This risqué commercial is effective, although
simple and very humorous.
It is all in black and white. At intervals the following statements
flash up on the screen:
Do not smoke in the cinema.
Do not use your mobile phone.
Do not paint-ball while naked.
Do not staple your ear to a mantelpiece, and the final one reads
Do not nail your cock to a piece of wood!!
While these appear on screen, strange noises and
phrases are heard in the background. Along the lines of “Agh
let go!” “ I saw you do it” etc
Rushes producer Vittorio Giannini, adds: “
When Partizan and Point Blank approached us to do this we immediately
suggested doing this project in HD resolution which is 6 times the
size of standard pal or video resolution - That's 1920 x 1080 pixels
as opposed to 720 x 576 pixels. The principal reason we suggested
this route is that the project is essentially graphics based and
therefore when viewed large scale, the elements will appear much
sharper due to the higher resolution.
The clients came in with some drawn images, which we scanned in
at high resolution. Matt Jackson, our Inferno operator, took these
images and along with the creatives built the commercial based on
a guide track. Matt created mattes to alter the colours of the graphics
and added Monty Python style animation to some of the images. To
give the commercial more of a raw feel Matt added some film weave
from his library of sparks in inferno. The HD size images were then
transferred directly onto high-resolution tape, which was then sent
to be film out onto 35mm print. Matt also down res'd the images
to create video versions. The clients were extremely impressed that
the commercial was finished in one day, considering we were working
in HD resolution.” |
