This is the time of Knightly Games

If you think that the time of chivalry has gone, you are wrong. And you're not the only one.

Our fellow-citizens, inhabitants of joint yard in which is also the hair salon where we did various magic, were very surprised when one morning, coming out on their balconies in search of fresh morning air, they actually saw a bunch of cheerful knights. Young, buxom, ample bosom landladies were in their company. All this was the preparation for shooting a TV spot. But, let's start from the beginning...

The time for shooting the TV spot had been approaching. Actors had to be found. Easy, someone would say, but it's not that simple. For the role of knights, we needed tall, burly guys with long hair, beard and mustaches. What didn't we do to find them?! We asked acquaintances, acquaintances' acquaintances, searched among the friends on the Facebook, we even waylaid some people on the street on several occasions! We had found one "knight" by memory that there used to be a guy in some agency who met our requirements! The pursuit of "waitresses" with required "attributes" was especially pleasant for the male members of the crew. ;) God knows how many basements had we visited in order to find the right place for shooting! As children, we often wondered what's behind those tiny, little windows in old buildings in the center of the town. This was the great opportunity to find out.

 

A detail from shooting of TV spot for Pehar juices

 

The day for the shooting had come. The yard of one building in the center of Subotica which we had picked out was crowded with knights, landladies, technical equipment, and people rushing in order to everything goes according to plan. Since everything was already planned, the shooting of the TV spot went without any difficulties, so we had time for hanging out and photo session. Almost all the members of the crew grabbed the chance to take a photo of them with interesting figures from the Middle Ages! That day, even leading actors of the TV spot, famous TV personalities Milan Kalinić and Andrija Milošević were in the mood. During the shooting, many comic and unplanned situations that had happened were caught on camera, and some were even inserted in the spot afterwards!

The Middle Ages, torches, the inn, the knights in shining armors, swords, a goblet, a soccer ball... What came out of this, check out in the video.
