VW's Golf gets Gob Smacked
Produced in collaboration with Paul, Volkswagen launches its latest ad campaign for their flagship model with a lyrical and visual composition depicting the life of one man and his Golf.
The track for the advert, entitled “Gob Smack”, is made up from the sounds recorded in and around the Golf during the shoot. The music was created from sounds experienced during driving the car, including the car door shutting, driver and passenger exchanges and buskers on the street corner.
Airing on television for eight weeks from April 11 it will also be shown at Independent Cinemas from May 5.
The Everyday ad was developed at DDB, London, by creative directors Graeme Hall and Noah Regan, agency producer Richard Chambers. Filming was shot by director Scott Lyon (Mark Ronson, The Zutons) via Outsider, London, with director of photography John Mathieson, producer Zeno Campbell. Post production was done at The Mill, London. Editor was Art Jones at Speade.
