Guest comments for featured spot "The Rings Trilogy"

 GUEST COMMENTS    September 27, 2006 13:20 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2006/Sep/3544.jpg

A bit of background from the director, Sam Alessandri, Collective Energy:

The making of was done with cut out puppets an projected using a light and a flame source from the candles. It was shot on a very tight budget and our location was our production office.

The commercial is based on the product’s selling point that one candle burns for a duration of 9.5 hours. And as lack of access to electricity is still very much an issue in especially rural South Africa, the idea of telling a story using shadows by candlelight seemed particularly relevant. So using the light of just one candle you should be able to re-enact the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy with shadow puppets – (the 3 movies in reality actually run for a total duration that’s just 6 minutes shy of 9.5 hours.)

Only 6 scenes from the complete trilogy were selected in sequence to represent the 3 movies back to back. The commercial further plays on the absolutely universal appeal of the L.O.T.R. story but in a deliberately anti-SFX style.

A few words from Nick Worthington, CD Publicis Mojo New Zealand, & creative on the featured Greenpeace "Breathe" spot.

Most people think of the Amazon as the lungs of the planet, breathing in carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen, in fact half the oxygen we breath comes from the world’s oceans. Very few people know this. So Rey Carlson from Revolver films spent months travelling from the bottom to the top of the globe documenting the rise and fall of the oceans for this Publicis Mojo NZ ad for Greenpeace.

It’s Greenpeace’s Year of the Oceans and they’ve pledged to sign up a million Ocean Defenders by Feb 07, so if you like the ad please sing up at

http://oceans.greenpeace.org

You’ll be one of a million people calling for action to protect our oceans and the people that depend on them, you and me included.

Description
------------------------------------
The La Mesa Watershed is the only source of drinking water for the entire Metro Manila. Recently, 59 hectares of the area was awarded to a few thousand claimants working for the water company. Allowing them to take up residence in the reservoir would lead to the contamination of drinking water for more than 12 million Filipinos.

Creative Commentary
------------------------------------
There is not much concern for the safety of our drinking water. This series seeks to end the apathy and to get people to support the movement.

A bit of background from the director, Axel Laubscher:

The brief was along the lines of a story unfolding in reverse. We’ve all seen that before so the challenge was to bring something new to the table. So .... the actors were instructed and rehearsed to act backwards in front of the camera while the real world moves forwards. We hired dancers to do this - to get the best possible results. We even custom-built a bike especially for the reverse motion. Everything was done in camera, but to achieve the weird jerky look and the sense of speed, we dropped frames in the edit. All in all, a rather analogue effect.

There's heaps of reasons why the brewery shouldn't have approved Flashbeer:
"Don't you reckon the lead guy could be percieved as a homo? Where is the drinking moment? And the party that follows? Do you really think this is something our drinker would do? And where are his 2 mates? (one of which must be of mild ethnic persuasion remember. But not too much, we don't want him looking criminal...) "

They can analyse it all they want - it's just fucking funny and that's why it works. Well done to you fellas. You've done a sterling job on Carlton and good on you for showing your client there is more than one way to move piss. Respect.

Nothing really moved me this week print-wise, except for maybe the bus. It was okay as a one off, but it's not really your long term solution to shifting a lot of laundry powder is it? What happens after the first day and all the clothes are brown and dirty and smoggy? Still, it's a cool stunt and the pedestrians in the foreground liked it so there. Nice ad.

Guest comments for featured XBOX spot "Porok"

A bit of background from the creatives, K.M. Ayappa & Mahendra Bhatula, MTV India.

Porok is a sport played in certain parts of rural India. It is weird and wonderful because one has to adopt the stance of a fighter cock and head butt the opponent out of the circle. So we took this sport and blew it out of proportion to denote the power of gaming. The spot starts off as a serious documentary to enhance the reality of the whole thing.

Our village was constructed bang in the middle of Bombay, because we love this great city of ours and besides, there was no budget to go out. So if you notice a parked car or an electric cable, don't tell anyone.

The spoken tongue in the spot is absolute gibberish. We mixed most of the Indian languages up to get people guessing as to what the language was. The last line actually means "Porok afternoon cock horn, eunuch inside big bangle insect".

Guest comments from Dylan Harrison & Feargal Ballance, Creative Directors - Budweiser, DDB London:

The average day for a creative team involves getting into the mindset of a female driver, a pimply teenager or a mother of twelve preparing a Christmas dinner. So it’s a refreshing change to talk about the wonders of drinking beer. Let’s just say that we have some experience in the subject. And being guys, you know there are some joys common to all men: air guitar, match tricks, capes, helium jokes, stuff with big wheels... and the most important phone call of the week, when your mates call you for a beer. Everything else takes a back seat and nothing can stop you. It's time to answer the call.

We knew all those years drinking beer with our mates would one day come in handy.

AXE FISH

Although the good, bad, and the ugly promo was nicely done, the Axe spot stood out. A guy keeping fish alive in his sweaty pits is damn funny. This spot has everything stupidity, cheesy statues, empathy, product relevance, and the guy gets the girl.

WEEDS

A simple idea taken a lot further. Loved the track on the viral video and wanted to see even more footage of the thieves (is there a copy somewhere?). Really smart promo. Check it out if you missed it.
