memorable moments.. again

thanks a lot for twice silber, twice bronze. still fabian was modest enough not to storm onto the stage of the "klappe 2009" award show. so you won't find him on the picture above. nor wally ! but we have been there. honestly..

what is tibor looking for ?

and what is he doing with that chameleon ? if you ask me, that is very suspicious.. did a paparazzi catch him on vacation in a fancy, exotic country like, for example nicaragua..? or has he been directing a new commercial in let's say prague ? we will lift the secret real soon !

and the winner is..

at this years adc germany we were awarded with 4 prizes for our commercial "memorable moments" (client: deutsche telekom). that's great! we are very proud..
