This Is Not Charles Saatchi - "Playful Tiff" By Anonymous British Artist On Display In London

31 Jul 2013


Charles Saatchi has always been a proponent of controversial British art, but there is one particularly provocative artwork on the market that that he definitely won’t want in his collection.

A young British artist (who prefers to remain anonymous) has created a life-size model of Saatchi with a hand outstretched ready to choke anyone who cares to interact with the piece. The work is entitled ‘Playful Tiff’ - the words Charles Saatchi used to describe the infamous incident where he put his hand around his wife Nigella Lawson’s neck at Scott’s restaurant in London. Viewers of ‘Playful Tiff’ are invited to place their neck in Saatchi’s hand and capture the moment by taking a photo on their mobile phones.


In line with the devilish persona that Saatchi has adopted to promote his book ‘Be The Worst You Can Be’, the model is bright red and replete with horns.

The artwork is currently on display at the Jealous Gallery In Crouch End in London.

Saatchi NY and Logan Deliver “Getaway” for Lenovo Yoga 11S



As part of its “For Those Who Do” campaign, the “Getaway” film involves the consumer in a story centered around the versatility of the new Lenovo Yoga 11S, in the way only Lenovo can. It’s dark and slightly subversive. Stylish without being too sleek. And, best of all, it showcases our single product’s four incredible modes, in a storyline that allows our consumer to interact directly with the product and the campaign’s hero, Lizzie.

“Getaway” isn’t a sequel in the literal sense, but it uses our illustrious heroine from last year’s campaign, “The Pursuit,” and adds to the story. It tells us that she’s gone through incredible measures to capture Lenovo’s technology more than once – in fact, this is her eleventh heist. And now that she’s completed her final mission, she wants to give the tech back to the people – our biggest fans. The end result is an entertaining piece of film with our incredible technology as the real hero, and a call to our fans to join the story and claim one of Lizzie’s eleven Yoga 11S’s for themselves.

Audi Presents: Australia Land of Quattro



Australia. Land of quattro is no ordinary TV commercial. Audi hacked quadcopters to track their car through Australia and create a multi-angle, multi-screen, interactive commercial - designed to be instantly and infinitely remixable from the comfort of your couch.

To achieve this agency Holler and production company Aloha Films had to reinvent the way they shot a commercial. They used 'dynamic waypoint' hacked quadcopters (arduino) and 3DR telemetry tracking technology to match the Audi quattro turn for turn and capture each scene over and over again, so you can take the director's chair and create your very own commercial to share.

See how they did it in the "making of" clip, below and then try creating your own Audi TV commercial.

Tribal Worldwide-Toronto and Kol Kid Pursue The Value of Simple Play In New Ads



In an era where digital and electronic inventions are consuming hours of our lives, its toys and devices are also making an impact on the way children play. Remember when fun was governed by games and activities like Red Rover, I Spy, Couch Forts and Hopscotch?

Kol Kid is helping parents and their children put down their devices with the launch of a cool new web app (Play Engine) that generates endless, simple play ideas like finger puppets, Simon Says or how to make a homemade printing press, for example. Kol Kid is a Toronto-based children’s store, making a stand to celebrate the value of simple play and illuminate the insight that tech toys can’t always fulfill the tactile joy of simple toys. Kol Kid has also released three online spots to springboard this communications campaign and help reinforce the store’s purchasing philosophy, which is to sell toys that fosters children’s imagination and play habits.

PRESS: Kol Kid’s new campaign by Tribal Worldwide - Toronto helps parents rediscover the value of simple play

In an era where so many digital and electronic toys task kids with a touch of a screen or hit of a button, Kol Kid, a Toronto-based children’s store is launching a new communications campaign that celebrates the value of simple play.

“After shopping at Kol Kid a few times I noticed they didn’t carry a single electronic toy,” says Sanya Grujicic, senior copywriter, Tribal Worldwide - Toronto. “After chatting with Lisa, the owner, our team soon realized there was a philosophy to her store that was much bigger than just toys. Technology is fundamentally changing the way children play.”

