Hasta La Motion!

The latest work from Psyop for Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey: Swarm. Together with Arnold Worldwide and Smuggler, Psyop developed a spot that features an unstoppable force of CG bees on the hunt for a bottle of Tennessee Honey.

“Shooting on the Warner Bros backlot allowed us a lot of control over the shots,” commented Psyop Creative Director, Laurent Ledru. “Working with Arnold and Smuggler made for a smooth production, and we were able to get what we needed in camera with the expert eye of Director of Photography, Robert Elswitt.”

The new spot was first pre-released via Twitter/Facebook and garnered more than 10 million impressions before ever hitting the TV waves.

“’Swarm’ is an evolution of the original King Bee launch spot, we wanted the new spot to demonstrate the many fans that Tennessee Honey has acquired throughout the year,” said Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Senior Brand Manager Casey Nelson. “King Bee is back with his swarm – his followers.”

“Swarm” has aired on NBA and NHL playoff games, late night TV, sports and lifestyle programming. Jack Honey and the “Swarm” TV spot will be back on air three more times this fiscal year in support of the other Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey program periods.
