Brief Explanation

The TVC was shot for an awareness campaign for diabetes, informing people of the disease's harmful effect on eyesight. The concept of the TVC was developed based on the insight that the Lebanese enjoy everything beautiful about their country and their lives, relating everything to their sight even in vocabulary. Words like “look”, “see”, and “Eye” are used daily in their conversations, descriptions and sayings. Expressions like “you’re the apple of my eye” in the Lebanese language are numerous. If they want to answer someone they respond with “My eyes” metaphorically of course. Inviting the Lebanese to save guard their health and to keep an eye on their diabetes we created a VO using all Lebanese idioms and sayings that include “Eye”.
