What is the collective noun for a group of drones? A flock? A watch? A sentinel? A guardian as it turns out.
‘A Guardian’ is a glorious drone-shot film for charity Over & Above Africa, using collective nouns to romance the beauty of animal groups across Africa.
But at the same time highlighting their vulnerability to poaching gangs.
The film is made by an international team of creatives led by former Wieden+Kennedy, 180 Amsterdam and DDB New Zealand veteran, Andy Fackrell, who has recently left R/GA LA to return to Amsterdam. The film is thoughtfully directed by another ex-180 Amsterdam creative, Sam Coleman at Giant Films in Cape Town.
