The making of the Hyundai H1 TV commercial

Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.

You may well have seen the Hyundai H1 tv ad and wondered how the hell they managed to pump thousands of litres of foaming water out of the back of a panel van.

Well, we were wondering and this morning the Jupiter Drawing Room sent over a disc containing the secrets of the shoot.

Looks like the mounted a huge funnel structure on top of the van, flooded the water through it and then erased all traces of the contraption in post.

Sony Twilight Football video: The final showdown in the bullring

Posted on 05. Oct, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.

We’ve finally put the finishing touches to our short video that we shot at the Sony Twilight football event in Spain a couple of weeks ago. Some very nice action shots from our boys and the football was too bad either. This whole thing was shot in very fast fading light, which the XR520 camera handles remarkably well.

South Africa killed the Spanish team 18 – 3.

Loewe perfume: So good you’ll wanna pull into your knee

Posted on 28. Sep, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.

Give yourself a bone

Perfume is generally socially acceptable, but according to this bus shelter poster that we spotted in Spain, Air Loco by Loewe could leave you home alone but very much in love with yourself.

Seems like it’s a powerful stimulant that should come with a government warning.

Sony Twilight football: All the action from Anteguera

Posted on 25. Sep, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.

South Africa 18 - 3 Spain

After a 25-hour mega transfer from Spain, we’re back.

The actual Sony Twilight football event that we attended took place in a bullring in the historical town of Antuguera about an hour out of Malaga.

The football game itself was set up in the middle of the bullring with an all-star South African outfit taking on a local Spanish rock band. Understandably with the likes of Mark Williams [ex-Bafana bafana African nations cup winner] and the sports guy from Etv in the South African team – it wasn’t really a contest. South Africa drilled the Spanish 18-3.

Winners

They could have put more past them, but they went to Club Duvet in the second half and only scored 5 goals.

Photographers from around the world shot the action on the new Sony low light gear during the game which was uploaded, along with all the other footage from the other 6 games to Sony’s servers, and will form part of a global marketing campaign for the range leading up to the 2010 World Cup.

The low-light capabilities of our own camera was remarkable. It actually seemed to shoot better images the darker the stadium got. We shot loads of footage – so as the editing gets done and all the stupid things we said gets dumped – we can pop them up here.

Check out the photographs from all the other games that happened around the world on the official Flickr page here.
