ELAVE EXPOSES IT HAS NOTHING TO HIDE WITH PRODIGY'S NAKED VIRAL SPOT
Elave has exposed its controversial new viral campaign which parodies every cosmetics and personal hygiene ad that uses a laboratory setting with one revealing twist - everyone from the presenter to the lab technicians to the research subjects are completely naked. Elave states its products are chemicalfree; therefore they have nothing to hide!
The audience is first welcomed to the Elave Institute, and then taken on a tour of its sophisticated and clinical surroundings. As we’re led through the highly stylised laboratory, we’re instructed on the chemical-free nature of the Elave range. Diagrams are drawn, water is tested, slides are inspected – all by a completely nude research staff. A staff who - along with the presenter and the product range – have no qualms at all in showing that they have “nothing to hide”.
The risqué campaign directed by Brendan Donovan of Prodigy NZ strongly reinforces the message that Elave’s products contain no worrying irritants or chemicals that may be linked to serious skin conditions.
Says Donovan: “Elave is a high-grade parody with some great dead-pan performances, a few very shapely breasts, and a couple of mighty large wangers. Thanks to our very brave cast, and a dedicated crew who managed to perform the entire job with their eyes shut”.

Grant - I couldn't help but sense a tone of sarcasm is your words. Just for once it would be nice to see something posted on here without some arrogant twat tearing the idea down. Envy is a smelly cologne Grant, and you’re soaking in it.

8.22 - maybe you should make a comment on the work then, and not me. Yes, I am a bitter, lonely, hack, but that doesn't make that viral funny or shocking. Nicely made though.

I have a suspicion it was made by Saatchi Auckland.

On David Colquhoun's (Technical Director and Programmer for the Nothing to Hide website) website it says it was done for Saatchi News Zealand.
Good work Saatchi - very nice.

If saatchi was responsible you can kinda understand why they're not putting they name to it as they would have a massive conflict of interest with an all ready established world wide client (P&G olay)
