THE SPOT
"Summer Dream" (:30) combines stock images, live action and visual effects to create a peaceful, colorful world for Natrel. A meadow of lush green landscape, a girl running in the distance, a ladybug crawling up a blade of grass, a little girl on a tree swing, and a translucent projection of a couple are some of the images which lead to a kitchen window. In the room, photographs come to life, and a television monitor reveals the same green meadow shown outdoors. A tall glass with milk being poured into it stands center screen. Simultaneously, a woman pours milk from a pitcher and her action parallels what is occurring on the TV screen. The visual on the monitor zooms into the glass and the logo forms, "Natrel, the milks of human kindness."
Spot broke Feb. 12 in Ontario and Quebec, Canada.
