Image from http://www.emergingyouths.com/entertainment/67-cool-stuffs/211-vodafones-latest-ad-sensation-qzoozooq.htmlIndian advertisement has come a long way. Well, there are quite few senseless ones - like the Clinic Plus shampoo. The cricket coach asks the girl's mother "What if her hair gets damaged?" What the heck!!! I wonder where have all these creative media person vanished? But this particular piece is brilliant, hits the nail at the right spot.
These little characters with a large head, tiny limbs and a huge belly laughing out captures the audience. I would bet there would be not one person who does not like it. They are called ZooZoos, they are so lovable, cute and charming; innocent folks laughing and making fun, naive and simple. The concepts are so brilliant that they perfectly compliment to the service/product they are advertising about.
These ZooZoos are the star in their own right. A great success amongst many advertisements which features celebrities, extravagant settings; yet fail to capture the audience. This fine piece with just ZooZoos, bland and simple backdrop but brilliant concept has captured every one's heart. Be it the ZooZoo teasing a crocodile with a fish(Missed Call service) or the one in which a ZooZoo shares its shower with another(Chota Credit).

The supposedly animated look was an illusion that was created to be intentional.

The crux here was the ability to communicate effectively with an unconventional idea and it struck gold.
I have not seen the ad. The way you described in the blog tells me it must be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou must not miss these set of ads for anything else! Miss the match but not the ad.
ReplyDeleteJust now I saw these ads in the YouTube. They are hilarious. One of those rare commercials where you want the ads to go on for a longer time instead of the program they are sponsoring.
ReplyDeletehiiii
ReplyDeletethis zoozoo idea is of O&M and is filmed by nirvana films. the commercials are shot in capetown (SA) and 3 in a day !! this is not animated rather there are real pple inside, the expressions are carved using rubber masks :)

ReplyDeleteYou said you have a crush on the Zoozoos. One more trivia is that they are real people who are professional ballet dancers - women and children
