DStv: DSTV Joy

Choices, choices. As the festive season approaches, we’re steadily faced with more and more. What presents to get for who, where to go away (if we’re that lucky!), where to celebrate, what to put on the menu … it’s not easy. And we know that choosing the right director for your commercial, one with the passion and talent to really bring your idea to life and thoroughly engage your target market, is even harder. So being chosen by agency Think Creative Africa to direct their client DSTV’s 45” Festive Season commercial was, in a word, a joy for JT, Spitfire’s youngest Director.

As was shooting it, with a cast of 14, 7 different set ups and one very full day to feel every moment. An opportunity to work fast, work clever and work sensitively to unwrap the joy of every performance. And being a Music Producer as well as a Director, an opportunity for JT to also create the backing music for both the TV and radio commercials.

JT can bring joy to your ideas too.
