The Campaign

We open with nature footage of a polar bear, and epic swelling music in the background. The viewer might easily assume this is the beginning of a nature documentary. As we see the polar bear looking around, the manly and calm VO says: "There are 10.000 polar bears left..." We cut to a new image of a widespread snowy fields, as the VO pauses. A man stands up and comes into the shot. The man, who also turns out to be the VO, is David Hasselhof! "But there is only 1 Hoff left in the world" We cut to the end shot, where we see our tagline: 'Save The Hoff: every view counts'
