Interview with Rhona Drummond

Eyebolls were involved with last years’ Edinburgh Tattoo campaign. Can you tell us about the production of the ‘paint’ images?

This was a lovely piece of work to produce and a real team effort between The Leith Agency, David Boni and The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. We shot the portraits of the real people in studio with their full uniform on, we then changed them in to old uniform and threw green chromakey paint on them. The green paint then allowed us to change the colours to ‘Tartan’ in post production. It was fun and it was messy!

Who are the people new to you (either within your business or externally) who have particularly impressed you in the last twelve months?

We were recently introduced to Matt Cooper of The Little Black Book, he is passionate, enthusiastic and makes you feel like you are his only client. He knows the international advertising industry inside and out and is infectiously positive and driven. We don’t often get to be a Client, so you can imagine how refreshing and safe this has made us feel.

The one campaign you are most proud of since starting Eyebolls?

Gosh, this is a hard question as I am proud of all of the work we produce, but I think the one piece that stands out is ‘Food Waste’, produced on behalf of The Leith Agency for The Scottish Government, this year. This is a really lovely piece of animation which lends itself well to a full campaign, whilst portraying an important message.
