Walker wins audience award at Spotlight festival
With its «Flyboard Fishing» campaign, Walker struck a chord with the audience at this year’s Spotlight Festival.
At the anniversary edition of the 20th Spotlight moving image festival, the Zurich agency Walker won the audience category "TV & Video" and won gold. The in February 2016 The "Flyboard Fishing" campaign launched for Fisherman's Friend left two prominent audience favorites behind: The BVG campaign "Flyboard Fishing" for Fisherman's Friend. "All intentional" by Jung von Matt/Elbe and laughing horses by Grabarz & Partner for Volkswagen.
The video, created by Walker and produced by Cobblestone Hamburg, shows a fisherman diving bare-chested into the sea on a flyboard in the icy waters of the Arctic. A second fisherman on board a fishing boat blows into a long pipe, providing his colleague with the necessary steam. The film was shot on Mallorca in 40-degree sweltering heat with hydroflight athlete Lindsay McQueen in the role of the second fisherman, directed by Axel Laubscher. (hae)
