WA: I came to this one a little late to the party after seeing his new video for Spacey Jane’s Booster Seat last month, but I was pretty taken with Matt Sav’s work for the Australian Medical Association’s Dr YES. Dr YES run education sessions with WA youth on mental and sexual health, as well as alcohol and drugs.
The short piece on seeking help with mental health after high school captures Caleb Harper’s (of Spacey Jane) vulnerability and strength in a way that oozes cool and is sure to resonate with its teenage and young adult audience.
And, as to be expected of any Matt Sav/Lewis Potts production, the lighting and colour rules. Check it out.
Non-WA: Considering November feels like both yesterday and a year ago, I’m hoping this ad counts as recent.
The Gate’s ‘Nobody is Normal’ for Childline in the UK hits all the right marks.
The look and feel is charming and just edgy enough to appeal to kids of all ages (including this inner child), the stop-motion animation is excellent, and — in a move I certainly didn’t see coming — Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ proves to be the perfect soundtrack for a children’s charity ad.
Plus, as far as short and sweet taglines go, “Nobody is normal” is as good as it gets. Superb stuff.
