The Nice Shirt Films x Raised By Wolves Party 2013

Last Thursday saw the social event of the season, with a small soiree held at our office. If you were there, we'd like to thank you for coming and making it a very special evening (...and ask you if you know who nicked our new expensive candles??)

 If you weren't there, you missed out on some fantastic food, delicious drinks and some top notch tunes and some convivial socialising. What follows next are a few snaps from the night to give you a sense of what was a magical, liqui-centric evening. 









(thanks to the fine folks over at Black Pig with White Pearls)



There are lots more photos from the night, but due to the various states of inebriation depicted, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 

Debenhams "Coats & Boots"
by Stuart Douglas

Stuart Douglas' latest film for Debenhams gives us a romantic, sumptuous glimpse into the department store's stylish collection of winter coats and boots. It is the second of three films Stuart is directing as the store re-imagines its "Life Made Fabulous" campaign with a more visual and cinematic feel.


The exhilarating spot picks up where "Grand Hotel" left off, giving us a fast-paced and luxurious glimpse at the season's latest collections from the Designers at Debenhams. The chic garments are showcased in the film by the assortment of beautiful people who are all intriguingly linked in a frenzied, romantic romp through the streets of Prague Budapest Buenos Aires (!). The much-lauded sketch motif from the first Debenhams film returns in this spot, highlighting each stylish garment's connection to their respective designer's original vision, as we see the elegant clothing magically transform from real life to designer sketch.

The soundtrack to the film is again the infectious "Youth" by Foxes. The stirring song, in combination with the elegantly-shot apparel, the smouldering stars and the compelling scenarios adds up to another highly-polished and enthralling film from Stuart.

Rabbiting On

Jesper's rather wonderfully odd Verisure spot with the rabbits has been going down a storm.



Shots loved it, naming it a Contender, whilst David Reviews loved the spot for its "wonderful weirdness. [The spot is]... the very definition of brave advertising". High praise, indeed!

It even conquered The Guardian's Ad Break, the pick of the week's best adverts from across the globe:


It's always makes us sad bunnies that bar the Guardian's article, you need to pay a subscription to see what Shots et al say about our directors and their work, so to ease you through the pain we made this slightly-trippy, down-the-rabbit-hole(!) Vine:




Weird.

"Let's Have a Party"


The food is ordered, the drinks have just gone in the chiller: Nice Shirt and Raised By Wolves are having a little get-together very soon.

After much planning and much careful deliberation, the invitations are winging their way to their recipients now.


If you received yours, we can't wait to see you there. If you didn't, well, better luck next time.*


(*If we missed you out, sorry! We'd love for you to come - drop us a line and we'll see what we can do) 

Verisure "Rabbit Party"
by Jesper Ericstam

Jesper emerges from a busy Swedish summer with a series of spots for Verisure. The campaign, comprising of three spots, centre around various family scenarios using a new feature to control their home's security & lighting via some sort of smartphone magic. Jesper brings his typical charm, warmth and slightly off-the-wall humour to these family home-based comedy spots, that recall his recent highly-praised work for IKEA

Our pick of the three spots is "Rabbit Party", which sees the mother happily relieved at the message that her son is home safe and sound, with no knowledge of the ensuing feast he has planned for the family pets.

Flamin' Groovy

We're delighted to bring you news of Jon Hollis' success you might have read about earlier.

At the IBC Awards held in Amsterdam last month, Jon's groundbreaking SFX work was honoured with Special Recognition for Pioneering Work in Flame award. The ceremony was arranged by Autodesk, whose Flame software Jon has been using to create memorable work for commercials and features for over twenty years.

As well as honouring his talent, his contribution towards the creative community was also recognised with the organisers praising Jon for his pivotal role in bringing Flame to the forefront of the visual effects world.

Jon, in his inimitable style, said he was "honoured to receive the honour", which is pictured below in this exclusive snap taken today from his Flame suite.
