ONYAs videos – Kids run the office
3 comments, Published in Us on by Luke Pierson
The organisers of this year’s ONYAs required finalists to produce a short video introducing their entries. Or in our case, three videos – one for each of the three nominations we received.
Despite friendly warnings not to craft full-blown masterpieces – the instructions said shoot on iPhone – we couldn’t resist upgrading to DSLR and HD and hiring a full cast of actors. Well… kids… and with an average age of four years and six months.
We had a broad plan, some deliciously complex phrases to trip up young tongues and a few sticky treats to tease them with. But no hope of overall control.
It was a fantastic afternoon for everyone – and a hell of an overnight edit to get the three blighters (the videos, not the children) off to Webstock. But the effort was truly worthwhile. They went down brilliantly at the ONYAs ceremony. We’ve had a pile of requests to get them up on the blog so… here they are. Enjoy!
