In “The Game,” three guys are hanging out in front of a TV watching sports. One of them – the saver – reaches down to check his tablet, as another – the spender – comments, “Checking your fantasy?” The saver responds, “No, just my 401k statement.” The dialogue continues as the spender, who says that his money is “gone before I get my hands on it,” is decked out in more and more lavish items, starting with a gold watch, necklace and sunglasses and ending up astride a new motorcycle in a medieval knight’s costume and virtual reality goggles. The spot ends with a pizza guy showing up at the door and the spender saying, “Hey, can somebody spot me?”

Open Swim’s Director/Editor Bradley Ross Collaborates On Latest Campaign for StriVectin
Director/Editor Bradley Ross brings StriVectin’s legacy of clinically proven, scientifically formulated skincare to life in the brand’s latest campaign. In addition to directing the campaign, Ross oversaw the editing process through Open Swim’s post-production division, further highlighting StriVectin as a leader in skincare solutions for aging and changing skin. Ross also called on Open Swim’s newly signed Director/Photographer Karen Haberberg for on-set photography and drone footage.
“It’s always fun to work on projects affiliated with products we like and believe in,” says Executive Producer Amyliz Pera. “On this shoot, we were able to garner footage for the StriVectin archive across multiple products and for multiple purposes. Testimonials, b-roll, social capture, stills, follow-up interviews – we had it covered. Karen Haberberg was such a delightful addition to our team. The Open Swim model, in which Directors and team members collaborate, continues to serve us and our clients well.
