D&AD Global Awards 2006. Obsessives Only. Guest comments for featured spot "Haunted" From Nigel Dawson, CD / copywriter on this one from Grey Melbourne This is the 110th TAC commercial made by Grey. It gets increasingly hard to find a new message and an idea that matches or betters the standard set by the previous 109. The idea had a gestation period of a year or more. It survived, indeed sailed through, several rounds of research. Regular drink-drivers were slugged in the guts; after all many of them have kids of their own. As one bloke said damned bloody effective. Another all-important, but covert, message also comes through. It is making people think that perhaps they shouldnt drink at all if they are going to drive. Mat Humphrey did a wonderful job of turning a disturbing script into a truly haunting commercial. We were blessed by the casting Nick Hamon found a wonderful actor (who is now bald!) to play the driver, and a young boy as the victim a lad who could hold his beguiling stare, standing stock still, without blinking for long, long takes. Heather Ross and Nik Dorning did an absolutely extraordinary make-up job on Chris the driver, aging him from 23 to 63 over the three days of shooting. The prosthetics were invisible from even two feet away. And DOP Chris Reed and the old firm Melbourne crew contrived a look that starts to chill the viewer from the first frame. It probably sounds a bit precious, but everybody seemed to know we were making something a tad special as the shoot unfolded. The wrap was quite emotional, with much regret that it was all over! Then it was over to the sound guys to turn eerie into haunting. Wed intended to make a 60 second commercial. But the 2 minute cut was so powerful that Paula Vigorelli and John Thompson at TAC immediately rebriefed Optimedia. Their job became a little easier when FreeTV gave it a PG rating. And it went to air in Victoria last Sunday in 120, 60 and 30 second versions. New Viral from Sputnik The Big Kitty ... a few words from the creatives: I love it when a client approves something that scares them. That's what's so good about viral it can get through without the intense scrutiny and psychoanalysis that often stultifies good ideas in mainstream. Sure, there's not always a budget or real actors or even catering but there's an idea. Big Kitty is one of those executions that ate the budget the moment we called the pre-production meeting, but everyone just chipped in for the idea and the chance to make something a little less formulaic. Writers, art directors, accounts, suppliers, directors, and freelancers worked together to build sets, cast kittens, act badly and make a real life kitten into something much larger. The viral budgets will get there and probably so too will the scrutiny, but in the meantime we aim to have some fun Sputnik Agency. & you can see the kitty at ...... http://www.thebigkitty.com.au To view the spot click ....