Developed by Tribal Worldwide – Toronto, the campaign launches with three 30-second web videos, directed by Tom Feiler of Code Film, that cleverly communicate how tech toys can’t always fulfil the tactile joy of simple toys.

“I’ve always been particularly tuned into childhood development,” says Kol Kid owner Lisa Miyasaki. “I’ve never been interested in toys that do the playing for you. We’ve always carried toys that are tactile and open-ended. Toys that foster a child’s imagination and allow them to create their own play scenarios.”


Putting the spotlight back on simple play activities that many parents grew up with, Kol Kid and Tribal have also launched Play Engine. A web app that generates endless, simple play ideas like finding shapes in the clouds, Simon Says or how to make a homemade printing press, for example. The playful app harnesses the utility of technology to help parents discover hours of imaginative, play ideas. Ultimately, helping kids and parents put down their devices.

In addition to the videos and the Play Engine, Tribal Worldwide - Toronto also refreshed the design of Kol Kid’s website adding new content and in-store photography by Tom Feiler, that helps bring the store's philosophy to the forefront. Print advertising and in-store signage are being developed as well, to further round out the campaign and drive traffic to the store.

Sun City - AllSaints Hot Bikini Model Floats Away On A Barge

High end fashion retailer AllSaints release a sexy new short film/commercial - "Sun City, It's Getting In Here" shot on location in London with the very beautiful model, dressed in AllSaints Silia Bikini and The Walker Leather Jacket.

A provocative tale of displacement and individuality, the short film was entirely devised, shot and edited in just two long hot days in the capital last week. By confronting the clichés and conventions of swimwear advertising, Sun City demonstrates AllSaints' spirit for creative disruption.



The short was directed by Paris-based Director/Photographer Jonathan de Villiers and inspired by one of his editorial shoots.

The production company: Wanda London, used their connections to obtain rare authorization to film on a working barge not usually licensed to carry passengers. (The only time the Port of London Authority have previously made an exception was during the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations). So this was a unique day for AllSaints and their bikini clad model, the sight of whom prompted even the river police to get their camera phones out!

By confronting the clichés and conventions of swimwear advertising, Jonathan de Villiers, demonstrates AllSaints' spirit of creative disruption.

The final film was enthusiastically received by the client and we look forward to further collaboration between Jonathan, Wanda and All Saints in the future.

Food Porn - D4D Has 2 Shorts Selected To NYC Food Film Festival

Two short films directed by Matt Checkowski and produced by The D4D, Porter Braised Ox "Cheek" and "Mixed Berries, Three Ways",” have been named part of the official selection for the 7th Annual NYC Food Film Festival, which runs October 23rd - 27th, 2013 in New York City.

The Food Film Festival (http://thefoodfilmfestival.com) sprang from the imagination of Festival Director and Travel Channel host George Motz, the documentary filmmaker behind the award-winning Hamburger America film and book, along with co-creator Harry Hawk. Through documentaries, features and short films, the Festival showcases the best, and the most memorable, of the world’s favorite foods. Along with a heaping helping of mouth-watering films, Motz, Hawk and company serve up the food that guests are watching on the screen for a multi-sensory experience.




“I am excited to be a part of the festival and to screen these short films for audiences who share our passion for unique food experiences,” notes Matt Checkowski, Director/Founder of The D4D. “Connecting the visual narratives with a story for the palate makes for an inspired take on the traditional film festival.”

Porter Braised Ox Cheek" and "Mixed Berries, Three Ways” feature Chef Martin Berg of Michelin-starred restaurant Mathias Dahlgren as he prepares some of his favorite dishes. The films are part of a near painterly short film series surrounding Berg’s appreciation and mastery of fine ingredients. Each unfolds in reverse; an homage to culinary magic.

This is the second time The D4D and Matt Checkowski have had work in the Food Film Festival. Two years ago the Chicago iteration screened its short film for Intelligentsia “Espresso” The film is part of a series created for Intelligentsia’s core audience of coffee obsessives and artisanal culturistas.

Food and drink are reoccurring themes in The D4D's storytelling. Checkowski recently curated a collection of stills taken during his culinary content adventures, exploring the oldest bakery in Berlin, meeting the rock star butcher of London and a master class with the Pope of Foam.
