Merc A/W 2012

As the British indian summer drew to a close in November 2011 and the skies were awash with a gorgeous autumnal glow, Dingo Bill Productions spent three fun days with the marketing team of the classic British clothing label Marc. The outcome: this beautiful film for their upcoming A/W 2012 collection.

Garnier: Ultralift - Meet the Ultralift Challengers

Originally commissioned to create an online film as a companion to the TV campaign, we met and interviewed Davina McCall and the real women behind the latest Garnier commercial.

Several weeks later, when our cut was ready, an incredibly enthusiastic response from both the agency and the client (and even their focus groups) saw us asked for it to be recut as a TV Commercial to feature in their full TV campaign.

Launching on Monday November 14th, this commercial debuted during Coronation Street, to an audience of just over 9 million viewers - Dingo Bill's biggest audience to date.

Toni & Guy: Create The Look...

Working with uber-agency JWT, for the past six months we have been creating this incredible series of How To films to accompany Toni & Guy's mammoth global product launch.

These How To films broke the mould and removed the stylist from the equation, giving a personal approach to hair styling to coincide with Toni & Guy's September 2011 product launch; seventeen film companions to their global print campaign.

All of the films can be seen on their website hairmeetwardrobe.com, whilst our favourite two can be seen below:

Future Excitement.

The blog may not have been updated for a while, but that doesn't mean there aren't some serious adventures in filmmaking happening behind the scenes.

We're currently working on a series of hot fashion films for Toni & Guy with the fantastic ad agency JWT, a rather fun online promo for Martini with the guys over at Lux Monkey and we even have our roving doco-director, Jennifer Fearnley, hitting the dirt in Nigeria and Ethiopia, working with the British Government on a series of research documentaries with London research agency Face.

Of course, all of these and more will be live on the blog as soon as their published, but for now, you can be sure, the Dingos are working!

Heineken: One Million Hugs

After receiving one million 'Likes' on Facebook, Heineken thought they should return the compliment, one 'like' at a time.

Within its first 72 hours online, the film itself had already generated over 20,000 views, 300 comments and 2,600 'Likes' of its own.

UPDATE: In its first seven days on YouTube the film had more than 50,000 hits; reaching 130,000 hits by the end of the third week.

Railway Children: TV Commercial

Broadcast alongside Channel 4's Dispatches on homeless children, this 30 second commercial was shot one evening on the streets of London on a micro-budget with a super quick turn around, but really shows the beautiful results you can get from shooting on a Canon 5D even when you have a crew of only two.
