Is that HD? Filmed on the same day as the Cogeco 'So Much To Choose' spot, 'What's Wrong With This Picture' details a common dilemma for anyone delving into the world of HD: You've done your due diligence and purchased your ultimate HD tv; bring it home, fire it up and...hey, that doesn't look like HD! What's missing? The answer is an HD receiver to bring the full experience of HD into your home.

The Chopper Team went to Burlington to meet with Harry and Adrian Voortman about producing some television spots for 2 of their new brands. Voortman wanted to gain more exposure in Eastern Canada and needed to mount a television campaign -- something they had never tried in Canada.

Chopper helped Voortman through the creative process of developing a campaign. The production budget was tight so creative had to be smart, simple and cost effective. Chopper handled all elements of production, shooting 30, 15 and 7 sec versions of both spots. Filming was done on location with DP Michel Bisson, csc. at the helm.

As for post-production Chopper's in-house HD facilities kept the finishing process streamlined and on budget.The results? A very successful entry into television advertising. "We have received a tremendous amount of attention and positive response from people having seen the commercials. You certainly made the whole project very smooth for us. Everything is very much appreciated." - Adrian Voortman, Voortman Cookies

So what is Orthomolecular Health you ask? This is precisely what Lift's comprehensive advertising campaign was to address. To quote Steve McCormick from Lift, "Orthomolecular medicine is a highly customized and personalized form of complementary healthcare, which aims to prevent and treat disease with substances that are natural to the body, such as vitamins, nutrients and minerals." This was 1 of 2 spots for the campaign. Even though we shot this overnight, the crew was kept wide awake with a constant supply of espresso!

This is the 2nd spot in the campagin for Orthomolecular Health. Pete O'Neil spent many late nights/early mornings creating this fingerprint of health!
