 Some background from Stylewar, the directors on the Santo spot "Birdman": bestads:So where did this idea come from? Was it pretty much as per the scripts from the agency? Stylewar: The basic idea was in the script from Santo, and our interpretation of it seemed to fit their vision. We added different characters and worked a lot with the looks of them. bestads: What was your input / treatment? Stylewar: As mentioned above we had a lot of different ideas about designs and ideas of how the guy should look like. And he became very similar to our sketches in the treatment. We didn't want to create a monster but a VERY different and sympathic looking character. we also worked on options for the characters he should meet on his stroll. We then filtered them down together with Santo for the perfect fusion. the realistic quite raw locations was something the agency liked very much! bestads: The shoot ... how did that go? Stylewar: We wanted to get much to play with in the edit so it was a tight schedule but it ran smooth and we got everything so that was great. we filmed a great old violinbumguy with a priceless look that had to make room for other shots finally. That was a bit sad but we knew we had to make a few choices like this in the edit. bestads: Do you think this work is typical of your style? Stylewar: Yes, we love the idea, it has a visual twist and humour, but it's not often a client let ideas like this walk through the whole process and come out alive. bestads: How were the guys at Santo? Stylewar: they were great, Santo was always up for a fight helping us keeping absurd features in the final spot, especially in the main character's last stage. bestads: Did the main talent know how he'd look at the end of the commercial? (He may have trouble with the ladies from here on.) Stylewar: He was actually enjoying messing around with his new looks, flirting with girls with his beak in cape town.

 A bit of background from the director, Simon Ratigan: What was always going to make this job difficult was over a few days, trying to cheat the transformation of a city from sunlight to cloud. The choices were either to shoot where we might find clouds and thunder, or shoot with a clear blue sky. The unpredictability of the weather meant we couldnt wait for it to happen for real, but with exceptionally good luck we actually had the sun and real clouds rolling over the city during two of the days, so this film is exactly what it is, no special effects just a combination of clever cinematography by Bob Pendar-Hughes and great Post by The Mill.

 a few words from the creatives: Each evening, after getting off the train, Ozzy felt like someone was following him home as he walked through the Cross. One night he confronted this suspicion; "Who are you and why are you following me?" An invisible man wearing a top hat and tails stepped out from behind a tree and told Ozzy something he has never repeated. This ad is a part of that story. and from the director, Spencer Susser: My goal was to create something that felt loose and captured, without the visual effect getting in the way. and from the post house: The director, Spencer Susser, wanted Johnnie's journey to always maintain the interest and energy you would expect from a walk through Kings Cross, Sydney's red-light district. Johnnie's journey had to be convincing so the decision was made to shoot hand-held with minimal lighting rigs. This ensured that the natural momentum and movement of someone walking would never be restricted. From the onset of the job we knew it would be labour intensive. While the 2D team were busy removing any trace of skin and hair from the plates the 3D crew were tracking and creating replacement clothing and accessories. The end result, an eclectic walk on the wild side. A lot of hard work but a lot of fun to be part of.

 A bit of background from the director, Axel Laubscher: Fleurop was shot hand-hold during two very cold days in the deepest Swedish forrest. On day two we got hit by a blizzard and the entire area was covered in snow. Perfect continuity! The letters are made of styrofoam and worn by children. In post we removed their upper bodies and patched up the holes in 3D. The children were very cold during the shoot, but that's film. The idea was do get a documentary style feeling. Men hunting in the wild forrest, sort of. Go to the main page or Click here to view this spot Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney's new work for Foxtel Amusing stuff from Saatchis Sydney & Goodoil Films.

 A few words from the creatives, Anne Fleming & Nicole Sykes, Chemistry, Ireland. Bringing a sound-effect to life was no easy job, but Julian Grey and Steve Angel at Headgear Animation in Canada did it brilliantly. Those Canadians are also darn nice. The sound-engineering and voice-over recording was done by the very talented Simon Flanagan in Dublin. This ad is part of a campaign that features the job histories of Beep, Creak, Bing, and Tick but we have to say "Beep" is our favourite. If only because we got to swear that fucking much."

 A few words from the creatives, David Klein & Justin Ruben, Publicis Mojo Melbourne, Australia: This ad was basically an Australian version of the North Korean mass games. However given the limited time and budget we were forced to forgo the countless hours of practice and rely on the skills of the director Hamish and the persuasive techniques of electric shock therapy, in order to get average people to perform in unison.
