Avocados and Coconuts Cracks Open Creativity in New Juice Shop Spot Adland®

Bright colors and exciting locations weren’t the only thing at play in this multi-layered piece. Quick transitions and slick, clean camera moves serve as a throughline in which Palmer was able to construct a clever story with the genuine relatability that permeates his work.

The angles of the piece were integral to the overall look and feel of the spot: “We used smaller movements to make the piece feel big. Finding those weird upward angles – off-kilter and a little outside of the norm – gave it a more surreal quality,” says Palmer. “We leaned on the production design and sound design, as well as elements like crash zooms and VFX, to elevate the larger-than-life feel.”

Together with a local production partner, Motion City Films, Avocados and Coconuts’ experience and depth of creativity allowed them to maximize the scope of the project while staying true to the values at the heart of Juice Shop’s story.

“All of us were committed to enjoying the creation of this spot,” concludes Palmer. “The trust of the client went a long way in affording us the opportunity to be playfully self-aware. We were able to poke fun at ourselves as creatives, while also showcasing the level of dedication and thoughtfulness we bring to any project, including one as lighthearted as this.”
