Plymouth student produces Bluebeards Revenge ‘extreme’ TV commercial

Posted by Nick Gibbens on March 28, 2011 · Posted in Bluebeards TV, Manly things, Train Hard Shave Easy 

A talented student from Plymouth University has directed and produced a TV style commercial for The Bluebeards Revenge.

Simon Maurer filmed the excellent video as part of a University project, where he had to work with a commercial partner to produce an eye-catching advert that would be suitable for the TV.

His video forms part of our ‘Train Hard Shave Easy’ online advertising campaign, and features two young actors, one who takes part in extreme sports like rock climbing and mountain-boarding, and another who has a shave with The Bluebeards Revenge.

Marketing manager for The Bluebeards Revenge, Nick Gibbens, praised Simon’s efforts.

”Bluebeards TV is our platform for free speech and we are delighted to use it to showcase up and coming film producers like Simon,” he said.

“Simon’s finished video fully embraces what our brand is all about, manly, extreme, different, ballsy but above all, funny and light-hearted.”

Simon, who studies Media Arts at Plymouth University, said he was pleased with the finished product, adding that he had enjoyed the experience.

“I really enjoyed producing an advert for The Bluebeards Revenge. It was a nice experience for me and of course I have learned a lot. I like the fact that BBR is extreme and different than the normal shaving brands,” he explained.

”Of course as a student I am not a professional, nevertheless it was a nice experience to work with a professional company. I think the finish advert fits with the brand, even if it could be nicer visually, but I think the message is strong. So to all the Real Man out there: Go for Bluebeards Revenge: You will not regret it!!”

Simon’s creative video takes inspiration from our professionally executed ‘Train Hard Shave Easy’ boxing themed commercial (produced by Mark Hatton).

This stars rugby player Sacha Harding, who became the face of The Bluebeards Revenge following our high-profile national campaign to find Britain’s ‘Manliest Man.

The tongue in-cheek film short shows Sacha finishing a training session in the boxing ring, where two bikini-clad beauties try to distract him from a post-training shave. The black-and- white ad ends with an unexpected twist, which you can see for yourself at: http://youtu.be/0bLlslwWPxg.

Calling all up and coming film producers

Could you create a spoof TV advert, news item, piece of artwork or perhaps an “Infomercial” and load it up to Bluebeards TV?

There are no real rules – be as creative and insubordinate as you like. All we ask is that you incorporate The Bluebeards Revenge concept, logo and “couldn’t give a flying fig” and “cobblers to the lot of you meddling sonsabitches!” approach to life.
