Be My Ex
The entire Be My Ex campaign was written and produced by Jetset Studios to promote the upcoming Fox Studios release "My Super Ex-Girlfriend." After writing the content for bemyex.com and scripting the accompanying film series, Jetset Studios' Creative Director Russell Scott turned to Upstairs Film to execute the site's key video series elements.
Directed by Upstairs Film's Michael Toubassi, the instructional videos are a send-up of 1950's health films, complete with an era-appropriate aesthetic and a suitably commanding host, the fictitious Dr. Thorhamer, a bearded, white-coated, relationship expert. Tongue-in-cheek visual lessons and comedic case studies illustrate classic warnings signs, relationship phases and the best methods for a smooth and swift breakup. The series was shot in 24p using the Panasonic DVX100. The website also features the Will You Be My Ex? quiz, the Institute's FAQ, as well as the Top 10 Places to End a Relationship.
Russell Scott, who is also Jetset Studios' Co-Founder, notes: "We wanted to create an original multi-platform experience that demonstrates the universal appeal of 'My Super Ex-Girlfriend,' and we are fortunate to have a highly collaborative relationship with the marketing team at 20th Century Fox that allows us to creatively run wild."
"As audiences grow increasingly sophisticated, we strive to create campaigns that work as stand-alone pieces of entertainment," adds Jetset Studios Co-Founder Patrick Young. "The audience appreciates this and, as a result, is much more likely to pass it along to their friends. This kind of pass-along entertainment is the Holy Grail of online advertising."
In addition to the Be My Ex site, Jetset Studios worked hand-in-hand with 20th Century Fox to create the official site for the film, www.mysuperex.com.
