An idea for a TV-‐commercial by Liv Scharbatke & Tobias Scherer more than care PACKSHOT LOOK& FEEL 1970S & EMOTIONS As there are two timelines at once we want to let the audience feel at home at any time by creating a good feeling through bright colours and blue accents. These accents will on the one hand be found in the set design, the costumes, the blue engagement ring on Maria‘s finger, in the eyes of our protagonists and of course, in the Nivea tin that will prominently be shot at the very end of the 1970s timeframe (also with the then actual design) and as pack shot at the end of the present years with our claim MORE THAN CARE. The 1970s will also be characterised by soft colours that will bring back a sense of memory to the Sun-Protection Spots of the 1970s. A breathing camera shall be following our story as if the audience would be experiencing the situations themself. We want to be emotionally close to our protagonists and we want to have lots of hand details as for us hands are one of the finest expressions of emotions. LOOK& FEEL CAST REAL PEOPLE IN REAL SITUATIONS: THAT IS OUR AIM. The young Thea is a sweet child, angel-faced, blond hair, cute blue eyes, open look, interested in the world and also with a hint of cheekiness. We are looking for a kid between 2-3 years that has a unconsumed face and is not know by other commercials. The young Maria is a kind and caring mother, with loving, blue eyes and blond hair, a girl next door, yet with a beauty that is flawless. We are considering to cast the same person for the young Maria and the old Thea. That is why her face should be pretty but with no outstanding characteristics so that the actress could easily be turned into mother or daughter by our make-up artist. For that we are looking for models as this is the person the audience can identify with the most. The old Maria is a best ager: A woman with a warm and caring look who stayed a real beauty through the years. She still takes care to look good and neat. Her eyes should be vivid and be remarkable blue. Beautiful hands that show their age but are not worn out. A woman whose inner beauty now shows on the outside. For Maria we are looking for an actress as she is our possibility to bring a sent of deepness by subtle acting.
