    St James Giant Banner

    Thursday, April 29th, 2010

    The Zebra-designed site banner for Henderson Global Investor’s St James Quarter development is now up in central Edinburgh! Measuring over 66 meters across (that’s about the width of eight standard routemaster double decker buses) this is the largest hoarding currently in the UK! *

    * Probably.

    Philips – ‘Parallel Lines’

    Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

    The blogosphere, twitterverse and various other kinds of media have all been ablaze with talk about Philips new campaign for their 21:9 television.
    We love the films from RSA (having watched them a gazillion times while we were localising them for various countries) and are closely following the rumours of The Gift being turned into a feature.

    Creative Review have more information and all the films on their site.

    HP – Global Viral Fun

    Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

    TelecomTV commissioned Zebra Crossing to create three ads for their client HP (Hewlett Packard, not the brown sauce). The brief was to create a unique set of global ads that put HP at the cutting edge of communications.

    “Woodstock”, “Rocket Man” and “Lost Tribe” were written, directed and produced by the zebra team of Nic Franklin, Mark Dymond and Luke Hammersley.

    A massive thanks goes out to all involved:

    Joel Anderson was our lens master, and as always brought magic to the photography; Amanda Linke simply did wonders in make-up. Not to mention Nathan Bayliss & Michael Ho (Soho Editors) for their After Effects wizardry, Ben Rogers (Glassworks) and Andrew Daniel (Molinare) for their delicate touch on the color grading balls, Marcus and the team at The Mews and a terrific sound mix by Nick Murphy at The Sound Company.

    The ads were shot on location across three continents; in Charlottesville (Virginia, USA), London, Devon and Cape Town (South Africa).

    ‘Twas good times and everyone seems to have their favourite ad, which is yours?

    Philips – Cinema Commercials for Europe

    Sunday, December 6th, 2009

    We worked with DDB to reversion and distribute the amazing ‘Carousel’ commercial for the Philips 21:9 format television. Going out to cinemas across Europe, the commercial by Stink’s Adam Berg is probably the most fun you can have with a menacing clown suit on.

    See the whole thing at www.cinema.philips.com.

    Video and Audio work for Amnesty International

    Thursday, August 13th, 2009

    We were recently pretty damn excited to be commissioned by Amnesty International to produce a set of audio and video for their annual week-long International Council Meeting in Antalya, Turkey.

    The work comprised a 3-minute and a 30-second video, created mainly from AI’s own library footage, which was played at the opening of the meeting. We also produced a 3-minute audio loop for playing during recess and after closing each evening.

    With the video and motion graphics edited in-house at Zebra, Sound Design was completed by Dan Darriba & Eddie Stevens at RMS and Dom Boucher at The Sound Company.

    ‘Running Late’ Screening at BAFTA

    Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

    Last night saw the screening of Leo Poloniecki’s short film ‘Running Late’ at BAFTA. The film went down a storm with the 200+ friends, family and industry movers and shakers, as did the cold beers on what was reportedly the hottest day of the year.

    Co-directed by Leo and Joel Anderson, Zebra Crossing handled all post-production on the film, from the offline edit to the telecine grade at TKone. Big thanks to John Penn at Dubbs and Alf Penn at TKone for all their help.

    350 commercials, 16 countries, 2 weeks.

    Monday, April 27th, 2009

    About a fortnight ago, DDB Global Business Director Cath Mawer commissioned Zebra Crossing to reversion and localise 350 commercials to be completed for distribution across 16 countries for Philips. 

    The Philips ‘Value’ Campaign – their biggest push to market this year – aired globally on Friday last week. Zebra producer Nic Franklin worked with the Central Implementation team at DDB and Gavin Burridge of Smart Films to complete the project. 

    Phase two begins this week, which means more products, more countries and more tight deadlines for the team!

    Many thanks to all of those involved and please click here to see one of the countries finished products: http://www.ofcourse.philips.com/nl/
