Illustration: Absa Sponsorship TVC

So, KEITH ROSE, yes, KEITH ROSE, tracked me down because of my Kopanya illustrations and wanted me to do a mural for a TV ad he was directing. Wah! Many late nights and blurred vision on this one. It's the soccer mural (a digital illustration popped in during post). The second TV ad which focuses on the mural will be up as soon as it's flighted :)

Pitch won: New Nelson Mandela banknotes

This is a pitch we won. It's been quite a journey but here's some of the TV flighting so far. Big shout out to Am I Collective who executed this for us. Great job guys!

Tweets like the following make me happy :)

TVC: Castle Lite "Sweaty"

Who wouldn't love being flown to Cape Town to shoot a yeti? Too much fun.

TVC: Lemon & Nada launch TV

These are some nutty spots we did for a new product launching in South Africa: Minute Maid Lemon & Nada. They're tasty. Try one. The voice-over guy is Bryan van Niekerk. He is most awesome and VO artists often don't get the credit they deserve. So... well done, Bryan.

My song performed by Fonda (or a guy from Fonda)

We're doing an ad for a product that's about to launch. We proposed this song for the ad. I wrote it. The guy from Fonda performed it (super cool!). It wasn't approved but I still think it's an awesome song. Be careful, it's catchy.

TVC for a little orphanage called Door of Hope

TVC: Visa Go Fans for Fifa 2010

This is a series of international ads that we had to adapt to the South African market for the 2010 World Cup.

Integrated campaign: Standard Bank cricket

My art director, Miss Natalie le Roux, and I got our first big brief - the Standard Bank cricket sponsorship brand campaign. The pressure was on... and all I knew of cricket was from the sole match I had ever watched: I can't tell you who was playing or who won but I can tell you that those white pants the cricket players wear are see-through.

With Standard Bank, we have to use rhythm in both the audio, pace and copy as well as use "icons" visually. An interesting challenge that led to the concept "Forever Proteas" and our first ever TV commercial.



Masters and Savant were the animators on this project and they worked day, night and weekend to meet the crazy deadline of two weeks (it normally takes eight). They were full of awesomeness (and I'm not just saying that because they fed us Lindor Lindt balls). Enjoy!

Video: TBWA short-and-cheap film festival

These were some videos we did for an internal TBWA film festival competition. The client was Pedigree. Super fun to film! Especially walking around Norwood in dog suits and through a club clutching a conspicuously large beaded dog...
