were the ones who seamlessly added or subtracted to make the spots look realistic. If they weren’t so beautiful, I’d buy them all a beer.

Perfect for the festive season

(& you've gotta love the V/O legals at the end)

Background:
The campaign, created by art director Jeremy Boland and copywriter Eric Terchila, includes 60 and 30 second television and radio commercials that will run through the end of the year, as well as a website. The spots, directed by Food Chain Films’ Vance Malone, spoof traditional late night music compilation infomercials by pseudo-selling “The Spirit of Fruitcake Volume Four.” The CD features holiday parody songs such as the R&B track “The Holidays Ain’t Nuttin’ Without My Fruitcake,” and the 80s ballad, “What’s That Fruitcake Doin’ Under My Tree.” The announcer interrupts the infomercial suggesting, “for a fruitcake gift they’ll really love, give fruitcake cash.”

Terry Schneider, creative director at BPN, commented on the challenge of casting a traditionally bad holiday gift in a good light, “For a long time, fruitcake has been demonized as a holiday nuisance, a gift worse than coal. We cut into fruitcake’s inherent fun-loving qualities and made it relevant and funny.”

The fruitcake parody songs were so well received by the Lottery, the agency produced a complete CD including full-length versions of the songs featured in the commercials. The CDs will be distributed to local radio stations for promotional use. The songs, composed and produced by Asche & Spencer, can also be downloaded on the campaign’s website, www.spiritoffruitcake.com.

Glue spreads further

SYDNEY: The Glue Society has boosted its numbers to nine writers/directors working in both Sydney and New York as it sets its sights on global expansion.

The latest member to join the creative collective is James Dive, a 26-year-old Australian creative who has been working at Grey London, under Dave Alberts, for two years. During that time, he has produced campaigns for Twix, Mars Delight and a high-profile campaign for Mothers Against Guns.

The Glue Society will also be taking on a pair of AWARD students who worked during the recent Yahoo! Think Tank project.

One of the collective’s co-founders, Gary Freedman, relocated to New York in May this year and along with partner Jonathan Kneebone has been working on Canal+ for BETC Euro, Paris and writing and directing an upcoming 60-minute mini-feature through @radical.media New York.

DDB singapore creates a visual treat for i-mode

i like. i-mode. StarHub and DDB unleash a new virtual reality.
from DDB Singapore:

You dont have to be Japanese to like i-mode.
THE CHALLENGE
True to its streak of innovation, StarHub decided to bring i-mode to Singapore. This represents an exciting challenge, transcending beyond the 3G wave (or was that a ripple), to offer a tried-and-tested, easy-to-use and content-rich mobile internet service for Singapore. The task was to break new grounds in communicating its promise. DDB knew it had to capture the imagination of consumers, get them visually arrested, and unleash that brand vitality for StarHub.

THE IDEA & EXECUTION
We found with i-mode, the magic is really in the product - at just a click away. The trick was to make it come out where virtual reality content engages with real people to provide a visual feast for the eyeballs.

DDB took to MTV hip appeal, where seamless moving photo-collage in 2D and 3D graphic animation inter-mingles as a dynamic vortex with the ever-changing moods of real users : at work, at play, on travel. It was symbolic of i-modes I-can-do-it-anytime, anywhere core idea. A surreal world of visual explosion accompanied by a funky techno soundtrack. We developed a simple brand mantra for the i-mode - which is i like. i-mode - and made that the chorus, a techno chant.

Convincing spec spot

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/MELFI_TVLand.jpg

Synopsis: Resembling an ordinary FOX-like newscast, this spec spot pits a couple of politicos against one another to fight it out over the economy. But when one guest’s comments are too technical for the others to grasp, he must resort to using a “Brady Bunch” analogy. Only then do we realize that this is a spot for TV Land. Director Theodore Melfi does give us an early – if subtle – hint, in the form of outrageous ticker items rolling across the bottom of the screen.
