We’ve done a whole big cartload of TVC reversioning recently, here is but a small sample of the work.
Music is “Sun Bear Flex” by Dave De Rose (available at iTunes).

We’ve been very busy over the last year and now, in full colour and stereophonic sound, we give you the glorious beast that is our new showreel.
It includes both our original commercial and corporate productions as well as some of our vast amount of reversioning work.
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?
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.

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.

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.

We are delighted to have been asked to redevelop the London Advertising Softball League website once again – this time to create a much further-reaching site.
The new site includes forums, news weblogs, feeds from several other websites and Video and Photo sharing delivered through integration with YouTube and Flickr.

The Astoria, London’s legendary venue, closed its doors for the last time on the 14th of January this year. We are making a documentary on this piece of British music history and were there to film the entire last night in glorious high definition. With the venue making way for the Tottenham Court Road Crossrail station, we’re getting in front of as many of the bands that played there as possible.
We would love to hear all your stories from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
Let’s kick this off with:
Their May 1994 gig is remembered as one of Radiohead’s seminal coming of age moments prior to The Bends. Indeed the ‘My Iron Lung’ recording at the Astoria was never bettered, and with the addition of Thom Yorke’s vocals dubbed in, was used on the album.
Tetley commissioned a video for use by their salespeople in Russia and the CIS area. Our editors, animators and compositors used existing stock footage and TV commercials to produce a rather marvellous little piece of video.
