An entry for the 2007 "Top This TV" challenge, directed by myself and starring Scott Robson, Katie Robson, Betsy Robson and myself.

Sadly, our commercial didn't make it to the final shortlist of fifteen. While a good number of the ads are unquestionably better than ours, it looks like Heinz opted for those that looked professional (with the exception of one rap entry that I can only assume was chosen to fill the token black entrant slot). In any case, I think that somebody with this level of professional expertise deserves to be in the business anyway. Maybe next time...

• "Miss Heinz" was made from a Ketchup bottle - the one on which we noticed the competition - stolen from a diner. (Ketchup bottles in diners are coloured red for aesthetic purposes that suited our film nicely.)
• Mizz Heinz's skirts are made of cupcake wrappers. She's wearing a different coloured skirt in each scene.
• The charming troll is played by my then-girlfriend, Katie.
• Getting a simple shot of a cow is more difficult than conceptually it might seem.
