John Frieda - A story about women experiencing euphoria in loving and embracing their hair and being bosses at the same time. John Frieda never disappoints in adding to the revolution of getting abundant, shiny, soft and bouncy hair. John Frieda is a brand that covers every hair type that is imaginary possible and for every occasion. It's luxury for your hair and what better than to express that through watching beautiful everyday women come to live by using John Frieda products. It's every women's dream to flaunt those locks and feel their best and these women have certainly achieved that.
This TVC had a massive production crew that came together to successfully execute the mission and vision of the brand and portray just what the brand does. The shoot took place in 2021 during the heartfelt pandemic. However, that did not seize the fire of this production. The locations were something special, where each location enhanced the character's setting and added to the mood and feel of each concept and what the products bring out in the person. Some of the most intriguing locations were:
The shoot took over four days and included a month's planning from start to finish and had the entire production crew getting involved in making sure the production operates at its best capacity. We even got an international cast from Uk and Portugal added to a local cast in South Africa to represent a diversity of females and hair that did all walks of life. The director Maxine Thaysen's vision for this TVC was magical and she understood the essence of the objective, along with the visual contribution and contextualization Rick Joaquim came up with shooting this correctly. There were so many hands in this project and each needs to be celebrated for their marvellous work, long hours and collaboration on such a visionary commercial. Here are some fun behind-the-scenes moments that capture the essence of the set perfectly.
