This started life as a standard pack shot brief, ubiquitous to the beer market: show the liquid perfection of a pint.
We decided not to use an expert pack shot photographer, and we decided not to shoot the pint. Instead we went to one of the world’s most dangerous waves – Teahupoo, in Tahiti. Here we recreated the iconic black and white Guinness ‘surge’ on an epic scale by going beneath Tahiti’s giant waves and capturing the moment the wave hits the reef, mimicking the raw power and beauty of a surging pint.
To do it, legendary surf photographer Brian Bielmann wedged himself between tons of pounding water and dark razor sharp reef and then – where few would be able to - held his nerve to compose shots that echo the black and white portrait of a pint of Guinness.
The photographs were for large format outdoor sites and were intended to capture every last epic detail of the liquid perfection of a surge and remind everyone about a unique beer that is truly “Made of More”.
Anybody who has ever owned a cat knows our feline friends have a range of weapons to deploy when they want to turn on the charm. A trembling little meow, a tilt of the head, imploring saucer eyes, or in the case of this video, a penetrating stare while guiding you (with it’s nimble paws) through the classic “Hungry Eyes”. No matter how they mesmerise us, the result is always the same, Resistance is Futile.

There are some things in life you just wouldn’t get between: a falling piano and the pavement, a lioness and her cubs, interns and the free food.
Getting between a lorry and a left turn is as much of a no-brainer as the others. It’s where a third of all cycling collisions happen.
Let’s face it. Cats have the upper paw. Sure we can pretend we’re in control, but everyone knows the real bosses walk on four legs not two. One flick of the charm switch and we’re putty in their paws. And when cats want Sheba, resistance is futile.
Writing and performing original music is a struggle. But the world would be a poorer place if no-one tried. Which is why Guinness created their "Amplify" gigs (designed to a up-and-coming acts a break). Our film for "Amplify" is a love letter to anyone who has ever tried to give life to their own artistic vision.
