bestad of the week TV

INPES - TOXIC CORP.

Shock and awe in a velvet glove. We are presented with something disturbing dressed up as the picture of innocence.
A wonderful bit of bait enhanced by the banal elevator music and happy facade covering up the dark secret.
This, if nothing else, this is trying to be brave.

SAN FRANCISCO ZOO - GIRAFFE BANNERS

The creatives seem to have found their freedom, unlike the giraffes.   I would expect a spate of animals made out of street furniture in the San Francisco area in the near future.  This is a good idea not just a good use of media.

Guest comments for featured BBC spot "The Sound of Music"

A few words from Ben Gregor, the director on the Greenpeace spot:

We shot it in Slovenia, the other (cheap) side of the mountain range they used for the film. The day before the shoot the was an electrical storm with massive hailstones and tents blowing down the mountain. It cleared overnight, thank f**k.

Guest comments for featured Greenpeace spot "Hand Job"

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2006-Jul/gasguzzler480.jpg

Some background from director Ben Sedley, Home Corp:

The spot was created with the help of professionals within the industry who are Greenpeace donors. 

The client wanted to get across the fact that 4x4's are unnecessarily large cars to drive in the city, and are incredibly bad for the environment due to the amount of petrol they use. In order to convey this idea in an attention grabbing way, we wanted to get under the skin of those drivers through suggesting to them the negative feeling an ever growing number of people have towards them. 

I thought the most important thing overall was that the finished film had the look and feel of a car commercial, not a Greenpeace commercial. I wanted to create a sense of intrigue as to why this guys colleagues dislike him so much - what has he done to deserve this kind of reaction? - possibly giving the impression they are all jealous of him because he's got such a cool car -  only to turn that on it's head in the final fames. 

It was shot in an empty office building in Surrey. We dressed the entire office space, built the kitchen and photocopy room, and even added the urinals to the toilets.

Guest Comments for featured HSBC spot "Scuba"

Some background from Simon Bullett & Ross Callow, JWT London, creatives on featured spot "Scuba":


THE MAKING OF HSBC 'SCUBA'

It's not often that you see two $130,000 cameras get wrecked inside an hour.

But it happened in South Africa on this HSBC spot.

We started shooting in a Cape Town swimming pool, and knew things were off to a bad start when half an hour into the shoot, the camera’s underwater casing leaked, ruining the camera, but luckily, not the film footage inside.

Onto the spare camera, and within twenty minutes it had happened again. Absolutely unheard of.

Luckily, after a very lengthy period of frantic phone calls, we found out that a BBC film crew had just finished making an underwater documentary in the area and kindly agreed to lend us their camera.

Needless to say, the shoot went on long into the night, and after another day of shooting up the coast at Sodwana Bay the next day, we’d thankfully shot everything we needed.

The commercial was shot by Steve Hudson through Outsider, who throughout the shoot, could be heard saying 'I'm never shooting underwater again….’.

Always good to keep an eye on what Strawberry Frog's up to.

From the director Maurice Marable:

When I got the script, it was just so different, the idea was haunting and powerful. The challenge was how to make the reflections seem believable and natural, and create emotions in an ordinary way. Everyone involved with the creation of the spot donated their services, but no one treated it like a donation. Nobody gave a half-hearted effort.

Some background from Bruce Anderson & Jenny Glover, Grey Worldwide Johannesburg, creatives on the featured Nokia Fashion week spot:

Nokia South Africa asked us to come up with an ad for their sponsorship of
Cape Town Fashion Week and Face of Africa. So we came up with a script and
client loved it. We briefed one of the country's top directors, Keith Rose
of Velocity Films. Together we work-shopped the script, hunted for locations
in the heart of Johannesburg, and cast characters off the street. We found
our main character working in an art gallery while doing a location recce.
The shoot itself was nuts. We charged around the city shooting in alleyways,
under bridges and dodging between taxis on main roads. Seventeen set-ups per
day, for two days. With no VT set-up or comfy chairs for agency. And then we
put the whole thing together using only the best people. Willie Saayman, a
brilliant and patient man, did the edit. A young musician from Cape Town,
Marcus Wormstorm did the music. And it was all good. We loved making it and
we hope you hope you enjoy watching it.

A few words from Thomas Hayo, BBH New York, Group Creative Director on the Levi's spot:

the spot was inspired by the massive popularity of cop-shows and their strange spell they put on the viewer.
while developing the script we were also very intrigued by the premise of having two main characters initially exist in two different realities and have those realities eventually clash.
we were obviously very excited about frank (budgen) wanting to be involved in the project. from the minute he got on, he worked with us on simplifying the story in order to tell it in as few shots as possible. we all wanted the set-up to feel completely real, to get the viewer intrigued in the first place as well as highten the surprise effect in the end.

