AWARDED BY IDIDTHAT

AWARDED: CRAFT MENTION (EDITING CRAFT)
Priest Post Production | Amelia Cohen
TOPS SPAR ‘Turn Up Epic’
IDIDTHAT Guest Judge: Suhana Gordhan, Chief Creative Officer of LoveSong
November 2025

Suhana’s comment: “I felt a special mention must be given to Tops Spar ‘Turn up Epic’ for editing. There are so many worlds in this story, and the editor leads you from one to the other with beautiful precision. It’s smooth and playful and keeps the energy up. The transitions deliver on whimsy and allow you to feel some curiosity instead of delivering too soon.”

AWARDED: BEST IN CRAFT (EDITING)
Priest Post Production | Matthew Swanepoel
Audi ‘The Outside Lane’
IDIDTHAT Guest Judge: Ernest Nkosi, Director at Bomb Commercials
September 2020

Ernest’s comment: “Matthew Swanepoel’s edit gives fluidity to the relationship of car and athlete, invoking the same emotion as if it was Wayde’s 400m race. The clever use of archive footage and well-timed music helps portray a parallel story of Wayde’s life adding an extra dynamic to the spot. The timing and tempo of the shot selections are slick and shows the number of hours and dedication to this piece. Congratulations to all involved, on a beautiful piece of work.”
