Rationale: world-changing events often can't be predicted, the course of history can literally change in a day. As a daily paper, the Cape Times keeps readers up to date on world events with quality journalism and insight. If you miss one dayâs issue, you may miss something big.

Creative Commentary ------------------------------------ The idea was to get fans as close to the World Touring Car Championship as possible, so we took them to a WTCC track, put them in a WTCC car with a WTCC driver and actually had another car out there racing with them.

Click here to view this ad Guest comments for the featured Axe spot "Snapshots" Some background from the copywriter, Eric Jannon, Marcel, Paris . We were really happy to have the opportunity to build this new African brand. After we made the corporate film (âlittle menâ available in this site), we started to describe in original ways the products and services available for the very first time in many countries in Africa. Making stewardesses, buses, planes and buildings suddenly disappear is a long but funny process mixing full SFX (plane), tracking, flame and real set (bus, bathroom). We will remember for long the inhabitants of downtown Johannesburg looking at the âopen bathroomâ and the half bus going all along the streets. Once the main post-production work done, we added details such as the water falling of the bathtub or the coffee pouring from the half cup handled by the guy in his bathroom. We liked the fact you can discover more at second or third look. The entire campaign will include 4 films, 4 reasons to thank especially Director Thierry Poiraud, his producer Nicolas Leclercq and agency producer Nicolas Buisset who all helped me a lot in this project.

The characters are in mundane but private moments being interrupted by a price gun in quite an abrupt manner. This is why the toilet scene ended up being so funny. You canÃât even see the price gun but the viewer already has that in mind so it works. And, we had a lot of fun making these films. Of course, the guy who had the worst job on set was the guy in the toilet with the price gunÃâÃæwe tried to make it as painless as possible for him. Fortunately he was a very small chap standing only 2 feet high....with really spindly arms.

We set out to achieve a rich, paranormal feeling, juxtaposing the silly nature of the spots with lush visuals. Traktor & director of photography Emmanuel Lebezki created a lovingly-told story in a visually relevant, stylized way." Click here to view this spot Guest comments for the featured spot "Existential Dilemma" A few words from Mark Peters, GSD&M, art director on the spot. The toilet featured in this spot is pretty unique considering it has no tank. And we thought about all the classic conceits with toilets and the whole "hide the gun behind the toilet" thing was one of them. We thought it'd be funny to put some gangsters in that situation with this toilet as it would present a kindof.... (drumroll) "Existential Dilemma." It was fun to write and it was fun to shoot. Todaro was terrific.

Click here to view this spot More of the Scion xB work - from ATTIK Description ------------------------------------ SANTA MONICA, CA, April 9, 2007 - Global creative and brand-engineering agency ATTIK's pre-launch campaign for the 2008 Scion xB continues to build momentum, and the latest entry showcases character animation by Eight VFX. The 3:30 web-only spot entitled "Hammer" was directed by Chelsea Pictures' Larry Frey, and it debuted on the web destination www.want2Bsquare.com on March 15."Hammer" tells the story of a big man and a little black box engaged in a battle of wills. Creative Commentary ------------------------------------ Distinctly European in tone, the short opens with a man perplexed by the appearance of an odd-looking black box in the middle of an apartment. He tries all the obvious things - lifting, pulling, shoving, kicking - but the box won't move. Even striking the box with heavy objects fails to affect any result. An equally stocky cohort stops by to take a crack at moving the box, but even repeated swings with a sledge hammer and a go with a chainsaw fail to do the trick. The box does move, eventually, stirring oddly and emerging from the floor...to reveal itself as a small robotic creature with a box for a head. The robot is a bit dazed, and none too happy about the treatment he has received. In fact, he kicks each man in the shin, before dizzily wobbling out of the room.
