Hasta La Creative!

Clemenger BBDO Melbourne launched a new campaign for Transport Accident Commission emphasizing the importance of parental role models in determining childrens’ future driving behavior.

The 60-second “Strings” marks a drastic change in approach for Transport Accident Commission, which historically has relied on depicting car accidents to show the potential outcomes of poor driving decisions. “Strings,” on the other hand, the first work from Clemenger BBDO, doesn’t even have a car in it. Rather, it takes a simple but impactful approach to teach parents how their children are mirroring their driving behaviors. A child, attached to strings, mimics a series of driving gestures — such as checking his self phone for text messages, yelling at another driver and answering the phone. As the camera pans out, it is revealed his movements are controlled by his father in front of him, followed by the message, “What kind of driver are you raising?”

The shoot was not exactly easy to pull off, as Stephen de Wolf, Clemenger BBDO Melbourne creative director explains it involved “an intricate rig that linked our father and son, with professional puppeteers directing our talent,” with the spot filmed in a singled take, requiring “a perfectly timed and synchronised performance from both of them.”

Clemenger BBDO has carved out something of a niche for itself with thought-provoking driving PSAs such as “Local Legends” and “Mistakes,” so it’s no surprise that its Melborune division delivers a compelling take here for Transport Accident Commission.

A Origin Energy lançou uma campanha integrada para explicar aos australianos como eles consomem energia elétrica e, consequentemente, como eles podem controlar seus hábitos e economizar. Na versão completa, a bela animação 3D criada pela Clemenger BBDO Melbourne cria um mundo fantástico, onde um macaco andando de bicicleta, ursos polares, enguias e imãs briguentos são responsáveis pela produção de eletricidade, como se fosse uma máquina de Rube Goldberg.

A produção é bem feita, traz um elemento lúdico para um assunto que normalmente seria bastante chato. Mas traz algo mais, também: uma forte influência do clássico Happiness Factory, que a Wieden+Kennedy criou para a Coca-Cola em 2007. Vale o play.
