Mark Zibert & Gary Thomas (Crush) for Sapporo


Co-directed by Mark Zibert (Sons and Daughters) and Gary Thomas (Crush), “Legendary Biru” is beautifully detailed two-minute film. Shot on location over a month in Guangzhou, China, it is a linear journey though Japan’s rich cultural heritage that reveals the brewing process behind Sapporo beer.

This film follows the success of Crush’s collaboration with Marco Brambilla on his Civilization piece for the Standard Hotel in NYC.

PepperMellon for The Guardian and The Observer “World Cup”

As an appetizer to the hotly anticipated World Cup, Argentinean studio, PepperMellon, has jockeyed their way to front-lines and served up a playful treat to whet the appetites of commercial-goers and sport fans alike. With help from Wieden + Kennedy (London) and Stink, the studio has looked to character based animation in a cheerful and carefree advert made to raise awareness for The Guardian and Observer’s involvement in the upcoming sporting event.

Through a kaleidoscope of shots, the spot shows how —no matter where you are— the world can freely enjoy the footballing action of the event. With every changing scene, characters are depicted to be gleefully reacting to a World Cup moment that ripples across all cross-media platforms. The spot has a cute look. Like so many of the PepperMellon’s work, it finds a color palette that’s bright and welcoming, but not too pushy. In testimony to the music, the distinctively British tune is a perky, footballing hym that sings the praises of the event and mirrors the fun-for-sun’s-sake mood of the piece, which will leave you humming the foot-tapping ditty non-stop.

For a behind-the-curtain look at how the spot came together, see here.
