The best ideas are often very simple. And exquisitely crafted. Like this idea by Bear Meets Eagle on Fire for Telstra. The put your phone in silent campaign is made of three little silent films. They are mysterious and beautiful to watch. The get the “best idea” bit now? People will want to watch them.
The captivating films were directed by Finch’s Dougal Wilson, his first Australian production and commercial project since 2018.
Brent Smart, CMO of Telstra, commented, “So much care and craft has gone into these, I can’t wait to see them before some animated film my kids make me watch.”
Micah Walker, founder and chief creative officer of Bear Meets Eagle On Fire, added, “This is such a simple, fun idea and getting to work with Dougal again has just made that even better. We couldn’t be happier with how they’ve come to life.”
Dougal Wilson commented, “It was a delight to work with Micah and his team and Telstra on such a fun project. I loved these ideas and crafting them with my wonderful production team and crew was a hugely enjoyable experience.”
