For this quirky coming-of-age spot directed by Aaron Stoller out of Biscuit Filmworks, The Mission team along with the creatives at Droga5 worked together to tell a story about growth and self-realization through the perspective of…a talking bottle of Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Face Wash. Stephen, a young zit sporting adolescent, laments in his bathroom mirror over his acne predicament. We all know the feeling, we've been there. We’ve all gotten comforting words from knowledgeable sources: our parents, an older sibling perhaps, but really who better to comfort than the one who will be on the forefront, fighting the battle – your face wash. Stephen looks around and astonishingly realizes that it is his Rapid Action Clearasil Bottle telling him “Hey, acne won’t last forever.”
VFX elements in this spot include CG character model and animation, beauty work, clean-up, robot head composite, light enhancements, and ceiling replacement.
