Lichtenberg & Gray Productions GmbH : Happy who-dunnit Easter for ARD and trailer for the Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver

The egg is dead, the bunny was the murderer… is the slogan that was chosen by ARD to promote their who-dunnit highlights over Easter.

The spots were filmed in Munich by the DMC München agency, with director Horst Czenskowski and D.O.P. Rene Richter. GoSee member Lichtenberg & Gray Productions GmbH headed the production.

The Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver are also promoted with an elaborate trailer. The agency was UnitedSenses GmbH, who also took care of the production. Manon Lichtenberg joined the team as the producer.

Markus Schmidt directed the trailer, joined on set by D.O.P. Andreas Zickgraf. The filming took place in Munich and Sölden. Manon says, “It was very nice shoot in the mountains…. We were lucky and managed to catch the last of the 2009 snow!”

German football fans will be familiar with the trailer, which was realised for the RAN programme on the Sat.1 channel, in cooperation with FC Bayern München. Sat.1 own the free TV rights to the Champions League, as well as the new UEFA Europe League, which replaces the UEFA Cup. According to Wikipedia, it was announced in December 2009 that Ran will also be published as a magazine in 2010.

The spots that carry the Sat.1 slogan of ‘Colour Your Life’ as voiced by the Bavarian celebrities, will be shown before and during the TV show. The agency was Creative Solutions with director Horst Czenskowski and D.O.P. Chris Hof, production by Lichtenberg & Gray Produktions GmbH.

Lichtenberg & Gray Productions GmbH also produced the Munich 2010 Olympics application for the DMC agency. Director Julia Konitzer filmed the footage in Munich and surrounding areas.
