Producing retro ads for Funding Circle with Henry Pollock

Fintech and SME funding platform, Funding Circle, teamed up with England Rugby legend Henry Pollock to launch their latest competition “The Pitch”, inviting UK businesses the chance to win a professionally produced advert.  

Working with The Romans, we produced Funding Circle’s own ‘professional’ advert full of humour, vintage animation and 80’s salesman cheese. We directed and shot Henry against a green screen before taking the project through post production. We combined static effects and carefully selected stock backgrounds designed to amplify the undercooked aesthetic. 

The result is a playful promotional film for use across social platforms. We had fun with this one.
