Silver Lining Pictures and London based director Harvey B Brown collaborated to create this endearing 30″ TVC for Ogilvy and the Unilever brand Ponds Silk Cream. Executive Producer Renier Ridgeway and his internationally assembled team met up in the home of Bollywood, Mumbai India to commence the task.

The commercial was shot through the beautiful eye of Cinematographer Franck Tymezuk (Melting Pot Agency, Paris) with production services in Mumbai facilitated by local heavyweight Bang Bang Films.

With the final copy airing in 9 different Asian territories, casting proved to be the biggest challenge. After extensive casting sessions Harvey and the agency brand team presented the perfect candidate to the client.

Smoke operator Stuart Wilson excelled in mastering the intricate skin tone work. The final audio mix including original music composition and sound effects, was produced by Morne Marias from Sound Surgeon Studios.
