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.

Zebra’s Summer Showreel
Monday, July 5th, 2010HP – Global Viral Fun
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010TelecomTV 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?
Woodstock
Lost Tribe
Rocket Man
Philips – Cinema Commercials for Europe
Sunday, December 6th, 2009We 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.

Video and Audio work for Amnesty International
Thursday, August 13th, 2009We 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, 2009Last 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.
Corporate Sales Video for Tetley
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009Tetley 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.
Online Commercial for The Smoodyfruit Company
Sunday, September 28th, 2008Zebra Crossing were commissioned by the Smoodyfruit Company to create a 60s commercial for web to introduce their new alcoholic fruit juice Twisted Core. Produced by Luke Hammersley and written and directed by Nic Franklin, it was filmed in day at a show-home in East London.
For the final reveal actors were shot on bluescreen, the visual effects for this were added by Duncan Elms from Soho Editors.
STEEL – The Digital Communications Agency
Sunday, July 20th, 2008Zebra Crossing were commissioned by STEEL to produce a business-to-business marketing showreel of their services.
Messages were carefully constructed and delivered by key staff on Stage 5 at Ealing Studios while additional footage was captured over two days in STEEL’s Wandsworth studio and around the capital.
Directed by Nic Franklin and produced by Luke Hammersley, the film was shot on HDCAM by Joel Anderson and Marc Cayford.
An original score was composed by Luke Hammersley, and to give the track a contemporary and urban feel we decided to record the track with the addition of The Standards.
Portillo Meets
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Through our ongoing relationship as a supplier of media services with the multinational consulting, technology and outsourcing company Capgemini plc, we are in production of a series of interviews with Michael Portillo (former secretary of state for defence) and several of Capgemini’s largest clients. The 7 minute episodes are a chance for Michael, who acts as an advisor to Capgemini, to discuss the work they have delivered with the clients, finding out how it has changed the organisation and it’s people, and what it means to work with such a high profile delivery partner. Chief Executives from government and the private sector share their thoughts with Michael, the first episodes are now available to view from the Capgemini UK website with more to follow shortly.
Zebra Crossing Film Screening – A Double Premiere
Saturday, December 1st, 2007
Last night saw the first public screening of Nic Franklin’s latest short film, Room 32.
Played to a full house of cast, crew and invited guests at the Rex Cinema, Piccadilly the film which is inspired by the Jim Morrison poem Room 32 was well received. It’s an emotional piece where the main character is a schizophrenic battling with his inner demons. The lead role is played superbly by Mark Dymond, (James Bond – Die Another Day; Blackball; Dungeons & Dragons; Northanger Abbey). Thanks go to everyone involved.
Also screened for the first time was the recently completed Music Promo for the fantastic new London Band ‘The Standards’. Filmed in two separate locations, we hired a full size Circus tent and performers during the summer of 07, completing filming in November at Big Sky studios in London’s Kings Cross. The band are performing to their single ‘Needless to Say’ in a ghoulish early 1900’s surrounding.
Directed by Nic Franklin and produced by Luke Hammersley, big thanks go to the band and all involved, but especially to DoP Joel Anderson and compositors Marc Khachfe and Siobhan Bowers who worked incredibly hard to produce such fantastic results. The promo has been entered into various film festivals around the world… watch this space.
