The Works Celebrate Another Successful Cannes

Post Production Company, The Works, experienced yet another successful year at the 2012 Cannes Lions. By far, the biggest winner for the company was BBH London’s work for The Guardian ‘Three Little Pigs’ (http://bit.ly/PERC6L). Shot by Rattling Stick’s Ringan Ledwidge and edited by The Works, Rich Orrick, the commercial won a Gold ‘Film’ Lion, a Gold ‘Film Craft for Art Direction and a Silver Lion for Direction, Editing, Sound, Production Value and Script. 

 

Success for Orrick did not end there; in fact, it appears that his collaboration with Rattling Stick’s Ledwidge is in fact a winning combination. The pair went on to receive a Silver Lion for Film with their work ‘Life Story’ for UK charity Barnardo’s (http://bit.ly/PERC6L) and a Bronze Film Lion for ‘I would run to you’ for Nike (http://bit.ly/PERC6L). 

 

Other members of The Works team also received recognition - Editor Rachael Spann’s cut for Harvey Nichol’s ‘Walk of Shame’ (http://bit.ly/u4sLNb) won a Silver Film Lion and a Bronze in the Film Craft for Best Productive Value. Shot by James Rouse for DDB London, this small budget commercial has been an unexpected star at this year’s award shows, receiving recognition on either side of the Atlantic. Overall, The Works were shortlisted for 12 more additional projects and held a record number of entries into the festival.
