Well done Billy

tenthree was out in full force last night to support Billy at the British Arrows Craft Awards, and it was well worth the trip as he picked up a silver in in the Best Edit category for Sainsbury's 'Christmas in a Day'.

Malteasers

How do you eat your Malteasers? Chewer? Chocolate sucker then cruncher? Or maybe you roll it down your elizabethan ruff and into your gob like these girls. Directed by Ric Cantor at Hungryman and edited by Billy.

Diet Coke

What if? It's a question we've all asked ourselves. But you won't see these single independent ladies rueing missed opportunities, they're grabbing life by the proverbials because they drink Diet Coke and watch The Only Way Is Essex. DARYL at Pulse teamed up with Dom for these idents to sponsor the launch of ITVBe, ITV's new lifestyle channel.

Iceland

If you're about to book another boring beach holiday to Spain or a city break to New York. Stop! Stop right there and watch this beautiful film for Iceland Tourism celebrating all that the country has to offer. Shot over 2 hair raising weeks of snow storms and adventures the brilliant directing duo of Ed Lovelace and James Hall aka DARYL and a skeleton crew travelled to the farthest reaches to uncover some incredible characters and breathtaking hidden gems off the beaten track. All the while Billy, ably assisted by Dom, was holed up editing from the warmth of his makeshift Reykjavik edit base. Inspiring stuff I think you'll agree.

Three - We're Sorry

High Five's in order to Bill for his cut in Three's latest campaign. The ad features a heartfelt apology for all the beach selfies and hot dog legs we have innocently received this summer, whilst shivering in our air-conditioned offices. It's a brave way of promoting Three's new feature and the press is having a field day!

Don't stop the press!

Seems the 'Labour Party broadcast' Billy cut with director Ric Cantor is getting some serious press, plus Ad of the day on Shots!

Dementia Friends

Many people find dealing with a condition such as Dementia very difficult. That's why there are charities like 'Dementia Friends' that are here to help build an understanding and a support group to help those with the condition. The 'Dementia Friends' campaign from Public Health England and Alzheimer’s Society aims to show that people with Dementia can still live fulfilling and rewarding lives with a little help, understanding and kindness from those around them. Together with Mat Whitecross as director and a bunch of England's best-known celebrity faces showing their support, tenthree has helped cut this spot to encourage people to become a Dementia Friend to help people live well for longer.

The Possibilities Are Endless

It's not that often we get serious on the tenthree blog but Billy just finished work on an incredibly powerful and moving film about singer Edwyn Collins by D.A.R.Y.L. It will be premiered at SXSW so we can't say too much at the moment apart from WOW but watch this space http://www.thepossibilities.co.uk/

Happy Pay Day

Pay Day. It literally is pay day today. The last day of the month when everyone goes out after work and thinks they're a weekend millionaire. This is the topic for FRED & NICK's latest work as they follow four very different lives. The film is given a mystical feel by the narration of George The Poet. You may never think of Croydon the same way again. Here is the trailer, cut by Billy and the full film is on Channel 4, Monday 10th Feb, 11pm.

  

Sainsbury's - Christmas In A Day

Christmas started a long time ago here at tenthree when Billy and the team received the Christmas In A Day rushes. This came in the form of an extensive library of home videos sent in by families all over Britain documenting their 2012 Christmas. By this time the feature length film was already wrapped up (oops) but it was our task to go through all the clips that had been sent in and pick out the moments that best depicted the story of Christmas and make it work in a series of ads. It was a unique experience to get an insight into lives of families and individuals at this festive, and for many, treasured time of the year. We hope it gets you in the mood!.....for Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Dr Martens - Ash

This was one of our favourite jobs at tenthree last year and we've had to wait over 6 months to see the finished film. Shot over a day in Manchester, the film follows British model Ash Stymest and his crew - featuring models Todd Taylor and Adwoa Aboah - in true gritty Dr Martens style. Stymest narrates the film, sharing his thoughts on love, life and growing up. It's a beautiful, raw piece of film-making and it wouldn't surprise us if Ash makes it as an actor, as the film will show you, he's a natural in front of camera.

Lions Tour 2013 - Jim Telfer Parody

It's nearly time for the British Isles finest Rugby players to put aside their Six Nations differences and join forces as the British and Irish Lions. Possibly the most memorable moment from the Lions 100 year plus history is not the Jeremy Guscott drop goal, the "999 call" or the spear tackle on Brian O'Driscoll but a speech by Jim Telfer. In this video for Tourism Australia, Ben Quinn and Billy painstaking recreate Telfer's legendary 1997 speech.

The video, posted on YouTube shows Jim Telfer rallying UK fans to travel down under to support their team on the British & Irish Lions Tour in June, has racked up more than 50,000 views in a week and been shared on social media by ex England captain Will Carling and former rugby union stars Brian Moore and Will Greenwood.

Match.com - Meet Florence

The naysayers may say January is the most depressing month of the year but here at tenthree we think new year, new start. What better way to start the year than by finding love. In the latest campaign from Match.com Fred & Nick once again team up with Billy to document real Match users' quest for love. So meet the wonderful Florence, she's single - god knows why - and ready to mingle.

Weight Watchers

There's no hiding the fact that most of us will enjoy the gastronomic delights that Xmas has to offer and binge eat over the festive period. If you don't, you're boring....there I said it. We then spend the whole of January trying to shed those extra handles of love by dieting and abstaining from alcohol, then congratulating ourselves for doing so well. Its boring behaviour and frankly it's unnecessary. Maintain a healthy diet all year round and you can afford to treat yourself once in a while! But don't take it from me, listen to Gregg Wallace and Penny Haslam, they're the real heroes!

In the latest series of spots for Weight Watchers, shot by Fred & Nick, Gregg and Penny showcase their new slender figures, which they attribute to a balanced and controlled diet. Their new plans even allow them a chocolate pud once in a while and we all know how much Gregg likes a pud!
