@undies2000 I understand it was her very first acting role. She is an actress from Auckland, New Zealand.She is indeed quite lovely as a person as well as being very attractive.I will have a look at my files when I am back in the office and see if I can find her name. No doubt she will have a wonderful career ahead of her.
Spot on. John Perry from The Furnace is the agency. So it was written in Melbourne and Sydney. Shot in Auckland. Voice over in Sydney. We knew it was going to rain on the day of the shoot so decided to go with it. The poor actors were drenched but it gave the commercial a totally new dimension. Was a lot of fun.
Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I've been away. I suppose there aren't many tunes left that don't have bits of other tunes in them or remind of other tunes. This one was written specially for the commercial and we had quite a discussion about what it should be like before it was produced.
Just saw your note - sorry to take so long in getting back to you. I don't think there is a name for the song as it was written for the commercial. Transform Your Business, which is the name of the commercial, doesn't really do the song justice. The Director just knew the dance would be spot on. When I first described the commercial idea to our 680 staff - most of them thought it was going to be some boring ballroom dance scene.
I agree with chesspupil - this ad is brilliant in its simplicity. Providing a more specific example of what MEGT could do for one type of business, would fail to ignite the imagination of most of the target audience - but this... this speaks to everyone out there on their own, making a go of it.
Thanks lots for that. Feedback has been a mixed bag. Lots of people totally understand it is an analogy. But I've had some strange phonecalls from elderly people who didn't get it but took the trouble to ring up and ask. Better than a "talking heads" ad anyway!
