Pavarotti Commercial


We had Pavarotti on a fixed camera for 30 minutes and only needed him to read a script. He kept changing the script as he went along, however, and we ended up with nothing but outtakes. As the copywriter of record, I worked with my creative director Joe Kilgore and art director Dave Newkirk at Ogilvy & Mather in Houston to create a pieced-together version that added humor to the situation. It won lots of awards. Read the full story at www.creative-word.com

    I’ve always been amused by his speaking voice. It’s very boyish isn’t it? Much different from the way he sings.

    Hey! He’s a Libra, just like me! He was born six days after I was on the calendar, not chronologically.
