Freelance/Client Relationships in Real World Situations

May 28, 2009 in behind the scenes, Funny | Permalink

What if every other situation in life was treated in the same way that most clients interact with their freelancers? Well, here’s a brief glimpse as to what it would be like. The conversations seem like they were taken directly from various companies/clients from my past. My favorite part is at the end when they get the kitchen staff out there and the client tells them that before he leaves they need to teach him how to make the same meal at home so that they can do it in-house from now on! Ha! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard something similar towards the tail end of a project….

Enjoy!

May 26, 2009 in Commercials, Funny, International | 1 comment

Director Bart Timmer gives us a sequel to the hilarious Walk In Fridge spot (see below) that came out for Heineken last year with an updated, Walking Fridge. This is what happens when you’ve got a very thick European accent and are trying to convey your kitchen requirements to a contractor that just wants to get the job over with… Our hero asks for a ‘Walk in closet’, similar to the first promo, but instead gets an R2D2-like robot fridge that walks around the house (luckily stocked with Heineken). Kudos on the clever adaption.

Jorn Kruijsen and Jeroen van de Sande were the creatives from TBWA\Neboko who worked on this piece with Producers Robert Nan and Hein Scheffer from production company Czar, Amsterdam. Alex Melman was the Director of Photography with Annelien van Wijnsbergen as the Editor (the Ambassadors credited with the post production work).

Here’s the original if you missed it…
