Such awesome news to kick off our Friday! Congrats to the exceptionally talented team behind this piece 😃

“That Which Binds Us Together Is Greater Than That Which Drives Us Apart.”

Often in news reports, victims of xenophobic violence are referred to as ‘Foreign Nationals’ or we hear about the “number of people that have been displaced by these attacks” rarely do we get to see the faces and lives affected by these crimes. Rarely do we get see that we are one." - Seriti Films.

The new Official Brand South Africa TVC took 2nd place at the CreativeCircle SA awards this month. Ludus is proud to have offlined and onlined the project for The Odd Number. Seriti Films' Ernest Nkosi directed this remarkable film, which was produced by Jhadi Quinn. Nick Gishen offline edited and Michael Naidoo onlined the film. The sound design was done by audio engineer Sean Williams of Sterling Sound Studios.

Congrats to all involved with this amazing TVC - we're super grateful to have been a part of this great team. You guys did South Africa proud with your Silver & Bronze Lions at this year 😃

As a studio with a soul, we take pride not only in producing effective, creative advertising, but also putting love into the projects we feel strongly about. Our latest example is this striking anti-xenophobia ad for Official Brand South Africa by Seriti Films/Ernest Nkosi, with sound design and final mix done by Sean Williams. It was an honour to be part of its creation, and we hope it resonates as strongly with you as it did with us.
