Crossroads Director Harvey in collaboration with RH Advertising, just completed a beautiful spot for watchmaker Swatch. The :30 Seasons spot, used a number of imaginative techniques to create a surreal and abstract golden snowball fight that appears to take place in the vastness of deep black space.
Seasons opens on what appears to be a shimmering golden meteor whistling toward the camera in slow motion through space and exploding in a cloud of dust and glitter that settles in extreme slow motion on a previously hidden woman, who appears as a stylishly dressed silhouette. The mesmerizing figure then flings a golden snowball into space, setting off a spectacular golden-glittery snowball fight between countless similar gold-silhouetted characters.
The glitter highlights modern snow jackets, amazing directional hairstyles, snow shades and footwear in this happening crowd. The spot closes with a golden snowball whistling toward the camera and exploding into a shower of sparks falling through the blackness to reveal the beautifully lit Perles D'Encre Swatch watch sparkling in the darkness, the fallout of the snowball shimmering around it.
The music, handled by Point Blank, London is a perfect complement to the mysterious snowballs hurdling through space and exploding. Magical twinkles over the exploding snowballs and the Swatch reveal add to the awe of the event and create a wondrous sense that something special and valuable is being revealed.
Post house Envy, worked closely with Harvey in the studio, monitoring the blacked out set and gold glitter snowballs.
"It was a very messy shoot in that glitter covered everyone and everything," stated Harvey. "While technically challenging from various angles, we were able to come up with a number of techniques that simplified and sped up the process." Client: Swatch Spot Title: Seasons Air Date: December 2009

Two light beams are attracted to the Ford Focus. As the vehicle drives through the city streets, the light beams playfully interact with it and transform into light graffiti figures of Marilyn Monroe, Paparazzi and hitchhikers who try to attract the attention of the Focus. Shot in Portugal, the film uses the theme of how we all like to attract a little attention and continues the story of Ford kinetic Design.

The new Honda Accord Crosstour commercial. "Instruments" relies on atypical, pronounced polygonal animation and rhythmic music to showcase the all-new Honda Accord Crosstour, a modern alternative to the SUV/CUV category. Noteworthy music, a remix of "Fever," helps the spot reveal how lifestyles and experiences, as well as the stuff needed to facilitate these pursuits, fit completely into the Crosstour. "Instruments" and the forthcoming campaign spots began with a few pencil drawings and the directive to create a "look" that had never been seen before. This was accomplished by Andy Hall, Elastic and their team going the opposite direction of where computer animation is headed these days: instead of using super small polygons, these spots use large, pronounced polygons to create vibrant, memorable graphics. They're all about shape and shadow. Though larger polygons could imply retro technology, the lighting effects and movement in these spots are at a level of sophistication that could only be accomplished with today’s computer technology.

Beautiful new ad by Walmart supporting our troops this holiday season, titled the Anthem Christmas Wish.
Anonymous Content Director Andrew Douglas stirs up a moving tribute to U.S. troops for the 2009 holiday season. Anthem Christmas Wish, done for Walmart via Martin Agency, Virginia, stars a group of soldiers returning from an exhausting patrol in the torrid desert heat. As the heroes drop their helmets and packs to the ground, a miracle occurs - snowflakes drift down and soon cover the encampment, injecting the troops with an unmitigated joy. The scene then shifts to a little boy, presumably thousands of miles away, leaving the cozy confines of Santa's workshop. When his mother asks the boy what he wished for, he smiles and says, "Something for Dad."
To recreate arid atmospheres, Douglas shot the spot over a two-day period on Mystery Mesa in Santa Clarita, Calif. A pair of Marine captains and a retired Navy SEAL supervised the shoot to ensure that everything from the look of the uniforms to the handling of weapons reflected military standards and norms. Even the snow was authentic - Anonymous brought in 45 tons of ice, which was shredded and shot skyward to create real powder. Anonymous also created the jovial Christmas scene populated by the boy and his mother.
Walmart created the spot to say thank you to U.S. troops for their brave service. The spot debuted during Game 6 of the World Series, an enormous television event that guaranteed a large audience. Over the next two months, the :30 will run in theaters, online, and during some of the most popular programs on TV, including The Today Show, Good Morning America, and Sunday Night Football. The :60 version will be broadcast on the American Forces Network and Walmart's in-store network.

The characters shine in a hilarious new stop-motion spot for Diet Dr Pepper, part of the soft drink brand's Unbelievable campaign directed by Bent Image Lab's Ken Lidster in conjunction with Deutsch/LA.
Contest is a follow-up to the first spot done in the 50s-inspired animation style, which premiered last month. The :15 spot returns to the "I Exist!" support group for mythical characters in the middle of a competition to decide who is the most unbelievable figure in the room: Santa Claus or the guy who delivers a "satisfying diet drink." As the characters, Sasquatch, Alien, Leprechaun and the Tooth Fairy look on, the Easter Bunny declares a tie between the nervous contestants.
"There's only one way to settle this!" the Tooth Fairy exclaims, pouring a glass of Diet Dr Pepper for Sasquatch. Just watch it to find out what Sasquatch thinks.
"It's been a lot of fun to develop these characters", Lidster said. "We have worked very closely with Deutsch/LA to develop these well known celebrities. So when creative director Chris Ribeiro gave us another great script, we felt that we really knew the cast's personalities, exactly what they would do. Animating the subtle expressions that make them so real came naturally. The characters really took on lives of their own."
Lidster brings a long history of stop-motion success to this project. Lipton Brisk's Dojo, a stop-motion battle pitting martial arts legend Bruce Lee against the Karate Kid, earned an animation category honor in the 2000 AICP Show and inclusion in the MoMA's film archives. Lidster also directed stop-motion campaigns for brands such as Chips Ahoy!, Kellogg's, Oscar Mayer and Quaker Oats. Bent Image Lab is renowned for retro-inspired visuals, including Office Max (Santa's Helper) with Eddie Steeples, an AFLAC spot featuring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, two Alltel holiday campaigns, and two Saturday Night live shorts for Robert Smigel.
"The support group is just a brilliant setting," Lidster said. "It allows us to find out what really makes some of the world's most beloved mythical characters tick. It's clear they've needed an outlet for their existential fears for some time, and we hope to keep the 'I Exist!' group going long enough to help them out."
Bent created duplicates of the sets and triples of the nine-inch-high characters to streamline production. They then shot the stop-motion on high-resolution digital cameras. Certain shots, such as the soda pour, were done on one of the studio's in-house Red cameras, using the Red Ultra Prime lenses.
"You can really see Ken's mastery of character development here with all the non-verbals going on," said Bent Partner/EP Ray Di Carlo. "The whole Bent team's attention to subtle detail helped make this animation so much fun. But it all starts with a great idea and a funny script to play off of. On this project the agency provided both. We're very happy to have such a creative working relationship with Deutsch."
