Nokia 6288 Follow The Light

Some background from Steve McCabe, Deputy Creative Director, Y&R Auckland.






Bringing this script to life was easy. We got Darryl Ward to shoot it.

Having a director make it look simple (when it clearly isnt) is of course what we all hope for. Darryls photographic eye combined with his great technical knowledge made him the perfect choice for this script.

A certain amount of post-production was always going to be needed, but the plan was to get as much in camera as possible. A great location was crucial too, and there arent too many old mansions in New Zealand.

All that was needed then was an interesting collection of beautiful shiny objects, some fantastic art direction and a way of controlling the sun (a big light on a crane.)

Fortunately this all came together on the day and it only took one (very long) day of special effects at Fin Design in Sydney to complete the magic. Of course, not content with merely being director and DOP Darryl also produced the music with a muso mate. And all on an incredibly tight budget, even by New Zealand standards. Easy.

... and from the director, Darryl Ward:


Due to time constraints, lack of cents & some common sense it was
pretty clear from the outset that we would need to work very quickly & embellish the light flares in post to assist the story telling
& fortunately Fin design were really, really accommodating.

I had a great location in mind but it was not available so we ended
up at this guest house where Keith Richards had recuperated after his recent fall & brain surgery, it is normally full to the brim,
cluttered with all sorts of furniture & the walls are plastered with
'interesting' art, i dont know why anyone with a sore head would go
there. But we emptied a room did a quick re-dress & pushed the button.

It was a nice open brief & it all happened so fast, but I
think it worked out Ok & I appreciate the agency trusting me from the outset when i said it would make more sense in the online.

This was a live ambient stunt for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, to help raise money and awareness for research.

We built a mini research laboratory, with a coin slot in the front. Inside a real scientist sat slumped and motionless. When people made donations he would sit upright and conduct science experiments until he felt the money had run out.

The words, 'Without your donation, research will stop' were clearly printed on the front of the box.

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2007/Feb/5051_Sneaux.jpg


A few words from the Luca Grelli, Creative Director, MFP New York, one of the creators of the featured spot "Human Skateboard".


I wanted to work with PES since I first saw his work on eatpes.com and this Sneaux project was the perfect occasion to work together. Not only because he’s the master of stop motion animation, but also because the script and the idea were different from anything he’s done before so when I sent him the script (a paragraph, actually) I was really hoping that the project would excite him. And it did, big time.

There is something inherently hypnotic about any highly entertaining stop motion piece: you just can’t stop watching it, over and over, frame by frame, to discover the tiniest detail (have you noticed how the lens flare moves in stop motion during the 360?). Which is what people are doing right now on youtube or on Pes’ site with this Human skateboard video. And really, there is nothing better that a brand could ask for. Another reason this is happening is that it doesn’t look or feel like an ad. Despite being 30 sec long like a traditional commercial, Human skateboard is actually a piece of branded content and that’s how people online rightly perceive it.

These two books, boys and girls and true or false, have been produced for NHS trusts in Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire. The books have been conceived to pastiche the classic "Ladybird" titles of the 50s and 60s, juxtaposing the innocence of the originals with sexual content and West-of-Scotland dialect.

Our brief was to create material to stimulate discussion and consideration of sexual issues amongst kids aged around 12-16. The books will be distributed through youth groups and individual youth workers, and focus on issues like peer pressure, bullying, boasting and lying where they relate to sexual matters.

Guest Comments for featured spot "Dress For it"

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2007/Feb/4973_HONDA_DRAFTFCB.jpg



Some background from Scott Lambert, Creative Director, Draftfcb ... one of the creaives on the featured spot "Dress for it":

The idea was simple.
A guy walks out of a building wearing a suit.
As he walks down the street, he changes clothes from a suit to a casual outfit, then a tuxedo, and finally into beachwear. Each outfit represents a part of the guy’s varied life, and, ultimately, the flexibility of the new CR-V.

The challenge was, “How the fuck are we going to do that?”

Enter Patrick Hughes from @Radical along with the talented team from Animal Logic and one incredible steady-cam operator.

After a gruelling month of tests and rehearsals, we were ready to go. A cast of 80 extras joined us for two long days in downtown Melbourne. The shoot went without a hitch, with a great result from the exceptionally talented (and non-too ugly) actor. The final imagery is something truly special. The guys at Level Two supplied us with a number of great tracks for the spot which made our final choice very difficult. After hours of repeat viewing, we all agreed that the sexy “Le Disco” by Shiny Toy Guns was the winner.

We are all thrilled with the spot. It rocks.

A few words from Faustin Claverie, Agence.V./DDB, and art director on this spot.


When you are 30 and single, being a father looks like a nightmare. That's why we were very involved in this project.

We thought that building a kind of "ghost train roller coster" was the funniest way to express all our fears.

Let's forget the Volkswagen real life tone and imagine the scariest attraction ever (for us)!

Some bakground from Jennie Morris, Group CD, Impact BBDO, United Arab Emirates.


The ad is the ultimate battle between stop and go. It is the new regional spot for Snickers in the Middle east where the positioning is “Don’t Stop”

We made the spot in Amsterdam through a great post company called Valkeiser Capitol Images. Our director was Joeri Holsheimer and Porducer Soren Schmidt. They were a great team and spending a few weeks in Amsterdam wasn’t half bad either!

It was very important to me that the red and green men seem totally real. So the ad was created with the use of motion capture. Joeri had five chinese martial artists who performed over 500 moves.

The live action was all shot in Jeddha Saudi Arabia. I was not permitted to attend the shoot by the Saudi government who refused to give me a visa (Wrong sex and religion). It was shot on 35mm hand held and the Amsterdam guys faced many hurdles while shooting including a camera assistant who had never used 35 mm and Joeri getting arrested by Saudi police for taking a stills picture of his own shoot!

The music is a local hip hop act from Kuwait.
