Commercials From Down Under
by Deb Mayo
28 April, 2008

Like advertising the world over, marketing in Australia and New Zealand continues to evolve across all media platforms.  TV adverts keep the local production and post production companies busy, not to mention the increasing popularity of cinema releases from both regions.  And as the advertising marketplace gives rise to the internet, so too are the production companies following suit.

It is by far the creativity and intelligence of the populations, coupled with rich, historical tapestries that keep advertisers seeking out talents ‘down under.’  Whether clients are from local or foreign shores, the multitude of production offerings that can be found in Australia and New Zealand are impressive.  The versatility of the regions, the professionalism of the people, and both country's array of comprehensive resources has earned favorable recognition in the advertising world.  Add to the mix stellar locations and robust cultures and traditions, and you too, will be asking yourself why you haven’t shot there…yet

To help you get in the mood – and to possibly prepare yourself for yet another experience of a lifetime, SourceEcreative has compiled an array of recent commercials shot in the region.  As you plan your next shoot in Australia or New Zealand, we know our sponsors – Filmgraphics, The Sweet Shop, Flying Fish, Renegade Films, and The Guild of Commercial Filmmakers – will be more than happy to meet all your production needs!
