OVERVIEW

Description

Since this branded entertainment case is an experiential event there are no imposed restrictions. Except of course the normal ethical ones.

Execution

The new dramatic piece “A dramatic surprise on an ice-cold day”, shot in the small town of Dordrecht on January 17th, also features the now famous red button as its centerpiece. When innocent passers-by couldn’t resist pushing it, pure TNT drama unfolds with an extra ‘engaging’ twist in a form of surprisingly close participation from the public. The chosen approach aimed to connect a new TV channel (TNT) and its specific offering (DRAMA) in the minds of people. So when they're in for some good drama, they will absolutely remember the dramatic series of events when pushing the “push to add drama”-button. The live stunt was filmed with 7 cameras. Afterwards the film was put on YouTube to extend the conversations and make this TV channel launch more shareable.
