Behind the Scenes video on the "No Awkward Stuff" campaign

Mona Vale Dental's "No Awkward Stuff" campaign produced by leading Sydney video production company Global Pictures, deliver the all too familiar truth about the yesteryear of visiting the dentist!



The campaign, which consists of two 15 second video ads will roll out with a geographically targeted digital campaign consisting of premium websites. The method, known as Contextual Advertising is a key driver in lead generation for local businesses looking for new and innovative yet affordable advertising.


Acting as the creative agency and the production company, Global Pictures produced the video ads from concept to completion, developing the theme "No Awkward Stuff" specifically to meet the client's needs. Producer, Director and Cinematographer Ben Kumanovski talks us through the process of creating the video ads:



The brief for the project was to highlight all of the new technology and modern ways of doing things that Mona Vale Dental have to offer to make the patients experience more comfortable. So with consultation with the client, creatively we came up with the idea for the "No Awkward Stuff" campaign.


We wanted to build a set that presented a really outdated 1970's looking dental practice that looked like no one had spent a dollar on the place for the last 50 years, and then we wanted the video to contrast that with the light, bright, perfect, modern practice at Mona Vale Dental.


The brown walled set that we used, which had that really retro look to it, was originally a boxing gym. We took all of the gym equipment out and then brought in all these different medical and dental set props to create this old fashion dental surgery.



For casting, we intentionally picked an older actor to play the dentist. It was really important that he looked like he was past retirement age and outdated. It was also really important that our patient looked a lot younger, rather baby faced, innocent and super expressive in his facial expression on video so that when the needle went into his mouth he looked like he was really in pain. This is what makes the video funny, as well as relatable to people. That's what the "No Awkward Stuff" campaign is all about.


Something unique about this project is that these video ads will be used in a digital campaign. The video ads will be used in contextual media on premium websites and each video ad will be geo-targeted to only appear within a certain radius of the business. Therefore, local people interested in a local dental surgery can find Mona Vale Dental.
