All Right Now is more than just the soundtrack - it captures the spirit of the latest AA Membership spot, directed by Lee Parker-Stapleton with creative by Quantum Jump Ltd.
Lee reimagined the car as an extension of home, woven together with everyday sounds - the groan of the handbrake, warning dings, door clicks, and flashing lights - into a rhythmic, percussive journey, all underscored by that unmistakable anthem. Riding along is Ray, a custom AA bobblehead Roadside Officer, brought to life by the talented team at Mukpuddy Animation.

We are thrilled to welcome Johnny Barker to the Eyes and Ears Director roster!
What can we say about Johnny?! He’s sharp, funny, and has an uncanny knack for spotting the visual or story beat that makes a piece sing - with just the right amount of mischief.

We’ve turned 10 YEARS OLD today! What a journey it’s been! 🎉🎬

We’ve grown from a 2-person team to a powerhouse of 11, filmed across Asia, Australia, and all over Aotearoa, and produced everything from brand videos to national ad campaigns to award-winning TV shows. All while staying true to our mission: creating content with humour and heart.

Our clients know us for delivering high-production-value videos with insane efficiency, collective smarts, and next-level adaptability.

Our goal? To make our clients and crews' lives friction-free.

And now, we’re expanding creative possibilities even further. We’re thrilled to welcome three new directors to our roster - each bringing their own style while sharing our ethos and vibe:

Johnny Barker . Sophie Black . James Anderson . Lee Parker-Stapleton . Calvin Sang

This means more creative opportunities for us - and for you. Check out their work via https://www.eyesandears.co.nz/directors/

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next 10 years - we can't wait to continue to push the creative boundaries and deliver exceptional work. Together.
