Flying Fish contributes to Emmy for Coke spot

A Coca Cola commercial line-produced by Flying Fish New Zealand for Psyop in LA won the coveted Primetime Commercial Emmy on Saturday night during the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ Creative Arts Awards ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

The spot was shot on location in West Auckland and in Studio over 5 days in late 2008. It first aired during the super bowl half time entertainment in January of this year to an audience of over 100 million viewers. It’s a charming tale where flora and a community of insects team to open a bottle of Coke unawares to its sleeping owner.

Says Flying Fish executive producer James Moore: “We love working with the team from Psyop, and for them to win an Emmy in the weekend hopefully means we’ll see a bit more of them down here. Todd and Kylie are amazing, we also shot a Nintendo spot with them in June, they really blow you away with their attention to detail.”
