The campaign focuses on an animated intergalactic tournament parodying the high speed and energy of American sports channels like ESPN. They feature a cast of highly-original aliens, playing party games in the tournament. Nexus Productions created over 20 individual alien characters, among the many animations, each of which were pencil drawn before being rendered in 3D. The directors, Tom & Mark Perrett, commented, We worked closely with the creatives at TBWA from the outset and developed the scenarios in the script together. We had loads of fun coming up with all the ideas but we gave ourselves a huge amount of work to do." More Barclays Bank / BBH London work The new Barclays bank adverts ....

Electronic Arts Battlefield 2 Modern Combat through W+K From W+K Amsterdam ... In our fully integrated campaign (online digital basecamp, TV, print, outdoor, POS, PR) we take a fictional journalist and put him into the middle of the digital battlefield to find out what's new in 'today's war'. Ken Chappel has amazing white teeth, a stitched-on smile and is a real life war correspondent with a difference he is reporting from within a video game. In these two spots, Hotswap and Multiplayer, Ken is green-screened into the game and the heat of the action, giving us the low-down, in his own particular fashion, on the greatest war on earth. Creative Directors: Don Shelford, Joe de Souza Art Director: Anders Stake Copywriter: Mike Farr Producer: Neil Henry Production company: Exposure Films UK Director: Jake & Jim "You have the qualities to be an Army officer" says Publicis Army experiences intercut nicely with life experiences Agency: Publicis UK Art Director: Alistair Ross Copywriter: Robin Garton.  The new ads feature real officers. They are initially shown in civilian situations using one of the qualities required by Army Officers. We then cut to an Army situation where they are using the same quality in a different environment. One execution, entitled Peace Maker, shows a civilian nightclub owner diffusing a confrontation outside his club. The ad then cuts to show the same man as an Army officer calming down a potentially hostile situation at a checkpoint. The two worlds are juxtaposed throughout the ad. The voice over says Diplomacy is just one of the qualities you need for a career as an army officer. Explore your potential at officerqualities.mod.uk.

Co: Home films Country: UK WIEDEN+KENNEDY/AMSTERDAM MAKES DESIGNS ON TOP NIKE CREATIVE Design and brand visionary Andy Walker leaves central role at Nike Portland to join W+K/Amsterdam Wieden+Kennedy/Amsterdam announced the hiring of Nikes Andy Walker to the creative team. Walker leaves his leadership position of Art Director, Advanced Concepts Group, Global Brand Design at Nike HQ in Portland to become Creative Director at W+K/Amsterdam, working across all clients under the leadership of Executive Creative Directors Al Moseley and John Norman. This is a major coup for Wieden+Kennedy/Amsterdam and were delighted to welcome Andy on board, said John Norman. Andys creative reputation at Nike is already legendary. Hes been central to developing a present and future vision for the global Nike brand. Were stoked that hes joining us. Al Moseley continued, With a background in design rather than advertising, hes got a fresh perspective on where the ad industry is going, both creatively and conceptually. Hes going to have a major impact on the work we produce. Not just for Nike but all our clients are going to benefit from his appointment. Design award-winning Andy Walker, originally from the UK, has spent the last five years at Nike Portland where he set visual direction of Nike brand communications to consumers worldwide. Projects have included design strategy and execution on high profile global initiatives such as World Cup 06, 2004 Olympics, designing the Nike corporate jet, and conception of the Nike iD retail Space in New York, a first of its kind customization studio for footwear. I started out in fashion, moved into sport, then brand design, said Andy Walker, so moving into advertising seemed like the logical next step for me. Ive shied away from it for a while but the bug caught up with me. Once I seriously thought about it, Wieden+Kennedy was a natural fit, in terms of creative excellence, ambition, and caliber of clients. My background is design not advertising, so Im bringing a fresh approach to the Amsterdam team, extending the offering. DLKW's new work for Branston Pickle. Nice too!
