I just spoke to Nathalie Le Berre at Quad Productions London, who tells me that Lee and Dan of volkswagen polo viral ad fame have just been signed to them.
"It's a perfect fit for us really, we also have Remy Belvaux who made the film Man Bites Dog, and they'll get along like a house on fire, we thought we must get these guys onboard. We are very happy they have joined Quad London as a directing duo, because we think they are just brilliant, and have the same sense of humor that we have."
Lee and Dan will be available for commercial shoots, viral or not, as well as traditional agency work as they both come from an ad agency background. "It's what they are good at and enjoy doing."
Quad Productions is a European production company with offices in Paris and London. Directors with them include Bruno Aveillan who is known for bigger more complicated jobs like the Bailey's ads forBBH and the Thermasilk ads for JWT New York, Frank Devos who did Zazzoo and Hansaplast, Stephane Levallois who directed the short film 'Carcan' in which a super fit girl in a leather catsuit strips off her suit to slowly reveal she has a fat body...
For Graphics they work with Digital Kitchen who are an American collective for a mix live action/animation/graphics as well as doing broadcast design, they have done Six Feet Under & the Nip Tuck opening sequences. Quad London is run by producer/MD Ben Mann.
So. Lee and Dan. You've found a new home. So what's next for you guys? A gas attack in Tokyo? No, I'm kidding. Best of luck to you both.
