But so I had this brilliant idea for a new pest control ad featuring ants in a boardroom, right? Well, turns out, ants don’t really take direction. It was like herding cats, except the cats were tiny, determined bugs with a mind of their own! Anyone else had a funny fail when trying to reach clients?
I totally get the ‘herding ants’ situation! Once, I tried filming a skit with cockroaches but they kept scattering off-set. Maybe a simpler approach, like using props for a playful effect, could help with directing these little stars. Have you thought about just using animations?
ants in a boardroom sound like a marketing goldmine; maybe next time, try a puppet show instead — at least puppets listen better… How do you plan to spin this into a win?
It sounds like you were cast in a really chaotic version of ‘Ants’ Got Talent.’ Maybe next time, you could hire a director who speaks fluent ant? I’d love to know how you plan to pivot this into a successful campaign.
larious idea! I once tried filming with crickets, but they wouldn’t stop chirping. Maybe consider indoor props or animation next time?
It’s like trying to have a board meeting with a bunch of hyperactive toddlers! Maybe you could try a themed video with animated ants instead — at least they’d follow your script. What’s your next plan to get the message across?
Sounds like a wild shoot! If only ants could be trained like a dog, huh? @nicks88, have you thought about bringing in an ant expert for a creative consultation?
