Zebra Crossing’s Chris Trotman has a new t-shirt design up on Threadless. Vote it up and get it made (please, mainly because I really want one).

Score this design: “Apocalypse Cow,” to help it get printed on Threadless!

This has been up there for a while now, but if you haven’t seen it you need to watch it in its entirety right now, in fullscreen.
This is one seriously talented guy.

Feel free to let your jaw drop.

St James Giant Banner

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’

Carl Winberg — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 10:01:06 +0000

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

Carl Winberg — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:01:58 +0000

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

Luke Hammersley — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 14:46:44 +0000

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.

Zebras are migrating!

Carl Winberg — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:21:55 +0000

Just a quick note to say that as of Monday the 2nd of October Zebra Crossing will be working out of our nice new offices at 74 Berwick Street, W1F 8TE.

Just upstairs from the dentists.
Just across the road from Sister Ray Records.
Just up the road from The Blue Posts.

Exciting times.

16:9 Spoils the Cinema Experience

Carl Winberg — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:01:16 +0000

Went to see The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus at the Putney Odeon recently, and as the commercials finished I kept waiting for the curtains to open up and give me the full Gilliam experience…
But no, the whole film was shown on the paltry screen in a livingroom-inducing aspect of 16:9.
Surely there must be better standards in British cinema?
