Union & Resolution Break the Mold in New Jockey Ad

Nearly naked is not the ideal way to make a run for it...but in this new ad for Jockey, directed by Marcus Nispel and edited by Jay Friedkin of Union, with VFX by resolution, a guy and girl have no other choice.

The highly stylized spot imagines a futuristic way-station where people are moved assembly-line style through a chamber that eliminates their individuality and turns them into mindless clones. One man stands alone, stepping "Out of Line" with his girlfriend, and fighting for his right to express himself - and to don the underwear of his choice.

For Friedkin, the project is a continuation of his longtime association with Nispel and comes on the heels of a 4-spot Lifetime Fitness campaign with agency Periscope. "There was that degree of comfort and trust that always makes things go better in the edit," he notes. "Everybody feels free to explore ideas beyond the original boards to see how we can kick this thing up as many notches as possible in the transition from paper to film to final spot."

Friedkin added that, as the spot is a branding piece, the team was able to display a bit of attitude without being limited to showcasing the product. "How often can you make breasts grow without a medical degree, get a chuckle, and make a bit of social commentary at the same time?"

"The spot lets color say a lot about how these characters are perceived," says VFX Supervisor/Senior VFX artist Todd Iorio. "To that end, Marcus shot with very strong colors and gels. The resulting footage was very stylized and in telecine we took it even further, accenting the 'Ken and Barbie' look by giving them separate color passes. This can be a slippery slope, but in this case it led to a look that was very effective in the context of the spot." resolution also accentuated steam and smoke with CG and plates, and added light cues to drive home the factory feel of the spots.

Hi there wondered if anyone on here has ever tried Gaspari Size On? Ive been looking at ordering some from this place london muscle which seems pretty good but have never used them and havent had any reviews anyone ever used them? Thanks!

Hi there, fab site! Does anyone on here use maximuscle supplements? Im thinking about buying some Maximuscle Viper From London Muscle but have never used them, a friend recommended them said the postage was good and that but ive never used maximuscle stuff before. Any views?

I don't like being under someone elses thumb. I'm very supportive of other female artists, especially those trying to make their own statement... trying to do what they want instead of being someone else's Barbie doll.

I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.

How do I add this to my RSS reader? I am sorry I am a novice :(

Thanks for sharing this. I need to find out more information about it.

Hey, very nice homepage ! Could you tell me the title of your design per mail?

I have been looking for a nice remedy to help me get to sleep too. Melatonin has bad side effects. I read about Calms Forte 4 Kids. That link goes to a review. You think its as good as they say?

Thank you for a great post

I opine that to get the lowest-rate-loans.com from banks you ought to have a great reason. Nevertheless, once I have received a commercial loan, because I wanted to buy a house.
