Describe the creative idea
Campaign is designed to be aired mostly in Istanbul where it is known as a cat city. Awareness and responsiveness for these kinds of campaigns are the most effective in big cities such as Istanbul. That’s why we selected the one and only artist where you talk about percussion everybody calls his name in our city.
The campaign is exclusively designed for one of the most common problems of Turkey.
Especially Istanbul is known as a cat city. Over 130.000 stray cats live in Istanbul streets. When winter comes, these cats hide under the car hoods where it’s warm to protect from the cold. Unfortunately, when the car engines start, this mostly causes the death of these unsuspecting cats.
Although people know that they need to hit the hood before starting the engine, they usually forget this.
Describe the execution
To increase the realism of our film, we wanted to record the performance while it was shooting. Since it was worked with a percussionist who is very famous in the world, our recording apparatus had to be of the same quality. As a result of days of rehearsals, we were able to get the same performance from the improvised artist every time.
After these steps, for on-site recording, all four sides of the car, from the hood of the car to the wheel cavities, were fitted with audio equipment. Moreover, the location where the film set was very close to the airport. That’s why we had small intervals of fifteen minutes to shoot because of the taking off planes. Under the circumstances, we completed the recording without making our artist sick in an icy cold weather. Thanks to him, he shared his caravan with our little friends so our main and reserve cats wouldn't get cold.…
To increase the impact of the film and make it work in more cases, we left the release date open and put our film on air on the coldest day of the month. We have made sure that our brand owned animal rights in a way that is exactly needed, not just for show.
