Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

Much like all our other football content, our music video was catchy, cool and utterly silly. Silly enough to get millions’ attention in the massive clutter. In true honor of the occasion and its real rituals, our video iconically featured World Cup Panini cards. The entire film was said through Paninis, but rather than featuring the stars we didn’t have rights for, we featured our own stars, the real Egyptian fan!

Cultural/Context information for the jury

It’s been so long time since Egypt was playing in the world cup and all Egyptians got very patriotic, trying to show off by holding the flags and wearing the national team jersey which costs around $100 !!! the jersey was more expensive than a family’s entire monthly grocery stock! But what was the alternative, hit the streets wearing just any old red t-shirt you had lying around? For an occasion as big as this one? This was Egypt! This was the World Cup! This was something we were all waiting for in the past 28 years! Banking on this key tension point, Coca-Cola Egypt decided to give the nation jerseys! How? Through buying our can.

Tell the jury about the creation of the original music track.

In a very cluttered scene of all brands talking about the world cup, grabbing attention was a challenge, we needed a piece of music that is relatable, catchy, memorable and gimmick to both our audience as well as any football fan. To fit our animation motion, we created an ear-worm tune with a balanced tempo in order to match and sync with the motion, characters and transitions of every frame and visual design.
