Changing Faces 'face equality' by DDB London

DDB London has created this ad for charity Changing Faces to raise the profile of the issue of facial disfigurement.

The camera travels with a girl with a facial disfigurement showing how a variety of people react to her on her journey to work.

At the end of the ad her face is revealed and she says: "You might not notice what you are doing, but I do".

The ad was shot on 35mm film to give a cinematic, warm quality to the observational style.

Great ad. Does a briliant job of showing how cruel and thoughtless the public is.

I agree with Mark, well exicuted and highlights the issue at hand very well.

It's not cruel and thoughtless is it? It's just human nature.

I love the way you refer to 'the public' like you're the Queen or something.

Nice ad. I like the way its doesn't have to be all gritty and dark, like most charity ads. Yet it still gets the point in a really compelling way.

I think it's a good ad, well executed. Very thoughtful. Away from a mac and in the comfort of my own home, I think it would have really hit me hard.

but the chances of seeing it on telly in the comfort of your own home are next to nil ... i'm guessing this is yet another nice charity ad with a miniscule media budget.
