STEFAN SAGMEISTER: BUT IS IT A PENCIL?

The second in the series of animated films for the D&AD Awards 2008 Call for Entries - Stefan Sagmeister describes the creative process behind his Yellow Pencil-winning AIGA Detroit poster. The film may answer the question, ‘But is it a Pencil?’ but it raises just as many about the nature of creativity and the creative process itself. Krzystof Bierski and Camila Carlow from Goldsmith’s College, London – a Student Awards 2007 in-book team – animated the film.

SPEECHLESS IN HOLLYWOOD

 VIRAL   USA    November 30, 2007 00:00 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2007/Nov/10115_Speechless.jpg
Even the finest actors are vulnerable when working without a script - but beginning Thanksgiving Day (November 22), a staggering array of A-list Screen Actors Guild talent - including Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Jeff Garlin, Gary Marshall, and Harvey Keitel, to name a few - did just that as part of a "Speechless" campaign conceived by director/writer George Hickenlooper and writer Alan Sereboff. Driving home the importance of writers, the spots use various means to convey the actors' frustration in attempting to do their job without the proper tools. The ads are appearing exclusively on the Internet, the medium at the heart of the current WGA labor strike against the Alliance Of Motion Picture & Television Producers. Woody Allen, Charlize Therone, Philip Seymour Hoffman and others are slated to go before the cameras in the coming days.
Music Forever Owner/Composer Anthony Marinelli is providing original music, sound design, dialogue editing, and the final mix on the 20-plus spots. Given the absence of scripts or storyboards, these elements play a more critical role than usual.
Says Marinelli: "These are raw, mini-films with a screen-test-like quality, we're all shooting from the hip. The very nature of this campaign is that there is no script, so the music has to support the stories and pull them together without completely smoothing the rough edges.There is a new economic structure developing for all creative artists. It's nothing we could have planned for but it's something we all have to reconcile in order to survive.
"Obviously, we are looking forward to a resolution and at that time the campaign will be complete. In a way, though, the spots are a documentation of this moment in time, something we'll look back on for years to come."

In this commercial for Ford, via Ogilvy, London, we see a series of situations where small birds are getting about by hopping on the ground or hitching a ride on an escalator, a window cleaners cradle or even a skateboard. The reason for this becomes apparent when we see a caption, which reads, ‘Wouldn’t it be a shame if birds never used their wings’. Finally, we see two people getting into a Ford S-MAX and metaphorically spreading their wings as they drive off together.

GUEST JUDGES: MATT SMITH + DEREK GREEN, SAATCHI'S PARIS/GENEVA

 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   EUROPE    November 29, 2007 06:19 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/Matt%20and%20Derek%20photo.jpgThis week's guest judges are Matt Smith and Derek Green, who are based out of both the Saatchi & Saatchi Paris and Geneva offices. They are joint-regional Creative Directors for Central Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa on P&G. They roam this region meeting weird and wonderful people while trying to beat what the Saatchi NY office achieved last year at Cannes.

BEST TV
Like our photo, The Ode to Axehad the best intentions of being funny and macho but turned out to be quite frankly, gay. So our thumbs up must go to the Carling commercial. Nice insight. Great use of beards.

BEST PRINT
We have to reach for the abstain button on this one, as it's our team that produced the Head & Shoulders 1961 campaign. So we can't say that it's the greatest H&S ad we have ever seen. Nor can we say that Nick, Jorg, Daniela and Arturo are all legends. So coming in 2nd place, sorry 1st, is the Wall Campaign for the Audio Products Group.

BEST OUTDOOR
When it comes to outdoor we thought the Bayantel DSL 'Problem Downloading' billboard was a good use of the medium but for us the real standout was the Mitsubishi campaign from Brazil. It's a beautifully crafted campaign and should do well during the festival season.

THE UNCOMFORTABLE LIFE OF PAUL JENKINS

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2007/Nov/10035_Stiff_1_300dpi_1.jpg
Ogilvy London's challenge was to reframe Comfort's core benefits so they'd serve as a reason why Comfort makes a good clothes day. Ogilvy wanted to dramatise how Comfort made you feel great in you clothes rather than just explaining how Comfort made clothes feel great. "Practically everyone we spoke to, whether in Europe, Latin America or South East Asia referred to Jeans when they were talking about clothes they felt great in," said creative director Alasdair Graham. "Jeans really are a universal item of clothing that eptimomises comfort - emotional if not always physical. Indeed, when jeans feel good, they're the item of clothing that people feel really comfortable in - the very stuff of good clothes day. This provided us with the campaign proposition: Say goodbye to cardboard jeans with Comfort. This opened doors for a number of other actvities, such as the short film which tells the story of "The uncomfortable Life of Paul Jenkins", a real-world character who suffers from cardboard jeans with serious lifestyle consquences but who shuns help, refusing to use Comfort to alleviate the symptons."
