Shine puts Rachel Maddow into Focus
Rachel may be in Covid quarantine but esteemed client SHINE is here to make sure we keep her in mind. Check out the first of a trio of spots promoting MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show just dropping from Michael Riley, Bob Swensen + the team at Shine, who just keep getting it done, the pandemic be damned !
Michael writes: "In each spot, we wanted to create an elegant visual tapestry that shows the world, in small ways and in big ways, exhibiting a particular characteristic that exemplifies Rachel’s approach to seeking the truth. For instance, she always does her homework, so we show the world doing theirs. Some are simple, mundane moments or larger, profound moments, everyday people or famous people.
The McKinney team envisioned these with an elegant score or track, and high energy. Some shots are moments of levity. Some include new footage, licensed footage, texture shots, present-day, historical...however best captured the activity. Each spot concludes with a clip from one of Rachel’s shows, in which she asks a question that highlights the action that the front part of the spot is focused on."
