    The Best Work You May Never See: Director Christian Schilling Takes The Jiggle Out of “Pudding” In Spec Spot For Mercedes-Benz

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments3495 Views

    Christian Schilling served as writer/director as part of  a team of students from Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in the making of this school diploma film, a comedy spec spot for the Mercedes-Benz Vito van.

    Titled “Pudding,” the piece introduces to a world of jiggling pudding which eventually gets loaded into a Vito mid-sized van. As the drive gets underway, the jiggling is evident–until the driver activates the vehicle’s Airmatic air suspension. Suddenly the jiggling comes to a halt.

    The interior shots at a pudding dessert shop took place in the studios of the Film Academy over two shoot days. The exterior shots were realized within one day in Landshut/Germany. This film was made possible by the support of Mercedes-Benz Vans, which has been a champion of the creative concept from the very beginning.

    Top Spot of the Week: John Lewis’ “The Gifting Hour” Directed By Francois Rousselet For Saatchi & Saatchi UK

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    The 2024 Christmas ad from John Lewis department stores has arrived. This year’s much anticipated TV commercial, continuing the Xmas tradition of John Lewis, is the two-minute “The Gifting Hour" created by Saatchi & Saatchi UK and directed by Francois Rousselet via production house Riff Raff.

    In the ad, the heroine, Sally, has left it a little late to find the right gift for her sister this year and races into a John Lewis store at closing time. Falling through a rack of dresses, she enters a fantastical world. We first see her stumbling out of the wardrobe in the attic of her childhood home and from here we are taken on a whimsical journey through her memories as she searches for the ultimate present, against the clock.

    Returning to the store and back to reality she has found the perfect gift, ready and wrapped. Sally then heads outside and has a special moment with her sister who will be the gift’s recipient. As they walk away we see her sister reflected in the John Lewis window as the child from her memories.
