DUREX HELPS STAMINA AND CONTROL

Hilarious new work from DDB New Zealand! Durex Performa condoms contain benzocaine (a mild anaesthetic), which helps men last longer in bed. To highlight this product benefit they distributed limited edition pillowcases alongside Performa condoms at New Zealand's biggest annual sex expo, Erotica. As a result the Durex stand was inundated, increasing sales by 28%. The pillowcases proved such a hit with the guys that hundreds more were printed and sold in D.Vice sex stores as a continuation of the promotion.

DDB London's new work on Budweiser. A guy visits random bars all over the town after his answer machine seeminlgy chews up the destination. And a guy on a train on his mobile phone needs to get the all important address for the party tonight. He has to run in the opposite direction as the train goes into a tunnel to not lose the signal.
Said creative director Dylan Harrison: "We've all been to those bad bars, you know the moment you step inside that something is wrong. All credit to the director Bryan Buckley for telling the relatively complicated story and yet keeping it light... the punchline is such a silly gag it doesn't stand up to much scrutiny. The same goes for the 'Tunnel' spot, where Bryan managed to have fun while making a complicated story appear simple."

TWO MORE YELLOW TAIL SPOTS FROM LANCE KELLEHER

Here are the other two in the series for Yellow Tail (see previous Godzilla Oct 24th posting). Shot on location in Toronto by Lance Kelleher, who used celebrated iconic scenes from pop cult films of the 1950s with the added twist of the luminous yellow tail being surprisingly revealed at the end.
“The creative was terrific allowing me to not only pay homage to the classic black and white photography of James Wong Howe of Hud and Greg Toland of Touch of Evil fame, but also to bring both wonder and amusement to the campaign,” says Kelleher.
“What makes this campaign so effective is the suspense and reveal followed by the tag line that brings a smile to the viewer's face,” says Executive Producer, Rupert Maconick. “The wry comedy is only enhanced by the strikingly graphic nature of the photography which has a seduction all its own.”

It is the fastest production car Audi has ever produced, but because each one is constructed with painstaking precision, largely by hand, it actually has by far the slowest build process of all Audi models. BBH London wanted to make a film which made the slow process of constructing an R8 as beautiful as the car itself. They used a filming technique developed by director Olivier Gondry and observed a group of real Audi mechanics over a number of days as they constructed the vehicle from the very first bolt to the finished car. The effect captured the workers’ movement through time; each frame measured a point in time compressed into one shot, requiring a minimum of 20 different shots and four layers to achieve the unique visual effect.
