Chris Searl – Tooheys New

March 15th, 2010 § 0

Chris (very) recently shot this campaign for Tooheys New.  Anyone who has a sense of humour as stupid and inane as we do with recognise that they’re in the tradition of LOL Graphs. But this one involved dragging a life sized column graph made of set-build and beer.  This shot was at Palmy.

Here is a beautiful campaign by Chris for Insight.  Love the art direction and the crumpled stock effect.  (Or maybe he left it on the floor of his car.)

Collaborative Mini Show, Chris, Kate and 3 Drunk Monkeys

We put up a mini show of a collaborative project by Chris Searl and Kate Banazi this week.  It looks amazing right adjacent to reception.  Alice (big thanks to you Alice for your patience with my lack of hands-on skills) took a pic with our little placard and I took one to show how nicely the colourways go with the 3DM logo and the furniture!

Chris Searl for Bonds

February 5th, 2010 § 0

Recently we shot Hipster and Clothing campaigns for Bonds.  We’re now using Six Wolves for all our production and they’ve been amazing – thanks Adam and Kristen! Their blog is great.  Anyone considering a life in production should visit the site for a reality check. Production ain’t that glamorous!

Pania Rose was the female talent for the Clothing campaign.  How can you not love her?  Bonds and the Palace were thrilled with the result.  Chris’s work matched the brief perfectly with the style harking back to projects he had undertaken with Bonds via Monster Children.

Does bible have a capital B?  Anyhoo, here is Gen’s latest story for Ginza.  It was shot on film and it’s a story about this season’s fashion trends and what the popular stylists, models and “it” girls wore to the fashion shows.ginza2010

Here’s a project by Chris Mollison that is breathtakingly beautiful and complex yet deceptively simple to produce.  Chris indeed has a freakish mind.  He visualised and carried out this entire project on his own including many late nights of post production.  Thanks to Flower Atelier in Surry Hills for supporting Chris.

Montage and detail shots below.
