Summer's Eve Commercial Features Operatic Theatrical Score
Cinematic and audacious, “The V” for Summer’s Eve® is a masterfully directed Kinka Usher spot that unfolds like a blockbuster feature film trailer with a smile inducing twist. To match the spectacle of the commercial’s visual experience, agency The Richards Group engaged <a href="www.primalscreammusic.com.>PrimalScream Music to harness the power of the V in a grand overture to the vagina. The story of love, power and hygiene launched theatrically on over 2,500 screens nationwide and is airing now.
To create the authenticity of a movie score, <a href="www.primalscreammusic.com.>PrimalScream Music‘s Creative Director Nicole Dionne handpicked collaborator Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator) for his invaluable feature film and trailer experience as well as his penchant for explosive scoring. The two creatives have worked together numerous times with great success including on the groundbreaking BMW Films short directed by Wong Kar-Wai. During the process, Dionne, Badelt and the agency team were thrilled to record a live orchestra and choir to add awe-inspiring dimension to the vibrant composition. Final mix was done at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles’ famous recording studio in which PrimalScream is based.
“The V” was shot by legendary DP John Toll and edited by Tom Muldoon, and features VFX by The Mill. The spot will screen in theaters throughout July and is slated to air on various cable networks including Bravo, VH1, MTV, Oxygen and E!.
“Our process is about creating engaging music that truly enhances our clients’ vision and boosts the audience experience,” says Nicole Dionne. “Given the feature talent involved with ‘Hail,’ our approach and vision was to honor the amazing trailer concept with a movie score approach to fill the room, whether a theater or at home.”

A&G’s New Third Space Studios Fills A Community Gap
A&G's (Allen & Gerritsen) new Third Space Studios is not just a full-service production offering for the creative agency. It's filling a gap in the community by making a complete video and production facility (live-action studio, production extension, editorial & motion, and audio services for podcasting, voice-over and online audio) available to all. Larger organizations like Blue Cross Blue Shield Massachusetts and Meet Boston, individuals like creators and collaborators, and nonprofits like the Boston Symphony Orchestra and The Wonderfund are already accessing both the space and the affordable creative and production support that comes with it. The Wonderfund has even tapped the studio for an entire brand relaunch. The studio is an extension of A&G’s Third Space, a new concept the agency opened in Boston and Philadelphia last year to give employees, clients, creators, and even startup incubators (Boston currently has two) a place to gather, dream, and innovate in comfortable surroundings. Located inside its Boston location (125 High Street), Third Space Studios is available to the Tishman Speyer building’s tenants who can use its ZO building app to request studio services ranging from studio rentals to co-creation to full-service production.
