Debenhams Summer

Directed by Charlie Paul, the seventh spot in the extremely successful "Sale Spectacular" campaign produced for Debenhams, saw Itch creating a warm sunny afternoon on the beach at Black Island Studios. The spot was finished at Prime Focus and Paul McGann continues to do the voice over.

 

This Samsung spot is a classic example of Itch studio work at it's best. Shot on the motion control rig, these replacement shots perfectly matched the movement and lighting to the original ad allowing Rushes Post Production to effortlessly drop in the new range of cameras.

Episode 3

If you've been to our studio you will know that we had bunnies hopping around on our garden terrace!!!

It began with three bunnies who came to the studio to star in a 'Spring' shoot for Coop, none of us could bare to part with them after. The family multiplied to the extent that we had a total of sixteen hopping about, eating all our wonderful plants and chewing our internet cable etc...........It turns out that Charlie, who insists he knows about these things, is actually very bad at telling the sexes apart!!! We've since populated many north london families with beautiful bunnies and the remaining one Blackie has gone to live on our farm in Suffolk.

Here is a link to the third episode of an animated series about Blackie's adventures as he gets used to life in the country.

This great little promo succeeds because of the camera and lighting of DOP Simon Paul, editing of Julian Tranquil of Cut and Run and grade by Adrian Searey at Rushes post production.
