Channel One: Dogfight
Channel One’s new show ‘The Pacific’ is all about the battles fought between America, Japan and pacific nations during WWII. To coincide with the premiere of the show we recreated an impressive aerial dogfight using pyrotechnics, two Japanese planes and a New Zealand Kittyhawk. The stunt was a major hit. Thousands of people flocked to the beach to watch it, stopping traffic in the process, and it appeared in the national news several times.

When ideas meet money. Or when a client has budget and know-how enough to trust in it's Ad Agency creative work, wich is even rare! Congratulations to both Colenso BBDO and Channel One.
An award rather for Channel nine...Someone making your idea expensive wins you the award. Could say, they literally bought the award home.
orgasmic idea and unbelievable performance..