A bit of background from Mark Koelfgen, mcgarrybowen, CD & copywriter on the featured spot for Brahma beer.

Brahma skews toward a slightly more creative audience. People who see creativity as tool to modify their lives in interesting ways. "Improvise" was an idea that seemed to resonate in every language. Our job was to find simple, wordless ways to get that idea out there. Using the backdrop of Brazil to give Brahma a clear point of origin.

bestad of the week TV

So, for the films I hesitated a lot between "the balls" and "Happiness Factory" ... for cok(e) .
As with women's breast ads, so it's cool to know that we can have the same problems, and that we can solve them. Coke is not a new idea, but so well executed ( it makes me think about the animation film "robots"), and so while it's new for Coke, it's not so new in onirism ( honda did it some years ago and everybody , with money, does the same). Really Good film, but I prefer the Balls. Best film: the balls.

A bit of background from Ezra Burke, Notorious:

In the spot, a city plays frisbee together as a metaphor for the many ways that Cell C connects people.  This is a concept we've seen done well many times before by the likes of Frank Budgen, Jake Scott and Kevin Thomas.  Yet the agency turned to Notorious director Adam Stevens to deliver a fresh, stylish twist resulting in a playful, groovy vibe that gives a nod to the genre films of the late 60s and early seventies.  The spot came together in an unexpected way with the agency being in Johannesburg, Notorious 24:7 in Santa Monica and Adam Stevens based in Auckland, New Zealand.  Professional frisbee players were imported into South Africa from France, stuntmen in from Russia and a bunch of frisbees from Irvine, California.  The spot is 99% in-camera and a good deal of the talent were cast right off the streets of Johannesburg.

Weellll, let's see...the brief was to dramatise the importance of a reliable mobile network...so we just wrote lists of messages you would never, ever want to miss. The ad was shot in a studio over 2 days (great set design/lighting).We filmed 6 scenarios, but only used the 4. The music is from the Michel Gondry film, 'Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind' and sourced by Pete Raeburn. The ad is cinema only at the moment, but might run tv later in the year.

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2006-Jul/lewsey_vs_crouch.jpg

A few words from Matt Hollis, producer, Cattleprods:

The premise of this campaign is an existing world cup winner giving training tips to a prospective world cup winner. Josh Lewsey was part of the English rugby world cup winning team of 2003, and Peter Crouch was part of the English football team for the 2006 Fifa world cup.

I have to admit to having a few butterflies before the shoot as it was so close to the world cup. We had just shot a spot for Coca cola with Wayne Rooney. That was pre-metatarsal, now we were post metatarsal and I was planning to push and pull one of our few remaining strikers around on a skateboard, whilst dangling a camera 30ft over his head. In fact it was the very day that Pete was to be officially named in the squad. In the end everything went to plan and we had a great laugh shooting this. And I have to say both Josh and Pete were really good sports, especially as it rained on them for most of the shoot.

Guest comments for featured spot "Delivery Trouble"

... a few words from Kirk Gainsford & Alistair Morgan, Lowe Bull, South Africa, creatives on "Delivery trouble":

The commercial was made for flighting during the 2006 FIFA World Cup. While other commercials on at this time showed famous footballers and crowded stadiums, we decided to do something without any footballers, balls or crowds.

and from the director, Hylton Tannenbaum, Bioscope Films:

Scripts like this don’t come around very often. What I admire most about the concept is that although its for a sports drink, you never actually see a football match or a player – you only see the extreme consequence of their Powerade-induced match. I really enjoyed working on something that required a greater degree of subtlety in performance and story telling.

The ad is made to look like it is set in Germany and was shot in Cape Town whereby Athlone Stadium doubled up for “Any Stadium, Germany”. The commercial features an all South African, yet German speaking cast.

Found the technique in the crouch vs Lewesy very engaging, but must favour
the orange Segal spot. Great evolution of the first campaign. Much better in
fact. More space to exploit the celebrities used, even like Steve's acting
for a change. Mr Dresden gets better and better. Understand it was expensive
due to cast member but could have pushed the action/explosion side even
more.

Like the dynajets idea but it's lowe so I'll pass. Do like the skate stuff especially the use of the multiple image usually found in skate and board mags. Love the logo and type treatment. Never mind drivers, not all creative directors can see the funky patterns in the road safety ads.
Some good work but no mind blowing ideas.
