Blink and MPC in the New John Lewis TV Commercial
3Dup.com - May 05, 2010 - 10:28
Directed by Blink’s Dougal Wilson this Advert is a masterclass in telling a lifelong story in a mere 90 seconds without compromising on emotion and credibility. Add to this the in-camera trickery that gives the film it’s one-take feel and you have memorable framejuice.

It includes a series of ads that show a woman progressing through the key stages of her life from giving birth to becoming a grandmother, and how the John Lewis brand is a part at every stage.

They will feature a re-recorded version of Billy Joel’s "She’s Always a Woman", sung by the Guillemots.
