"Bowling" and "Charades"
Framestore Pictures director Tom Routson’s latest collaboration with Dagger and Aflac for two hilarious films proves to be extra special as it is a reunion with the team that launched the Aflac Duck into the advertising stratosphere. Tom and Framestore Pictures Managing Director Jennifer Siegel were delighted to once again work with Alfac and the iconic duck. As a bonus easter egg for the fans, actor Earl Billings returns to the spots as a shoe cleaner at a bowling alley.
It was an amazing turn of events to be working on the Aflac Duck once again after helping to create it some 20 plus years ago. Working with the same people I worked with all those years ago was so unbelievable I thought that I might have hit my head. The collaboration with all the new faces and the old made for one great experience and a great deal of fun.
