More info from Mother: Everyone remembers the PG Tips' chimps adverts they were some of the most popular of all time, starting in 1956 and running for almost 50 years In fact, the PG Tips chimps made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the longest running ad campaign ever. Favourites include Mr Shifter ('Do you know the piano's on my toe, dad?') and the Tour de France ('Avez vous un cuppa?'). However, the chimps retired in 2002 and now live in Wycross zoo in Leicestershire. This January, PG Tips will launch a series of four new adverts made by Mother to bring some of that Monkey Magic back to our screens - starring the comedian, Johnny Vegas as Al, and his quick-witted woolen sidekick, Monkey (voiced by Ben Miller). Al and Monkey will be bringing a little simian sparkle to PG Tips this year. The iconic comedy duo is set to have TVs biggest comeback since Noel Edmunds. You can see Monkey and Als reunion on www.pgtips.co.uk or watch ITV on Monday 8th January.

Click here to view this spot M&C London, shooting for a Scottish bank in New Zealand![]() Some background from the post guys: The sheep were shot on a three-day shoot in Wellington, New Zealand. Sheep are hardly known for their ability to cooperate well, so extensive post production was required to get the sheep into the desired positions: almost every shot that contains more than one sheep has been achieved through compositing multiple passes. For example, the shot where the sheep exit the left-hand side elevator, but enter on right-hand side was not possible to shoot for real as the sheep would just follow each other, making two different travelling directions an impossibility. So the scene was created by shooting a split-screen: in the first shot the sheep were directed into the lift, in the second they were directed out of the lift. The two passes were then seamlessly combined in Flame by Absolutes Ben Robards, who was also on hand to supervise the shoot (and make friends with the sheep). The most complex shot within the spot is where a big group of sheep is entering Wellington train station through several doors. This shot comprises seven passes left to right to create a frame full of sheep. The shiny floor created an additional issue: shadows and reflections in each pass fall across neighbouring passes so these had to be separately combined to accurately create this complex light interaction. In addition, each of the passes was shot at different times of the morning, so Ben had to include yet more plates to create the illusion of a consistent exterior. Ben also used Flame to highlight the hero breakaway sheep with some subtle light rays and front/back frame defocusing. Ben spent a lot of time filling gaps by compositing in additional sheep on one occasion he had to use the same sheep twice (Margot his favourite of the bunch), but he disguised the duplication by grading her face black in the second instance. Ben found that the usual clean up work, such as painting out barriers, carried an extra dimension in this particular spot he had to paint out all the sheep poo from when they panicked on set. Baaaa.

BBH Launch Baileys Digital Campaign Baileys are launching a new short film around the stars of the Baileys TV advertising campaign - LA based couple Lewis, Kelly and their friends who were first introduced in the Baileys Served Chilled campaign in October 2005. The film, which is the first episode of an online series directed by renowned LA director Paul Hunter, will launch on the 20th December on www.lewisandkelly.com and will be supported by online advertising. Baileys advertising has consistently focussed on the brands connections with good friends and loved ones. The Serve Chilled campaign shows just how much fun it is to chill together with Baileys at any time of the year. The series of films are designed to deepen familiarity and popularity of the Baileys gang through opening up the age old debate of the differences between men and women. Lewis, Kelly and their friends will be starring in the series which will also run on several content sites, including YouTube. There is then a bespoke website developed in collaboration with Agency Republic, which has been produced specifically for the characters where consumers can get to know all of them a bit better www.

Click here to view this spot New Nike Italy work fro W+K Amsterdam.![]() Here's the Nike TV work that goes along with the print we're featuring on the main print page. From the agency: Our inspiration for this animation was Carosello the only TV advertising segment on Italian national television for more than 20 years (from 1954 to 1976). It was a very popular show that run every night and it was made of 6 or 7 ads. These ads were simple, happy character-based stories or animations, many of them incorporating simple jingles. In order to properly nail the style of the piece we decided to work with local resources: Italian illustrators, Italian animators and an Italian composer. The illustrator (and director) is Mauro Gatti the same artist who designed the Coppa Cannavaro poster and the Pere Iaquinta poster. The production company he worked with is Happycentro. The relentless producer is Giuliano Garonzi (same person who produced the print and the posters). The animation company is Molti Media, based in Bergamo. They pulled together this animation project in record time. Music is by the Italian legend Franco Godi. Hes the man behind many famous advertising jingles (from Carosello), cartoon and TV themes. He has also produced for a number of leading Italian artists. The jingle is sung by a chorus of Italian children.
