More great work from Santo Buenos Aires.


"My left eye"

With the arrival of the ninth Independent Film Festival of Buenos Aires, Argentina's leading newspaper Clarin and Santo devised an event within the event, known as 'Project 155'. Being the main sponsor of the Festival, Clarin was searching for a sponsorship TV and cinema spot, and the final outcome proposed by Santo was a cultural piece which the festival authorities deemed worthy of incorporating into the official program because of its artistic value.

Santo wrote a script entitled 'My left eye' which celebrates the unique, independent vision (the heart and soul of independent film) and gave that very same script to five different independent directors. The script was tight enough to provide a framework but allowed for personal vision and interpretation. Length, voiceover and scene criteria were the only restrictions.

The result, five short films with different tones of voice, aesthetics, and characters to tell the exact same story.
The directors involved were argentines Ariel Winograd, Cayetana Vidal, Nicólas Parodi and Plástico and mexican Rodrigo Garcia Saiz, all of whom were chosen because of their varied profiles and backgrounds.
The script was previously published by newspaper Clarin. And the 8 minute-long project was screened to audience acclaim during the festival.
Based on the cultural contribution and positive feedback, Clarin has decided to make this idea an annual classic (each year with a different script and different directors).

from director Tim Godsall:

Working with real Shaolin monks was a unique and excellent experience. These guys actually grew up in the monastery depicted in the old Kung Fu TV series. They taught me how to kill a man with a rotation of my finger tip, and I taught them not to look in the middle of the lens halfway through each take.

Guest comments for the featured Sony spot "Kiss".

 GUEST COMMENTS   AUSTRALIA    April 26, 2007 07:18 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2007/Apr/6077_kiss_master.jpg



Some background from the director, Garth Davis.



Kiss" is an idea that pulls the viewer in two directions. The first is it's emotional truth; we witness the tenderness and innocence of a very young couple's kiss ... but as we continue to observe this intimate and memorable moment, the young girl ages, and suddenly we are faced with a most challenging image ... the young girl has aged into an old woman, but the passion, tenderness and emotion of the kiss is unchanged, as is the boy.

She looks at him as she did as a young girl, and the boy innocently stares back at her ... this moment a kind of strange, lucid memory, that so strongly connects to the payoff; so clear, the memory never fades. It is bold, fresh, beautiful and such a solid idea that connects to real emotion in the leading design of Sony.

My biggest challenge was ensuring this kiss was real, innocent and tender. I couldn't allow the fx to dictate our approach, so every step of the way we made decisions based on protecting the performance of this moment.

From the creatives, Adam Thompson & Dan Glover-James, Publicis UK.

A young man has set up some speakers somewhere in the belly of the city, (shot in the wine cellars of the Argentinian President), so he can amplify a piece of music through its network of pipes and tunnels.

We chose "La Wally" because it was powerful and would sound different in the various environments. It needed to be able to interrupt people, so that their reactions would be realistic and they wouldnât just look dumbstruck.

a few words from the creative team - Mickael Zonnenberg & Joseph Dubruque.

Love has its cliche's. The most famous ones come from the movies. They convey the strongest love feelings : fast and loud heartbeat, time slowing down, life turning into a symphony... The idea is to make all these cliche's come to reality in order to show the intensity being in love. The resulting situations are absurd and love the only explanation for them : "Love is all".

Many people in 'first world' countries don't know what it really means to be a refugee. Therefore, they don't donate. By creating and distributing mock eviction notices to homes in up-scale neighborhoods we brought the plight of refugees closer to home and presented the issue in a way that people living in 'first world' countries could relate to. This approach allowed us to educate, raise awareness and drive donations all at the same time.

New Yaris spot from tokyoplastic & Burrell Communications

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2007/Apr/6128_Bombdabass_speakers.jpg


Description
------------------------------------
Picasso Pictures and award winning directing team, tokyoplastic, continue their highly successful collaboration with Toyota in the form of this new animated US TV spots for the Yaris. This outstanding commercial was produced alongside the creative talents of US multicultural agency, Burrell Communications. Building on the 2006 campaign (created in partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi LA) this new spot, designed to appeal more directly to the African American market, exposes a more urban side to the Yaris' mischievously lovable character.

Bomb Da Bass" emphasises the Yaris' MP3 compatibility by paying homage to the classic breakdance standoff. Each Yaris serves a maxed out beat and blasts the other with its supersonic vibration. As the phat sounds pump out, their speakers grow to radical proportions. Eventually the bass reaches such intensity that the super-sized speakers can take no more and break free. We see them transformation into strange robotic speaker creatures which scuttle and lumber away to safety.

Creative Commentary
------------------------------------
tokyoplastic commented: "Both the agencies we've worked with on the Toyota campaign, Saatchi's LA and Burrell, have demonstrated great enthusiasm and creative vision, and we certainly feel that Toyota has supported all of us in the creation of some really cutting edge work. These most recent spots (produced with Burrell) are some of the most exciting work we've ever produced. Looking back on the creative process it is easy to see why; from the outset both Toyota and Burrell demonstrated a confidence in their ideas, their product and our work, enabling us the space and creative freedom to produce some great work."
