    Crocs ignites the Holi Spirit: Unveils new campaign

    Mumbai: Celebrating the vibrancy of Holi, Crocs, the footwear brand renowned for its unparalleled comfort and style, has marked a significant milestone today by unveiling its thematic campaign for Holi in India. Featuring new brand ambassadors Vedang Raina and Rasha Thadani, the campaign embraces the spirit of #ComeAsYouAre, celebrating individuality and self-expression, combined with the collective jubilation of Holi – a festival that epitomizes hues of togetherness and joy. Crocs, with its iconic Classic Clog and Jibbitz charms, becomes the canvas for this expression, embodying the very spirit of the festival.

    Conceptualized and produced by Supari Studios, the campaign film features Vedang and Rasha in a spirited celebration. From friendly excitement to spontaneous dance-offs, the film seamlessly highlights the functionality and style of Crocs as the perfect accessory for a festival like Holi. Amidst a joyous montage of thandai, jalebis, and festive revelry, the video concludes with Crocs adorned in Holi colours, symbolizing the aftermath, as Rasha, Vedang, and their friends relax.

Being on set for this video has been both a personal and professional joy. Vedang and I had an absolute blast and it felt like I had gone back to my childhood, especially with the Jibbitz, it felt like I was a 5-year-old in candyland. I am elated that the campaign is finally out for audiences to see, and I hope it reaches the hearts and minds.”

The ideologies go hand in glove with each other and I hope the fun we had on set, translates into happiness for the viewers.”

  • ‘Confident Beauty’ campaign launched by Supari Studios with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

    ‘Confident Beauty’ campaign launched by Supari Studios with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics

    MUMBAI: Award-winning digital content studio, Supari Studios, collaborated with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics to launch the Indian counterpart of its global ‘Confident Beauty’ campaign, featuring its first celebrity brand ambassador for India, Tara Sutaria. 

    ‘Confident Beauty’ is a brand equity campaign that celebrates confident women and diversity, linked to their hero foundation products and equity in shade breadth, undertone and skin tone leadership. The brand’s multifaceted approach communicates face leadership and true beauty philosophy. To address this messaging, the film showcases brand ambassador Tara Sutaria reflecting on what beauty means to her; we see an engaging montage of Tara as she prepares for a performance by rehearsing her dance, in addition to using her Bobbi Brown’s Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15, which plays an important role in building her confidence and bringing out her natural beauty when she finally gets on to stage. 

    The lineup holds a breadth of 43 shades, which include the 12 newly launched shades globally complimenting different skin tones, making every woman feel confident.  

    Giving viewers glimpses into several aspects of Tara’s personality, the Supari Studios team detailed the film’s visuals in a manner that lent the campaign authenticity to stay true to its larger messaging. Along with being an actor, Tara Sutaria is also a ballet dancer and an opera singer; keeping this in mind, the music composed played a key role in defining the film’s visual tone, with its highs and lows perfectly matching those of the script and narrative. Being a counterpart of the brand’s larger global campaign, the Supari Studios team also ensured that Bobbi Brown Cosmetics’ overall brand language and campaign requirements were retained, while adequately tying it together with Tara’s story and perspective. The campaign thus, aims to encourage its audience to defy societal norms of beauty, urging them to be more comfortable and revel in their own true skin. 

    Director of the film  Tanvi Gandhi said, “Since Bobbi Brown was launching its first campaign with brand ambassador, Tara Sutaria, it was important that we maintained the perfect balance between a beautiful high-fashion aesthetic and staying true to Tara's personality so as to depict her life in the most authentic and genuine way. Along with being an actor, Tara is also a dancer and performer – a skill that shines bright in the film. If I could describe the essence of the film in one word, it would be "Rhythm". From whatever we know about Tara, she is always moving, always on the go, always expressing herself to a beat. In order to accurately depict her life, we decided to create a visual language of rhythm in our film. We adapted that treatment to our cinematography, editing and music. The camera is never static in the film, it's always moving along with Tara, as a mere spectator trying to keep up with her. The music acts as a metronome with a gradual graph ending on a high as Tara finally takes the stage. The style of editing further emphasises the sense of rhythm – alternating between fast and slow cuts depending on what is needed.”

