The Evian Babies are BACK!

Here's a new Evian Babies commercial... fun clever, filled with lots of visual effects.  Good stuff.  You are going to like it. 

At Deweymedia we like these commercials because they get your attention and they make you smile.  They aren't super funny, but they are highly engaging.  Now what they have to do with Evian is another story.  Nevertheless, we believe in video and film that gets your attention.  Let us help you and your story get attention.  Here's one of my favorite attention getting videos (produced and written by Deweymedia Executive Producer Paul Dewey) which we made for a client who helped fund JibJab in its early days: George Bush Intro   Not highly produced but we scripted it, and it got a huge applause when the client was introduced at various conferences around the country.

So Silly You Might Think It's April Fool's: Old Spice Bar Soap

Here's a crazy new commercial poking fun at 80's commercials and jingles created by Wieden & Kennedy in Portland for Old Spice.   Amusing stuff, because it is so far out there you aren't sure if it's real or if it's a joke commercial.  That madness is brilliant.  Particularly once you start seeing it on TV because it is going to make a lot of people do a doubletake.  Cutting through in this day and age is not easy, so I hand it to the Wieden & Kennedy and Old Spice for taking some chances and having some fun.  I hope it pays off big time. 

At deweymedia we have fun telling our client's stories.  They aren't usally as far out there as this Old Spice bar soap commercial, but we are ready, willing and able if you are.  We have a comedy writing background and we are ready to use it.  Listen to this low budget, silly video piece we produced introducing a speaker at conference who worked for the JibJab team.  "It was a ball writing words to put in the mouth of former president George W. Bush," says deweymedia Executive Producer Paul Dewey.  "He was a great president, but some of his pecadilloes made wide open opportunities for humor."

Celebrating a Big Anniversary - Youbetski, Call Phil

What do you do to celebrate a world class manager who has been working for you for 25 years?  You produce a music video of course, and you make it the ceterpiece of a party.  The video was a great collaboration between Nashville songwriter Layng Martine and Video Producer and Director Paul Dewey, Executive Producer of Deweymedia.  Here's the video known as Call Phil.

The song celebrates 25 great years with Phil Koretski at the helm of the Misquamicut Club.

Poking fun at Greenies. New ABC Animated series: The Goodes

Here's a clever animated comedy series ABC is launching in the end of May.  Perhaps it's too clever, you decide.  Pokes fun at all things green by showing a liberal suburban family trying to do all 'PC/Green things' in their world.  A funny juxtaposition of characters.  The creator is Mike Judge who brought the world Beavis and Butthead.  Must miss tv.  The promotion itself is a field day for Judge and his co-creators because they get to explain the motivation of their characters, and make you laugh.  These guys don't often get to tell the story behind the story, so it's fun to watch them reveling in their creation.  Show looks like it'll be fun to watch... at least I'll give it a try.
