Dairy Farmers of Canada: Candles, Car, Construction, Doorknob, Eyeballs

Our objective was to increase sales of milk within a cynical teenage demographic by helping make it more socially acceptable. We wanted to make milk cool. Knowing that traditional 30-second television commercials would be lost on our jaded, media-soaked audience, we created quick, fun, and strangely animated mini-commercials called “Dot Spots” that each highlighted a single health benefit of milk in only five seconds. To date, we have created nearly 200 of these individual Dot Spots, keeping the campaign continually fresh and unexpected.

The Havens: Where Is Your Line?

Brief Explanation: This important and unsettling film was developed to question the ambiguities around the issue of consent and ask the viewer “Where is your line?”. The objective of the film was to raise awareness of The Havens, a London based Crisis Centre that helps rape and sexual assault victims, and to foster debate amongst young people about what constitutes rape. The film follows a survey commissioned by The Havens, which revealed that almost half of men aged between 18-25 do not think it’s rape if the person changes their mind during sex and that over 5% of young men reported that if they thought the woman was drunk that they would try and have sex with her even if she said no. The film shows a young girl and boy meeting at a party. As the young girl gets steadily more drunk, the film works by inviting the viewer to click when they feel that the line has been crossed by the young man. Once the viewer clicks on the film, a line is drawn for them and statistics from the survey are revealed. The statistics used relate directly to the images being shown – i.e. kissing, touching, being drunk, pushing away, crying etc. The viewer is then invited to continue watching the film to its conclusion. If the viewer watches the film to the end without clicking on the screen, the titles reveal that they have in fact ‘crossed the line’ and that ‘if there’s no consent, it’s rape’. The interactive element was therefore a way of handling the dilemma over to the viewer. For the limited budget available to The Havens, it was decided that YouTube would be the best platform through which the target market of 18-25 year olds could be reached. The launch was also supported on Facebook and Twitter. Without any funding for seeding, to date it has received 160,000 hits online. It is also being supplied as a DVD package to London schools as part of a Havens outreach programme.

Amnesty International: Voices for Freedom

Brief:
Based around the central idea of ‘Voices for Freedom’ to tell the story of Dhondup Wangchen to draw attention to the campaign site. Dhondup Wangchen is a Tibetan imprisoned in 2008 for the making of ‘Leaving Fear Behind’ a documentary exposing the true feelings of native Tibetans about the Chinese rule and the then impending 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Background:
Leo Burnett’s campaign for Amnesty International addresses the silencing of civil activists worldwide. One such activist, Dhondup Wangchen was imprisoned in 2008 for the making of his documentary ‘leaving fear behind’ which describes the feelings of modern day Tibetans regarding Chinese rule and the then impending Beijing Olympic Games. Following his imprisonment in 2008 a massive wave of unrest tore through Tibet in the form of the rioting of Buddhist monks resulting in the disappearance of over 1000 monks unaccounted for until this day. Dhondup’s story became a resounding analogy of a much greater worldwide struggle against authoritarian rule and the use of power to silence the minority.

Synopsis:
Leo’s poignant slogan for the Amnesty campaign ‘Voices for Freedom’ was the starting point for our animation leading us to narrate the story of Dhondup’s own discovery and loss of his freedom of speech. It was important for us to convey the identity of Tibet which seems to have been trampled by Chinese rule, as was it seems the identity of Dhondup himself. Our script was influenced strongly by Bhuddist and Tibetan proverbs which significantly inform the beliefs of the Tibetan people. The narrative involves many symbolic animals which are central to religion and lifestyle in Tibet, the Yak, Tiger and antelope are all Bhuddist prayer animals while the crane is a national symbol in China. Key to our story was the idea that a single voice can influence thousands of others, represented in our animation as dandelion seeds free with the potential to create a thousand others but on a journey that may also end in an instant. Our final message is that one voice will always prevail through the masses who are silenced to inform a thousand others.
