Krass Optik - Scholz & Friends Germany

In this campaign, a glasses brand eschews the traditional means of making glasses seem cool, showing them off on a pouting model, and instead tries something different. The three spots show a teapot, a door handle and a pear all wearing Krass sunglasses and all looking disconcertingly animated. The strapline is: 'The glasses make the face.' Having picked up silver Lions at Cannes for four spots from an earlier stage in this ongoing campaign ('fan', 'water tap', 'fire extinguisher' and 'bike saddle'), Scholz & Friends has extended the theme with these new spots. A fun and memorable treatment for what can sometimes seem like a staid category.

These ads promote the 'eye toy', a camera that you can place above your TV to film yourself battling bad guys in PlayStation games. 'Billy's on TV!' an excited mid-west town cries, as they flock to his living room to see him in action. In a second spot, a sheriff points to the TV, points at Billy and says: 'If that's Billy, who's that?' Three other spots promoting the game Ratchet & Clank 2 blur the reality between real life and the game environment. The ads introduce weapons from the game, such as gravity boots and a tractor beam, into the real world where they cause complete chaos.
