advert Archives - Brick Fanatics

The creatives behind the LEGO ‘Drive what you love’ television spot have talked about what went into the new commercial. Producer Alexander Davis, Director David Mellor and VFX Supervisor Charlie Bayliss have discussed their work on the LEGO ‘Drive what you love’ television spot in a Shots feature. The advert was a collaboration between the LEGO Agency, director David Mellor and production company HighlyUnlikely. “This was a big deal for LEGO for a couple of reasons; it’s ‘cross-franchise’, so they’re combining vehicles from many different product lines in one ad, which is new territory. But it’s also a brand spot – there is no packshot and no naming of products - they just wanted an awesome, high-octane celebration of vehicles,” says Davis, highlighting the way different sets from different themes appear alongside each other. Bayliss notes that the advert needed to be part of the increased appeal to adult LEGO consumers. “The creative was fairly tight early on in terms of what it needed to be, including being appealing for both children and adults.” “With my experience in VFX I've been on the receiving end of both well-, but more often, badly-planned executions. This film relied so heavily on a seamless workflow from start to finish, we had to plan accordingly to avoid issues post shoot,” says Mellor.