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." Back to basics. Back to basics By Dominic Goldman, VP Creative Director at Publicis & Hal Riney in San Francisco Back in the days I can remember back in the 90s, how impressed people were with anything that moved on their computer screens. If it looked cool and did something slick with any new kind of effect, jaws started dropping. Visiting New York back then for the Flash Film Festival, I was completely taken aback by the leaders in the Interactive field. Ill never forget seeing Joshua Davis http://www.joshuadavis.com/and Yugo Nakamura http://www.yugop.com/.Their work made an entire audience of two thousand people react in the same way waaaaaaaaa. I could not have been more inspired. What happened to the idea? I soon became unimpressed and disillusioned. Something more was needed. Behind all the flashy special effects, where was the idea? This became key to all of my future work. Interacting with consumers in an intelligent way by making the communication interesting, entertaining and noticeable without being gimmicky. Consumers are bombarded with advertising from all channels on and offline and have learnt to switch off to it. So how do we get under their radar? Ive heard many people say, I hate those annoying banner ads when Im surfing the web. I agree. But just like watching TV, listening to the radio or reading a magazine, most advertising is irritating. Yet on that rare occasion Im oblivious to the fact Im being sold something, Im delighted. This is the challenge on-line too. Unlike traditional channels, on-line provides a canvas to allow people to respond and interact with an idea. People are surfing the web with a purpose and if youre going to interrupt them with an ad, it had better be good, It needs to be relevant to people, and can offer something consumers want or solve a problem they have. If it fails to do this, then it doesnt matter how well executed it is, if its not important to anyone then its useless. Highlighting the best Fortunately today, Interactive Awards, particularly the OneShow http://www.oneclub.com/oneshow are filled with great examples of work founded on big ideas. Polished execution is now a given. Every element has its purpose and relates back to the core idea. If its unnecessary, take it out. Big ideas dont need slick effects. The simplest things now excite me. Take for example, a banner for Lipton Ice Tea light, from JWT Brazil: http://www.jwt.com.br/Awards_2005/belly/en/ These next two banners are by TBWA, also from Brazil. The first cleverly demonstrates the benefits of using Fedex: http://www.loveyourmouse.com/awards/cannes/justintime.html While the second is a nice and simple way to show what treat your dog wants: http://www.tbwa.com.br/2005/awards/smell.html This piece from Japan is a very unusual approach to educating people about the dangers of children not wearing a safety belt when traveling in a car. The Pitch - http://www.interactive-salaryman.com/2004pieces/d0306E/ A banner from Ogilvy London makes use of the fact that dynamic data lies at the heart of IBM's e-business solution. A live data feed from Wimbledon delivered up-to-the-minute match results, statistics and news. http://www.creative-awards.co.uk/ibmwimbledon/ Yet another from Brazil features demonstrates the benefit of using Tam Express: http://www.dm9ddb.com.br/awards/oneshow/testimonial.html The following selection of banners, are some of the work Ive done: The Economist This banner is a little more unusual and in keeping with The Economist brand. If people blow hard on their computer screen The Competition gets blown away. This wont function on all machines. Its targeted at traveling executives and for this reason the code has been optimized to work best with inbuilt microphones. The Economist realized that this would be a small target audience, but they did benefit from some good PR. http://www.dominicgoldman.com/html/OM/Banners/The%20Economist%20Banners/blow/main.html Levis To demonstrate the effect life would have on a pair of jeans, users can throw elements of life straight on to a pair of Levis. http://www.dominicgoldman.com/html/OM/Banners/Levis%20Lived%20In%20Throw/livedin_banner.html Levis To showcase the four finishes of the re-cut 501® jeans we put them in the wash. Viewers select buttons on the machine to check out the entire range. http://www.dominicgoldman.com/html/OM/Banners/Levi_banners/washing_machine.html Gaelic Inns To promote an Irish pub, we used a pre-loading sequence as a familiar online device, and linked it to a pint of the black stuff. http://www.dominicgoldman.com/html/OM/Banners/Guinnes/loading/index.html Harley Davidson Owners Group Harley owners love any excuse for a ride. As members of Harley Owners Group (HOG) Singapore chapter, they receive regular invites to rides and other Harley related events. http://www.dominicgoldman.com/html/OM/Banners/Hog_rev/index.html The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Unwanted pets are abandoned all the time in Singapore, and those that are not adopted are usually destroyed. This should be an issue that arouses strong feelings amongst the public. Unfortunately it doesnt, probably because most people have the attitude of: Yes its a shame this is going on, but surely someone else will take care of it. That was the starting point for our concept; we wanted to play up the fact that people would much rather shut out the problem than give it serious thought. However we soon realized that creating a standard banner that simply asked people not to ignore the problem would be a non-starter. So we thought it might be better to develop banners that werent so easy to shut off. We realized that this would entail a delicate balance of being intrusive but not annoying. http://www.dominicgoldman.com/html/OM/Banners/SPCA/index.html A second banner for the same cause addresses the other major issue of dumping animals. People can navigate through various solutions and even download a PDF to make it easy to donate their money. http://www.dominicgoldman.com/html/OM/Banners/SPCA/trashed/index.html Presenting the idea Where possible I prefer to present ideas as pencil drawn sketches. This is to avoid the client getting caught up with irrelevant issues such as the size of their logo or a particular font. All they see is the idea. This also gives more time to spend on the concept. These days, I believe an interactive creative person is far more valuable if theyre strong conceptually rather than simply making things look good. After all, were in the communication business, just like our colleagues in traditional advertising.

HERE Cannes launches Promo Lions The Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival has announced a number of changes for next years festival. A new category, Promo Lions, has been created awarding creative excellence in the areas of sales promotion, including retail marketing, environmental design, in-store advertising and media. The new Promo Lions jury will judge entries designed to create immediate activation and will award Lions to the freshest creative ideas. For the first time, outdoor will run separate to press. A separate outdoor jury president will head a dedicated jury voting solely on entries in the Outdoor section. The Cannes organising committee said this will allow for a clearer judging of the entries based on the merit of their medium without being influenced by how they perform if also entered in the press competition. A separate jury president will preside over both the film and press sections. A new award, Media Agency of the Year, will be presented to the agency that obtains the highest score for entries in the Media Lions section. As with Agency of the Year, Direct Agency of the Year and Interactive Agency of the Year awards, the calculation will be based on all of the awards won by an agency, but will include a maximum of 10 points for shortlisted entries. Gold, silver and bronze Lions will be awarded in the Media Lions competition due to increased interest in the category - since its introduction in 1999, entries have risen from 421 to 1076 in 2005. Two new categories in film, print and outdoor are included in the 2006 festival, to run from 18-24 June 2006. Household separates into Household Cleaning (ie: washing powder, bleach) and Household Other (ie: glue, batteries, etc.). Toiletries & Pharmaceuticals will now be separated into Toiletries and Over the Counter Pharmacy. Ten half-day workshops will also be introduced next year, each accommodating 75 to 100 delegates. A Young Creatives Film Competition will be added to complement the Young Creative Print and Cyber competitions. The competing teams will be required to create a 30-second mobile phone ad in 72 hours for a charity or non-profitable organisation, whose name, objective, strategies and target audience remain secret until disclosed at the briefing session. Story supplied by AUSTRALIAN CREATIVE. "Pace of Life" ... a bit of background TBWA LONDON'S NEW PLAYSTATION CAMPAIGN 'PACE OF LIFE' The 60" commercial, airing in November in Europe and early next year in the UK, uses a unique stop frame animation technique to demonstrate the different paces that people live their lives. The stand-out ad features a central character on a trip to the shops for some milk. He exists in a world where people live at different paces, just as on PlayStation. Directed by Nick Gordon, the stop frame animation was achieved through a painstaking process using a camera rather than post-production. Each frame is a digital still photo which required a still to be taken before the actor would move between 2 and 12cm's, stop, be completely still, try and maintain the same facial expression and stature as the previous still, before another was taken and so on. In order to make each characters movement reflect their personality, their route was chalked on the pavement. More Barclays Bank / BBH London work The new Barclays bank adverts ....

