A fluid piece of choreography filled with heart-warming nuance takes the viewer on the nostalgic journey of an elderly couple’s dance in the new corporate spot for KFC by Ogilvy directed by Erik Van Wyk.
Seamless transitions form part of the subtle choreography, creating a magical blend of reality and wonder, enough for Sir Elton to bend his rules and allow the use of his timeless song.
Van Wyk, ‘It is about the love of two people who have spent their whole lives together. So it was important for technical not to overshadow humanity, but rather support it with a soft touch.’
