EXETER BASED PANGAEA SECURES US ADVERTISING CONTRACT

SINCE ENTRY into the Edinburgh Film festival and the following critical success in the national press of their debut feature film, ‘Better Days’ Pangaea Production International have been making waves in the advertising world.
One of the regions leading television and video production houses, Pangaea’s reputation has reached US shores. The Multi-million dollar American commercial glazing corporation, AutoGlass CityGlass have commissioned Pangaea to revolutionise their advertising strategy.
The team at Pangaea have developed a complete advertising campaign encompassing billboards, newspaper and television commercials.
Including the demolition of a warehouse and modern CGI techniques utilising the full potential of their digital production facility, Pangaea completed their 007 theme with a Sean Connery style voice-over.
Concept Designer Glen Lear said: “The climate of the media industry developing in the South-West really impressed the Americans, the growing number of young creative companies in this region makes it an irresistible location.”
Special Effects coordinator Les Street, whose previous projects include Hollywood blockbuster Event Horizon, is also based in Exeter.
The commercial is now in the final stages of post-production, and is being tipped for success at the prestigious LEAF awards in London later this year. (CD)