    Supari Studios executive producer Mitali Sharma said, “When Bobbi Brown India approached us to make the Indian version to their 'Confident Beauty' campaign, we wanted to ensure that we keep the spirit of the Global films intact, while staying unique to Tara. Dance and music is essential to her, which is why we used the idea of beats and rhythms in the visuals and distilled it to even the editing pace of the film. It has been an amazing collaboration and you can see the zeal and energy that Tara lends to the brand. There couldn’t have been a better face for Bobbi Brown India.”

    Supari Studios produces new campaign for Clinique ‘We Hear You’

    MUMBAI: Digital content studio, Supari Studios, produced the latest campaign for Clinique’s Even Better range of products and  is directed by Sameer Ghauri. Bringing on board four diverse influencers, Supriya Joshi, Lisa Mishra, Leeza Mangaldas and Teena Singh, it put together a series of fun and spunky films that offer viewers a glimpse into each influencer’s personality.

    Supari Studios executive producer Mitali Sharma said, “With this campaign, we wanted to focus on the tagline ‘Even Better’ by bringing out the strong personalities of each of the influencers and how they don't like to settle in life, just like the Even Better foundation. We tried to encapsulate a piece of their life into the films by throwing in some minimal props that gave a suggestion of their profession. We also highlighted how Clinique Even Better Foundation helps each influencer, by mentioning a specific benefit of the foundation that works for them.”

    Ghauri said, "Our goal was to keep the tone of the films honest and real, complemented by clean and elegant visuals that are crisply edited to music handpicked to pair with each lady’s distinct personality. The colour tone of each film was also meticulously chosen to complement the different skin tones of our influencers. The aim of the films was to celebrate the diversity of smart, independent Indian women and at the same time highlighting that the brand caters to over 50 types of different skin tones, and I feel our films managed to achieve that quite successfully."

  • Supari Studios creates campaign for Clinique’s popular product, Moisture Surge

    Supari Studios creates campaign for Clinique’s popular product, Moisture Surge

    MUMBAI: Award-winning agency Supari Studios produced the latest campaign for Clinique for their popular product, ‘Moisture Surge’. The film’s release comes from the latest formulation for this product, which offers 72 hours of moisture to the skin. This key feature of the product was beautifully brought under the spotlight by Sanya Malhotra, star of the box office breakout film, ‘Dangal’.

    The film follows Sanya through a typical 72 hours in her life, to show how she juggles her work and social life, especially with her hectic schedule. The moisturiser presents itself as the perfect companion and hero that keeps up with her. To ensure the hectic pace of her life is encapsulated, and lend a certain intimacy, the Supari team went with a hand-held style to operate the camera. Similarly, the pacing of the music is quick, which adds to the mood of the film. The film also gives a sneak peek into the lighter moods in Sanya’s life like catching up with her friends, dance practice and how she emerges from it, radiant as ever. The settings take you on a journey with Sanya to give you glimpses of what goes on in her life. The film is meant to speak to the urban, independent and contemporary women of today who go through as much as Sanya does in 72 hours.

    Anna Joseph, Director of the film said, “The brief we received was that the film had to cover different moments over 72 hours in Sanya Malhotra’s life. As a young actress her days are filled with all sorts of activities – from photo shoots to rigorous dance rehearsals to downtime with friends – we wanted to give the viewer an insight into her personality as well as establish how Moisture Surge is a product she relies on to keep her skin looking great through the day. We tried to intersperse the product shots organically through the film so they felt like a part of her regular routine. We kept the camera movement fluid and made her interact with the camera as much as possible so it would feel like you’re moving with her through different parts of her day. Lastly, we made sure to put her essence into the film so that it felt natural and fun. She’s a great dancer and a very positive, happy person – it was important to bring that out in the film. “

    Supari Studios, Executive Producer, Mitali Sharma said, “When Clinique came to us with the brief for this project, we knew that the 72 hour factor of the product would be pivotal. There’s so much that happens in 72 hours of any person’s life especially someone like Sanya, so this film is extremely relatable for anyone that watches it. When developing the narrative and script for this we felt that the mood and theme of this film would resonate with the target audience “
