Bankers Anyone?

by Max Brady

Ok, so we all know that Bankers are not exactly the world’s favourite type of person right now, but sometimes, some Banks go the extra mile. Like ANZ for example. Lots of small businesses struggle right now to get hold of our bank managers, or ‘relationship managers’ as they are now called, ask any of us.

But all of that aside, that’s not why I blog this. I like the concept, and the production is great, but what’s really exciting about this film is that the entire campaign is integrated. They’ve shot the longer, ‘viral video’ version and then cut it down to more traditional tv spots of 45 and 30 seconds. AND they haven’t taken the approach that viral video means cheaper video. Stunts, a great chase scene and some strong performance, did not come cheap, especially that shot with the ‘relationship manager’ hanging onto the truck! Enjoy.

A Funny Toothpaste Commercial from Bangkok

by Max Brady

I came across this on another blog I visit. We haven’t had much time recently with prepping, shooting and bidding on new projects, and it’s a bit of a pain not to have 3G in some parts of this lovely country, so that we couldn’t get online to continue our blogging! Can someone sort that out please?

But anyway, here is a funny ad for toothpaste from a company in Bangkok. I found it quite entertaining. I’m not quite sure what’s going on with the rising tube in the background, but whatever. And it’s an interesting treatment of the science bit at the end.
