BEHIND THE SCENES: Shooting Madrid for New York C

BEHIND THE SCENES: Shooting Madrid for New York City ! Great locations, crews, food and culture in Madrid provide a foundation for a developed and elevated production experience. Working abroad can be both exciting and daunting. Thanks to compassrose.world & thesmile.tv for their partnership and local sherpa skills; we couldn’t have done it without you on this 5-day shoot. Director Tim Kendall, Producer Daniela Davenport, DP Sam Chase and 1st AD Chris Northup combined forces as our A-Team hitting the road for several weeks. The production of Bayer could not have gone any smoother thanks to great storytelling and production prowess of this Team. Thank you to Bayer and our fearless partners at Energy BBDO. Especially grateful to be partnered with the team on the ground: Jon Leachman, Dan McCormack, Jamie Harbron and the infectious and buttoned-up producer, John Paul Ward.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Spectrum on-location in Ennis, Texas We had a rockin’ good time with our marching band, fire eater, stilt walker, big rigs and acrobats. All you need to do is watch the "Big Announcement” by Spectrum on every channel all over the USA. Part of our pitch to win this job included moving the shoot from a Hollywood backlot to a small town where we could own the neighborhood. Thank you Ennis, Texas for hosting Spears & Arrows, Crow Creative and Spectrum. Photos by @elese.gab.arias

CARS, PERFORMANCE AND STUNTS! Spears & Arrows is

CARS, PERFORMANCE AND STUNTS! Spears & Arrows is excited to share our latest work for Dodge and GSD&M directed by Tim Kendall. We had a blast, literally and figuratively, creating part 2 of the “Talladega Nights” cross promo entitled “Life Lessons”, a follow-up to last year’s 'Family Motto”. The spot, set in Talladega in 1982 (if 1982 had a Dodge Durango), features Gary Cole reprising his role as Reese Bobby, who uses the road as his classroom as he drives son Ricky Bobby and his pal Cal Naughton Jr. to school in a Dodge Durango R/T Blacktop Tow N Go (Granite with Dual Carbon Stripes). The video also includes the 2021 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack Widebody (Sinamon Stick) and the 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody (White Knuckle with Satin Black hood). Enjoy the ride!

Behind the Scenes in Hollywood of our new Summer campaign for JCPenney! Director Don Broida and Spears & Arrows were thrilled to re-engage with our local LA crews and shoot in our backyard - literally and figuratively. In anticipation of the nation fully opening up, Broida crafted 5 original films for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day, July 4th and a JCP original Friends & Family. The emotions started on set collaborating with old friends and new friends. We can’t wait to share our joy, wonder and Americana with everyone thru our advertising artistry. Thank you, Josh Schoemaker, Candyce Vanterpool, Hwanhee Kang, Bertha Salazar with the incomparable and steadfast producing prowess of Kathleen Torres at the helm. #jcpenny
