This parody of Dove’s “Evolution” shows artificial beauty being created not for a woman but for one of those zany disheveled chicken characters trying to foist himself off as naturally healthy and clean Foster Farms poultry.
Through makeup and then electronic manipulation of his photographs, this sorry chicken is beautified so that he looks like he’s of a pristine pedigree. This imposter than appears on a giant billboard heralding him as fresh, natural chicken.
A message then appears on screen which reads, “No wonder our perception of fresh chicken is so distorted.”
A succeeding message urges us to “Join the Foster Farms movement for real fresh chicken,” followed by the Foster Farms logo and website address (www.fosterfarms.com).
Titled “Transformation,” this clever parody came out of agency Grupos Gallegos, Long Beach, Calif., and was co-directed by Nicolas Kasakoff and Sebastian Schor of Flip Films, Santa Monica.
The agency team consisted of creative director Favio Ucedo, associate creative director Martin Cerri, copywriters Rodrigo Trevino and Edgar Hernandez, art director Andres Munera and producer Valeria Maldini.
Adrian Castagna executive produced for Flip Films, with Leda Nasio serving as producer. The DP was Leandro Filloy.
Visual effects supervisor was Fernando Zorrilla of Bling Imaging in Balboa Lake, Calif.
Editor was Voltron of UHF, Santa Monica.
The :30 is slated to air on Spanish TV in the U.S. The English-language version will soon appear on Foster Farms’ website.
Gene Hackman Died Of Heart Disease; Hantavirus Claimed His Wife’s Life About One Week Prior
Actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease a full week after his wife died from hantavirus in their New Mexico hillside home, likely unaware that she was dead because he was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease, authorities revealed Friday. Both deaths were ruled to be from natural causes, chief medical examiner Dr. Heather Jarrell said alongside state fire and health officials at a news conference. "Mr. Hackman showed evidence of advanced Alzheimer's disease," Jarrell said. "He was in a very poor state of health. He had significant heart disease, and I think ultimately that's what resulted in his death." Authorities didn't suspect foul play after the bodies of Hackman, 95, and Betsy Arakawa, 65, were discovered Feb 26. Immediate tests for carbon monoxide poisoning were negative. Investigators found that the last known communication and activity from Arakawa was Feb. 11 when she visited a pharmacy, pet store and grocery before returning to their gated neighborhood that afternoon, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said Friday. Hackman's pacemaker last showed signs of activity a week later and that he had an abnormal heart rhythm Feb. 18, the day he likely died, Jarrell said. Although there was no reliable way to determine the date and time when both died, all signs point to their deaths coming a week apart, Jarrell said. "It's quite possible he was not aware she was deceased," Jarrell said. Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner, said he believes Hackman was severely impaired due to Alzheimer's disease and unable to deal with his wife's death in the last week of his life. "You are talking about very severe Alzheimer's disease that normal people would be in a nursing home or have a nurse, but she was taking care... Read More
