"Speaking as one of the nine Kiwis in this agency, it's very emotional for us to create a piece of work for our home country," says Andy Fackrell, Executive Creative Director, 180 Amsterdam "There's a certain sense of pride with how many All Blacks come out of your hometown: in my case Wainuiomata.

Posted under a pseudonym on August 9th, the videos were quickly picked up by the ravenously curious online UFO crowd. Within two weeks they have clocked up well over three million hits. Debate raged online as to whether or not the clips were genuine. Some sceptics decided the footage was so slick it must be viral marketing for various forthcoming films or video games. The clips appeared on CNN and Fox News, with a presenter on Fox News proclaiming "It looks real and I think this is proof positive that there are other life forms out there and they are coming after us!" Then last week the LA Times stepped in to investigate the story, and were the only press to track down the true source of the clips, David Nicolas, also known as PartizanÃâs Numero 6. "With all the cries of fraud and opportunism, even the most steadfast doubters couldn't find anything in the footage that was obviously bogus," wrote LA Times journalist David Sarno. "More than a few observers in either camp called them 'the best UFO videos ever'. " Numero 6 is known for its work for Coca-Cola, Ikea and the Super Furry Animals, among other clients. David made the UFO films as research for his next project, a feature film based on a true story about the biggest UFO hoax in American history. The film is still in pre-production and is to be produced by Partizan Films.

Position TDK as a major player in the sound system category. The idea? If youâre not listening to TDK equipment, the sound quality isnât as good as it should be. Therefore, youâre not getting true or original sound. And what better way to demonstrate this than by using celebrity look-a-likes who impersonate famous musicians. These people look and sound similar, but are clearly not the original.

Summing up the Impossible is Nothing campaign, the film delves deeply into the Maori traditions using genuine Maori artists to help the team tell their story. We hope that by explaining its true meaning, other nations will show the Haka the respect it deserves.â VIEW THE SPOT THE FUNERAL OF TIM ROYES THIS FRIDAY The funeral service for Academy Films director Tim Royes, who was fatally struck by a vehicle while vacationing in New York City early last week, will be held at 1pm, this Friday 31st August at Golders Green Crematorium in London.
