The campaign music is being flighted on all SABC TV and radio stations. Permutations comprise a 60" and 30" TVC, 30" and 15" promos for TV and radio, as well as 5" stings.
"The theme tune just had to include the vuvezela!" says Howard. "As I workshopped the music, I started to develop a 'call and response' motif." As the vuvuzela only plays one note, the unmistakable 'hook' of the tune is created by the rhythm of the instrument. Being a professional trumpet player, Howard was inspired to experiment with different rhythmic elements. All post production and animation was created by Ministry Of Illusion, where Howard Music is based. The TVC's were directed by Tristan Holmes and produced by Adam Thal of Star Productions.
