Sometimes when you work at a small, scrappy ad agency like Wexley School for Girls, you have to take matters into you own hands. So that’s exactly what we did for our client Oberto. Not only did we shoot a series of :10 second commercials ourselves, but we also acted in them as well. Take the spot up above for example. First you have Mr. Alex Smith (a Producer at Wexley) and myself, putting our mad acting skills to the test as Siamese twins. And we had the pleasure to perform alongside our good friend Mr. Peter Zakshevski, and fellow Wexley Art Director, Ali Sooudi. Also Siamese twins. It’s a shame we only had about 5 seconds to actually be on screen because I think, had it been a full :30 sec spot, you would have seen us really use all our acting prowess with a full range of emotion. It should be noted that we can all cry on cue as well.
Anyway, it was a ton of fun helping with these quick, weird spots. If you’re not lucky enough to see them running on MTV, SpikeTV or wherever else the media buy happens to be, you can check them all out here. I’m also an extra in this one, too.
P.S. I’m still experiencing the phantom pains from my Siamese twin, Alex. Sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and thrash about in search for my other half. Alex, if you’re out there, I miss you. I miss us.
