The Concept:

We are here to show mothers that using OFF! DEETFree items can free her from worries of chemicals and mosquitoes because they provide safe, gentle and effective formulas giving her the peace of mind that her family is protected so she can experience time outdoors with them to the fullest.

Mosquitoes can get in the way of your freedom to fully appreciate the outdoors.With Off! Botanicals and Off! Family Care with picaridin, enjoy life outdoors mosquito, DEET, and worry free.

We have created a range of scenarios we’d like to shoot to create short social clips and stills for SCJ’s Off! Campaign.


What we’re after:

We’d like you to take a look at the scenarios (downloadable scripts in the sidebar) and propose which one(s) you’d like to shoot and a description of how and where you will shoot them, and with who.

The scenarios you can choose from are:

Video ($1500 each)

• Mother and two kids running around back garden
• Parent teaching young child to ride a bike
• Father and kids putting up a tent in their garden
• Parent and child play on monkey bars in park
• Three generations of family having a BBQ in back garden

Cinemagraph ($1500 each)

• Parents and child roasting marshmallows on a bonfire
• Two children playing with a kite in a park/field
• Child hits pinata in back garden birthday party

Stills ($750 each)

• Parent and child play on back yard child swing
• Differently abled child playing soccer in back garden with father
• Child and father playing in garden with large inflatable
• Mother and child do gardening together in back garden

Please note that you will not be required to undertake any post-production. While some video scenarios may be composed of more than one shot, all editing and additional post will be undertaken by the agency.


Cast and Locations

Due to the budget we are expecting these to be shot within families and family homes but if you are able to cast within the fixed budget that would be fine. You can pitch for more than one of the shoots. You can shoot these clips wherever you are in the world but do bear in mind this is for a US market so content, cast and locations will need to look North American. We would love a diverse cast.


Creative Direction:



These clips will make up part of a suite of content for the campaign, so we will are looking for authenticity, dynamism and consistency within these vignettes and shooting style. It should feel warm, homely and authentic.

The shoots can be done handheld on camera phones or DSLRs.

In the downloadable attachment, you will see a mock-up of each scenario, showing framing, style and look/feel.


Do’s and Don’ts: 

• Do film on any device you choose – it can be your smartphone or a professional camera (if you have one)
• Do keep it quite short - don’t record or film more than 10 seconds
• Please avoid showing any logos or brand names (e.g. T-shirts people are wearing) or other intellectual property
• Don’t include any music (so turn off the stereo/radio, please).
• Everyone in the video must be 13+ years old. Anyone under the age of 18 will require parental signature on releases.
