Sticky Solution

Working for the Latin American super glue brand Resitol, Boxer Films Director Rodrigo Garcia Saiz maintains a rhythmic hold on Chinese decor in “Jarron Chino (Chinese Vase)” l out of Young & Rubicam, Worldwide.
Executed entirely in-camera, the starkly elegant spot features an abstract representation of a Chinese vase upheld by synchronized dancers moving in its center. Their fluid movements are interrupted by a bouncing red ball that damages the dancers’ formation, only to be magically mended upon the ball’s disappearance. The visuals are supported by the gentle notes of an erhu instrument, in keeping with the Asian aesthetic.
“With the agency’s concept being so elegant and simple, I thought the best way to realize it was in-camera,” says Garcia Saiz. “It took many rehearsals and careful choreographing, but I’m very pleased with the results.”
