1. “I gotta go out the way… I gotta go out.” Rocky Balboa
Volume 1
I am nowhere close to rocky and his lifestyle. Using my body to the minimal has been a childhood trait,
thus the creative mind takes over. A body soap brand wanted to revive and change their identity and so
they did without asking me, of course. The creative agency handling the brand then approached my
current organization, the requirement was simple they needed, an on-line video extension that would go
viral. I call this kind of requirement from the client’s side Eat The Cake But Don’t Get Fat. So I gave
them this idea of any-time anywhere bath, the agency guys loved it and told us to come up with videos.
Problem 2 The Classic Problem of Lack or No Budget
As usual I was expected to perform miracles with or without a budget, now my reputation whatever in
atomic quantities existed was at great stake. I remembered a film-maker friend, actually he happens to be
my ex girlfriends’ current boyfriend, and he owed me a favor .So he gave me a helping hand in
organizing a camera, editor and actors in one of the most cost effective low productions guerrilla shoots
maybe in history of ad film-making. The actors took bath in middle of the streets on the divider, a tree, in
a stable and an open air car-wash. I named the various baths too, for example the bath on tree was called
Tarzan Bath. The hired actor backed out at the last moment. Without any second thoughts, I jumped in
while my film-maker friend started filming my epic bath. http://www.youtube.com/watch?
