The behind-the-scenes spot interviewed the predominantly female crew to explore the behind the scenes making of the Barbie Careers film and gives insight into how the film was put together, hearing from key members of the crew including its stop motion artist. The BTS presenters were none other than the talented child stars from the ad and through their curious eyes, the content asks burning questions behind the world of filmmaking – What does it take to become an Art Director? How long does it take to make 5 seconds of stop motion? What does a Focus Puller do? Who’s in charge of lunch? The fun and inventive award-winning campaign inspires young children to dream big and show their limitless potential, and formed part of an integrated 360 shopper marketing proposition, executed throughout the Smyths Toys landscape: in-store, online & social.
