Nedbank

Nedbank - "Take Money Seriously"


An instalment of 5 thought provoking commercials from Nedbank with the accomplished line-up of Joe Public, Director Greg Gray from Romance FilmsAdam Bentel (DOP) from Joe Public and Chocolate Tribe. Nedbank asks whether you want a bank that takes your money through the latest sneakers, phone, perfume, car, and expensive drink or a bank that takes your money seriously? The ads were shot in various parts of Cape Town. For VFX and Animation, Chocolate Tribe did a lot of set enhancements and extensions.

We created the massive sandstorm that is looming towards the status car, the underwater world that threatens to engulf the lady of leisure, the jellyfish in the bar of illusions and holograms.  We crafted the phone animations that were mesmerizing, created the basketball, hoop and the fire that sets them all alight. Chocolate Tribe was in its element in creating the various worlds and illusions. Thoroughly enjoyed working on this.
