The Mill and Wieden+Kennedy Portland continue their kooky-comedy campaigns for Old Spice with 'Nightclub', part of a series of spots directed by Tom Kuntz of MJZ.
All is going well for the Mandroid as he works his charm on a young woman at a nightclub - until his face falls off. Alas, the woman doesn't flinch at his robotic shortcomings thanks to his 'spicy' scent.

Agency:
Wieden+Kennedy (Portland)
Campaign:
Mandroid
Creative director Tim Davies led his team in creating the unexpected ladies' man(droid). Using a real robot by Legacy Effects, the Mandroid was filmed in his environment with all interactions in-camera, making for a seamless end result.
Davies elaborates: "The robot was rigged to enable him to move his arms and walk, whilst his eye movements, eyebrows and mouth were remote controlled. His voice was pre-programmed so that his lips could move in-sync with what he was saying. With all this great live-action footage, we tightened up his performance and made adjustments to his facial expressions and lip-sync to bring out more of his character."
