Doolan ‘Boars’ them to tears…….of laughter as the new Mars ‘ROCKS’ commercial
Breaks out this month. The real challenge was to find a matching boar and bear in the
weird and wonderful world of taxidermists.

Leeming was thrilled with the result as Doolan effortlessly entered the world of
Youth culture.

Consistent, dedicated and his own best friend. Jamie gets things moving, his second set of Ford Dealership advertisments this year were another shining example of his strength as both Director and DOP. JWT and the client couldn’t be happier with the follow up to the first campaign that the dealership thought was the best they’d ever made!

This spoken to camera description of the product is beautifully supported by great visuals, graphics and a clean edit. On air this week, Jamie is currently shooting his latest commercial (Euro RSCG Sydney) with producer Jackie Adler.

Matt Kamen has just delivered a knockout music-vid for Melbourne based hip-hop outfit, True Live. Sneaking the project in between commercial jobs, Matt made the clip for the single “Damn Right”, taken from the band’s upcoming second album. 

“We wanted to do a Point-of-view shot of an underground boxing match,” Kamen says. “To make it feel real, I wanted Ryan to take a few punches but his commitment to this blew me away! After 5 minutes he was spitting blood and couldn’t focus properly. To get the shots I needed we went on for another 40 minutes, I hope he can still rhyme on stage.”

The clip was shot entirely on an old single clip video camera, with front-man Ryan Ritchie instructed to do his best to belt the crap out the camera and break it. Cinematographer Simon Ozolins’ fantastically grungy lighting was supplemented with a VHS degradation post-path and a colour grade to bring out tobacco flavoured skin tones and inky blue blacks.

Matt and Chris have just returned from a fantastic trip to Adfest in Thailand where Matt picked up a Bronze award for Best New Director. We congratulate him!

You can check out Matt’s reel here , or contact Chris to have a DVD reel delivered to your desk.

Mat Humphrey has just completed another hard hitting campaign to raise awareness for road safety from the TAC.

The campaign launched on the 18th March and sales of protective clothing have already started rising with consumers mentioning the advertising when coming in to purchase the gear.

It was great to team up again with Nigel & Pete for another memorable, if graphic safety message for the TAC.
