Cinema Adds for a legal company low budget :)

Hi,
We shot these adds for a legal company that was sponsoring a big film festival here in Sydney. The client loved my idea and we had a really fun shoot. The lawyers in the adds are from the company (week point imo but not too bad) The final product couldn't have been better received THEN....

Some one in the legal company decided to do a risk analysis regarding getting sued over copy right! Funny as this was brought up at the start to make sure they were cool with it. Here in Auz parrody laws cover you taking the piss out of any thing and none of the assets in the adds were not original, even the dialogue is not the same, but, they freaked out at the end and decided to can the adds. :(

Second canned project this year, poop :(

Love to know what you guys think about the adds but also what you think about the situation.

Here they are,

Those were very clever (and well shot). I doubt New Line or Paramount would have raised a stink- but reasonable doubt? I guess that's for a judge to decide :)
 
:grin: :grin: :thumbsup:

Love 'em! Very nicely done!

Perhaps they would be more comfortable with a parody of lawyer films, like My Cousin Vinny or The Firm... :happy:

As for the situation? I'd throw their argument out!!! Overruled!
