“Saying goodbye is different for everyone.”
A simple brief, but a potent one.
One that we wanted to do justice to.
A sprawling production across 4 locations and 3 shoot days. Merlin, Zest Advertising and Harrison Funerals, rallied together to produce this moving TVC about a sensitive topic.
A real team effort from logistics and co-ordination, to on location ingenuity and craft, to post production polish.
Thank you to Chezie and the team at Harrison Funerals for trusting us with your brand and message.
Special shout out to Merlin’s very own Charlie Barwa as “grieving daughter” in the waterfall scene! 🌻
And to our cinematographer Rob Henschke, who was cooking with fire all shoot. Looks mint mate. 🎥
And Ashley Pollard for the wonderfully written creative and excellent direction.
