MTN ‘Summer’

IDIDTHAT Craft Awards December 2024 – View Showcase

CRAFT MENTION (EDITING CRAFT)
MTN ‘Summer’
Post Modern | William Kalmer

Awarded by Shane Forbes

Judge’s comment: ‘Special Craft Mention to William Kalmer at Post Moden for this one. Using stock is never easy or that fun but the way he has combined stock, shot footage and animation makes for a nice piece of craft. Re-watching I noticed more and more craft detail that I might have missed on the first watch. Solid. Please note* While I work at the agency that made this spot, I had no input or participation in this project whatsoever.’ – Shane Forbes, Executive Creative Director at TBWA Hunt Lascaris
