With over a 100 statues of his own (show off!), who better to judge this month’s iDidTht Craft Awards than CCO at TBWA Hunt Lascaris and Creative Circle Chairperson (drum roll please), the legendary Peter Khoury! And as we always say, just keep calm and Khoury on!
Check out all the winning work from our iDidTht companies that won at the first ever Ciclope Africa Awards last night. The awards recognise craft excellence in moving image and we couldn't be prouder/more hungover. Congrats you sexy bunch!
Wanna see the actual work that won? Now you can! iDidTht showcases all the work that the Creative Circle selected as the best of the best at the 2017 Annual Awards held last week. Because most of us are too busy creating even more kickass work, collecting grey water or even just facing upcoming corruption trials, we gathered all the winning work, which means you can find out more about each company involved.
We’re kicking off 2018 with a throwback to 2017 by celebrating the best craft of the year. iDidTht's Monthly Craft Awards showcase the very best by production companies in SA. Here are the top 13 ranked companies of the year. So stop googling ‘What is Bitcoin’ and rather check out which production companies kicked ass, including all the Best of Reel and Special Mentions awarded by the industry's leading creatives.
The December's Craft Awards were judged by the legendary Cameron Watson. If you Google ‘Cameron Watson’, you get everyone from a Scottish Australian football player, an actor from the series Dynasty to the Creative Director at King James. The first two will forever live in the third’s shadow, shame... Thanks for gracing us with your presence Cameron Watson, we are in awe! Congratulations to all the winners.
Chief Creative Officer at FCB Joburg, Ahmed Tilly, judges this month's SA Film Reel. His no-ego approach to the industry is almost as impressive as all his awards. A virtual standing ovation for Ahmed! 👏🏽 😘
We caught up with agency creative turned badass commercials director Dani Hynes, who shared her psychological analysis of The Loeries, her legendary party trick and even divulged her Google search history (because we forced her to). It’s everything you didn’t know you needed to know.
Zwelakhe Zee Tshabangu, Founder and ECD at The Make Beautiful Agency, awards iDidTht’s best in film craft for July. Zee is an industry leader in taking selfies, dropping swagger, dressing fly and being a multi-award winning creative. An honour to have you Zee!
Brendan Hoffmann awards iDidTht’s best in film craft for June. The Hoff is an industry leader in raising kids and being an all round kind and gentle family man… Oh and he happens to also be a multi-award winning creative badass! An honour to have you Hoffers.
All the kickass iDidTht companies that seriously brought it at Cannes this year. Congratulations you sexy bunch, we bow down! #TeamSA
iDidTht is following the results as they happen. Check in to see how South Africa is doing at Cannes 2017.
Between directing and cross-dressing, this Russian still finds time to go on Tinder and sew. It’s everything you never knew you needed to know.
Every month we showcase the stand-out work that companies on iDidTht are doing. Apart from just bragging about it (which is very important), it's work that’s actually being featured at local and international award shows and that industry leaders have awarded on the SA Film Reel. It’s the work you should know about…
Multi-award winning Steph van Niekerk awards this month’s best in film craft by Production Companies. She’s a small person so you may not always see her entering a room, but don’t mess with her because she’ll throw SA’s first (and only) TV and Cinema Gold One Show statue at you.
Liam Wielopolski, Chief Creative Officer at DDB South Africa, awards the best in film craft by Production Companies this month. He was ranked number 3 Chief Creative Officer at the recent Loeries rankings, but more importantly, his Avi on Twitter is an egg, he has 11 followers and his one and only tweet reads: “First tweet, yehaa!’’ - that was back in June 2011… When Liam’s not strategically questioning and undermining the conventions of social media, he’s an industry leader and you need to take note of what he rates as South Africa’s best. We’re honoured to have you Liam…yehaa! 😉
Suhana Gordhan, Creative Director at FCB Johannesburg, awards the best in film craft by Production Companies this month.
