Cut + Run?s Dan Swietlik recently edited a new campaign for California Lottery via BBDO/West. The campaign is about life?s activities contrasted for their upsides and downsides. The campaign consists of five spots, each centered on people suffering the consequences of taking chances with huge downsides. One depicts a man attempting to use the ?This is not a step? on a ladder to gain some more height to screw in a light bulb. The voiceover reads ?Upside? Eight more inches.? Downside? Full body cast.? Another depicts a couple running out of gas when the husband refuses his wife?s pleas to refuel on a deserted highway as coyotes howl in the distance. The voiceover reads ?Upside? Being right. Downside? Being eaten.? In all the spots the voiceover continues, ?Why not take a chance where the upside is millions of dollars and the downside is only a buck? The tag reads: ?SuperLOTTO Plus. Big upside.?
?The agency creatives -- Jim Lesser, Neil Levy, and Jason Roberts -- were excited about keeping these spots real and human since they?re about those forks-in-the-road that we all encounter every day,? notes Editor Dan Swietlik. ?The goal, and also the challenge, was to keep things subtle and not let them slip over the top. It?s easy to lose track of that after staring at the cuts, but the team stayed fresh and focused throughout the entire process.?
