An elephant stands on a surfboard, drops into a wave, and rides it with surprising control.<br /><br />It sounds like the setup for a joke, but in 2010 it became one of the most memorable images in an Accenture advertising campaign.<br /><br />"Surfing Elephant" was created by Y&R New York for Accenture, directed by Thierry Poiraud and produced at Paranoid US in Los Angeles.<br /><br />French visual-effects company BUF handled the digital work that helped turn the impossible idea into a convincing piece of surfing imagery. The commercial was released in May 2010.<br /><br />The message was contained in a simple tagline: "Who says you can't be big and nimble?"<br /><br />The elephant represented Accenture's size, while its ability to ride a wave represented agility and flexibility.<br /><br />Accenture, a global management consulting and technology services company, was using an impossible surfing scene to communicate a very conventional business idea: being large does not necessarily mean being slow or inflexible.<br /><br />From Tiger Woods to a surfing elephant<br /><br />The commercial appeared shortly after Accenture ended its sponsorship relationship with Tiger Woods.<br /><br />Woods had been the central figure in Accenture's advertising for six years, with the company's campaigns using his sporting ability to represent qualities such as precision, performance and agility.<br /><br />Accenture ended the relationship in December 2009 following the scandal surrounding Woods's personal life.<br /><br />The company then introduced a new campaign featuring animals performing improbable feats.<br /><br />One advertisement showed a frog jumping over other frogs with the line "Play quantum leapfrog."<br /><br />The surfing elephant followed the same approach.<br /><br />Rather than abandoning the visual language Accenture had built around Woods, the campaign replaced the golfer with animals that could communicate similar ideas through unexpected situations.<br /><br />For an international consulting company, the approach also had a practical advantage.<br /><br />Animals and simple visual metaphors could communicate across markets without relying heavily on language or a celebrity personality.<br /><br />Making an elephant surf<br /><br />The visual-effects challenge was to make the elephant behave like a surfer without making it stop looking like an elephant.<br /><br />BUF described the project as part of its "plausible unreality" work.<br /><br />The company wanted to give the animal the physical dynamics of a surfer while retaining its characteristic qualities of heaviness, slowness, and distinctive movement.<br /><br />That balance was important.<br /><br />If the elephant moved like a lightweight human athlete, the illusion would immediately lose its appeal.<br /><br />Instead, its movements remain heavy and slightly awkward, creating the impression of an enormous animal trying to maintain its balance on a surfboard.<br /><br />BUF had to integrate the computer-generated elephant with filmed ocean elements, including waves, foam and spray.<br /><br />Matching the CG character to the movement and physical appearance of the water required careful compositing and effects work.<br /><br />The production also used practical elements. According to effects company Anatomorphex, mechanical elephant legs were filmed underwater in a tank to create realistic footage of the animal paddling through the water.<br /><br />For other shots, a real elephant was filmed on dry land while water splashes and other elements were later combined with the ocean footage and CG surfboard.<br /><br />The finished commercial therefore combined live-action photography, practical effects, computer animation and compositing.<br /><br />An elephant in the lineup<br /><br />The surfing itself provides the commercial's central visual joke, but it also makes the business metaphor immediately understandable.<br /><br />There is no obvious physical object that represents management consulting.<br /><br />Instead, Accenture showed something enormous and apparently unsuited to surfing performing an activity associated with balance, timing and agility.<br /><br />The result is deliberately absurd, but the visual language is simple enough to work almost anywhere.<br /><br />An elephant is big. A surfer needs to be nimble.<br /><br />Put the two together, and the advertising message requires very little explanation.<br /><br />The commercial also demonstrates how much visual-effects technology had evolved by the end of the 2000s.<br /><br />The objective was not to make a cartoon elephant surf, but to create the temporary illusion that a real elephant could actually be in the water.<br /><br />That approach is what made the spot memorable. The animal remains unmistakably elephantine even while doing something completely outside its natural abilities.<br /><br />More than a decade later, the basic image still needs almost no explanation.<br /><br />There is an elephant, there is a surfboard, and there is a wave. Somehow, the elephant looks like it belongs there.<br /><br />#accenture #surfingelephant #elephant #commercials #advertising #surf #surfing

https://stabmag.com/stabcinema/watch-stab-in-the-dark-2016/<br /><br />Two thousand and twelve. Kony. The predicted apocalypse didn’t come, as foretold. Spewing. 18-year-old John John Florence and 26-year-old Dane Reynolds meet in Japan for Dear Suburbia, scoring what they both still swear are the best waves they’ve ever seen.<br /><br />“The perfect combination of power and shape,” says Dane. “It felt like you could do anything you wanted.”<br /><br />“It was barreling off the takeoff, and you came out with so much speed and just had this perfect bowl bending at you,” adds John.<br /><br />It was the first and only time they ever went on a trip together, and possibly the last time they talked.<br /><br />John chalks it up to them moving through time at different paces — John getting on tour the year after Dane had already left it behind. Dane dove into filmmaking, John grew into the world title chase.<br /><br />Now, 14 years later, both have left the tour. Both left the mainstream surf industry’s big payouts to launch businesses that speak to their own vision of what surfing should be. Both of them now reunite on a one-hour talk show, StabMic, to discuss all of it.<br /><br />Except, John’s on a boat. A fancy new one, too.<br /><br />There are, of course, many differences in their paths, different choices and conflicting visions of the surf industry. They get into it, though, talking about Dane’s time on tour and their shared aversion to certain aspects of competition. Some of it might surprise you, like Dane admitting his favourite part was the attention, and then there’s this quote from John:<br /><br />“I just wanted to destroy everyone and win everything.” <br /><br />Almost Machiavellian, don’t you think?<br /><br />This is Episode 5 of StabMic. Enjoy.
