Cobra ‘Rush Hour’
PLANK FILMS
I recently had the pleasure of working with director Peter Pohorsky and producer Seamus Bax for Plank Films on a commercial for Cobra, suppliers of bathroom taps, fittings and accessories.
The spot called for eight shots featuring a stadium full of cheering crowds watching a family of four chase each other around the stadium track in pursuit of first prize which turns out to be…time in the loo?!
Editor Xander Van Der Westhuizen cut the piece and local post shop Strangelove supplied roto services as well as all post processes. My old friend Bevil Schwartz oversaw the job, Charmaine Greyling handled online and Nic Apostoli wrangled the grade.
Check out the full, hilarious spot (dripping with Pete’s trademark humour) below, or you can check out Planks’ website at: https://www.plank.co.za
