AUCKLAND, Wednesday: The Warehouse (with OMG, the Reel Factory, and Liquid Studios) have launched Mega Toy Month to reinforce its standing as NZ’s favourite toy store.
A new tvc – and all other creative tasks – were created in-house. The Warehouse brand marketer Hetal Jivanji said: “The new commercial is a whirlwind of fun that shows the sheer joy that a toy can bring.
Reel Factory director Johnny Barker says some of the techniques used to create the whirlwind of toys used state-of-the-art robotic technology, while others relied on more conventional methods.
“Our secret weapon was Reel Factory’s Bolt camera, a high-speed robotic arm that can perform repeatable camera moves.”
“Our secret weapon (besides our visual effects wizard, Leon Senf) was Reel Factory’s Bolt camera, a high-speed robotic arm that can perform repeatable camera moves.
“We would film the kids and then shoot the same camera move over and again while our art department team walked through the set with toys hanging on the end of a fishing pole.”
The rocking score by composer Mike Newport was designed to remind parents about the times that toys had perked up their own childhoods.
As well as the commercial, the campaign extends to out of home, digital, social and in-store activation.