At the end of the day ... HL: DONT ASK ME. IM NOT EVEN SURE HOW THE REMOTE WORKS  A tale worth telling! From Ogilvy Johannesburg & director Lourens Van Rensburg The commercial tells the tale of young Jack Michaelson, a cute little white boy who begins his music career as a member of the Michaelson Five, but breaks away to launch a solo career featuring multiple-platinum albums "Chiller" and "Good". But as the tale progresses, and young Jack becomes more famous, his skin takes on a darker tone. And as his skin darkens, so his character becomes hipper, cooler - more black. "The reverse tale perfectly captures Channel O's proposition of 'Get Back to Black'," says creative director on the project Fran Luckin. "Channel O is very much a channel that advocates getting back to your roots, and this commercial illustrates that in a memorable and entertaining manner," she adds. The commercial was directed by Lourens van Rensburg of Fresh Water Films in the style of an E! Entertainment special, complete with bimbo announcer and bad graphics.

(fellow Creative Director) Sean Davison and I talked to a lot of people, a lot of serious people with good ideas, said Freir. But every conversation ended with Well, it would be nice to go CGI, but then youre looking at big drop off in realism and who really wants to see a CGI car? Enter SWAY... Not only could they deliver photo-realistic quality vehicles but they could also pull off true-to-nature driving characteristics on everything from cage roll to braking.

Myrna Davis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Young Guns Online registration for the Young Guns 5 competition will open on December 1st. In the meantime, we asked and they answered. Below are some thoughts from Young Guns 4 winners. Stefan Boucher writes ... "I remember how excited I was when I found out that I got chosen as a Young Gun. One of the best creatives age 30 and under in the whole damn world?! Now that's bragging rights. And a swift kick in the ass, too: Time to get serious! Time to pull out all the stops and see what's possible. Being named a Young Gun isn't the end of the race, it's the sound of the starter pistol. Who wants to peak at 30? Julia Hoffman reports ... that since winning YG4, she has designed the bestseller "America The Book," with Jon Stewart, which took a full 5 months of her life. She continues to freelance. In addition, her website had 1200 hits in the month of the young guns opening, September 2004. Julia writes, "Suddenly I got emails from all over the world, and a chinese magazine published an article on me. Freelance clients started to have more respect for me, and I could ask for more money. Personally it may change my life drastically, my lawyer said it will benefit me a lot in the greencard application that I am starting to go through right now. Some advice to people who are only out of school for a year or two (as she was then): "Wait for the next Young Guns to submit your work, if you can. You should be really proud of the work you submit, because that's what the people will know you for, that's the first impression in the real world."  Injecting some glamour into the branding of the channels annual jungle-fest Studio aka Director Grant Orchard and team have given Aussie bugs the full drag queen makeover as they shimmy in time to the disco hit I Will Survive.

He shows the viewer how to execute the spell and, while he is doing that, a huge dragon escapes from the spell book and rampages around Dumbledores office setting light to papers and knocking things over. Dumbledore captures him and returns him to the spell book. The spot concludes with Dumbledore addressing the student (viewer) and saying, Never mind, Im sure youll soon Master the Magic. Creative Directors Don Shelford + Joe de Souza Art Director Sezay Altinok Copywriter Joe de Souza Account team Jill Ervine + Anna Blank Producer Annabelle Meyer Production company Paranoid Projects, Paris Director Sam Tourneux Producer Astrid Serafini guest comments for featured spot "Thirst Fighters" From Josh Frizzell, director, Curious Film: This job was a joy to work on. It was meant to look like a low budget earnest local mini DV doco, so we shot it on mini DV which was incredibly liberating. We shot the hell out of it, ad libbing the actors and trying all sorts of gags. There were times when the whole crew were giggling like schoolgirls. Of course the harsh reality of sixty seconds (and clients) meant the end result was very close to the original board, but we had a lot of fun getting there and I feel the tonality and mood of the shoot is all there on screen. Watch out for the four-minute version with everything in it! Agency v Agency
