Asda ‘Spring’s Our Thing’
Dirty Films, nineteentwenty and Saatchi and Saatchi are proud to present a new Easter campaign for Asda and George, encouraging us to ‘do our thing’ this Spring – and make the most of their seasonal offers.
Dirty’s Eli Sverdlov’s ever-playful and colourful direction together with Michael Coulter’s (Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually) rich and inviting cinematography brings us a visual and culinary feast. With help from 90s dance floor beat-makers, Basement Jaxx, you’ll be feet tapping and finger clicking around an Asda store in no time…
Collaborating with nineteentwenty VFX and Anarchy SFX, our dancing ‘Daff’ is a real mover and shaker, full of pizazz. Spring is ‘Daff’s’ time to shine, and he’s making the most of this most treasured Sunday occasion.
The film centres on a floral master of ceremony, our dancing ‘Daff’. Perfectly placed at centre stage, ‘Daff’ conducts his orchestra of surrounding table-ware: plates, glasses, cutlery, napkins and salt and pepper shakers, to perform a playful, care-free celebration of the family’s Sunday roast – a type of loved, encouraged, weekly ritual.
