Beast, one of the nation’s top editorial houses and subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc., recently completed work on a new campaign for Jarritos, the Mexican soft drink popular among Hispanics in the United States, via agency GSD&M. Jarritos is introducing new advertising to win over young men in hope of spreading the brand’s message further. nnGSD&M tapped Beast to work on a series of hilarious and offbeat web videos for the new Jarritos website. Editors Ariel Quintans, Sam Selis and Jason Uson worked on the campaign and Beast provided a great deal of on-set support. One of the challenges the Beast team met was finding original music for the campaign. "Each channel needed a specific feel and the proper score to accentuate the action and comedy," said editor Ariel Quintans. "The agency trusted Sam and me to be the creative drivers behind the evolution of the music. We commissioned a local ensemble, Mother Falcon, for the job and they hit it out of the park!"nnThe quick turnaround was another challenge the team had to deal with. “We had 14 spots to edit, color, score, mix and deliver in two weeks,” offered Uson. “Ben and Dave from Fueld Films knew exactly what they wanted and gave us enough footage to work with, which was great.”nnThe editors enjoyed a creative collaboration with GSD&M and were more than enthusiastic about the campaign. nn”This was one of those dream campaigns where the creative was strong, the agency was fun to work with and we all enjoyed a truly collaborative effort from pre-pro through production, post and scoring,” added Quintans.nnNew videos will be added to the site through the end of the year.nn
