Summer, Aug. 24, 2023, we are just driving back from vacation in Germany.
I get a phone call from an unknown number. Hi Jef, Maarten Sundermann here, you don’t know me, but I know you. Making a movie together? After a few intense days of treatment, winning the pitch, one month of pre-production, one week of shooting, lots of zoom-calls and two weeks of editing and grading, after 2,5 months it’s finally there..
ZIGGO
Brand Campaign Film & Photography
My first film for @film.monks & Ogilvy Amsterdam. My first major campaign film and print for the Netherlands. Incredible thanks to @itolga for the wonderful trust and tons of humor. @jesseridder and @jvanbokhoven for totally getting inside my head and even adopting my Flemish bad one-liners. Gelijk Zot ! And to the 3 top producers who really went out of their way to make the movie the way it needed to be made…. “you guys pulled some serious strings.” Thank you, for the beautiful sets, styling, make up, . vfx, invisible A.I. , punishing cast and the beautiful music! And to David of course for standing by me for many days and going crazy together.
The film is accompanied by Ramses Shaffy’s iconic song: sing, fight, cry, pray, laugh, work and admire. Will be supported with a national radio, outdoor, online and social media campaign. There will also be displays at the Ziggo Dome and on the large LED screen at the entrance to the office at Hoog-Catharijne in Utrecht. You’re not going to be able to see past it all.
“The most amazing moments are the moments when you really feel something. And if entertainment does one thing, it is arouse emotions. We see that beautifully portrayed in this campaign: all the emotions you can experience thanks to our wide range of entertainment are passing by. From a laugh and a tear to amazement and wonder. “
