Advert filmed on NCR


Recommended Posts

I would urge everyone to watch the "making of" video just below the advert.


It's safe to assume that the brief was to show that interparcel.com offers a web-based door to door parcel delivery service which is more convenient than going to the post office.


So they film a bloke going to the post office in the rain. Then they cut to a bloke in the warm indoors who does the same job with his laptop using interparcel.com.


The number of "creatives" involved: 2.


It's people like this who are in danger of giving advertising a bad name.

If they'll give me a consultancy fee -- I assume a few thousand will be the norm -- I'll tell them not to be so daft as to force potential customers to go through several passes of a quotation-getting routine to get any idea of their price structure.

At the beginning of the video, I think the row of shops on the right is around about where the pet shop is.


Bear in mind this was filmed a long time ago :)

I moved here in 1991 and I don't remember that shop/house, though admittedly my memory is crap :))


I remember a butcher, a newsagent, a cobbler and a Greek deli in North Cross Road, all of which have long gone.
