Barclaycard Waterslide - DIY Spoof

Top our film and win a watersliding tour of the world!

Barclaycard are challenging you to create a version of their waterslide film. All you need to do is create a waterslide, film it and post it to www.youtube.com/barclaycardcreate to enter the competition.

The film that gets the most votes on YouTube will win a once in a lifetime trip for two riding some of the world's top waterslides in Dubai, China, Brazil, Germany and the US. You'll also get a camera and a laptop to blog about your trip.

The waterslide film features a group of students creating a miniature version of the Barclaycard waterslide TV ad, using household items such as buckets, mops, empty water bottles, baked bean tins and even a set of legs from a shop mannequin! The students then launch 'Dangerous Dan' down the slide and across the road to the local off licence to pay for some goods. The film was shot in Shoreditch in London.

Viral vid - Royal Mail Dancing Cat!

Viral video entertainment

AMV.BBDO have created a 20sec TV ad to promote Royal Mail’s personalised Stamps product: Smilers®. The TV ad features a man trying to entice his cat to do something funny for the camera, only to see the cat jump up and perform some dance moves as a soundtrack comes onto the TV. The bemused man takes the picture and it is transferred onto one of Royal Mail’s personalised stamps. The ad was directed by Ben Dawkins from Stink and produced by Ben Crocker. The sound was recorded and mixed at Grand Central, post production was completed by Duncan Malcolm from Glassworks and media was planned and booked by OMD. Smilers are available at www.royalmail.com/smilers.
