Lots of puppets are pitching ketchup in a contest for Heinz on YouTube.
Heinz is currently sponsoring a contest on YouTube that invites Americans to make the company's next ketchup commercial and compete to win a grand prize of $57,000. The deadline for submissions was this past Monday and there were over 2800 entries. Not surprisingly, a lot of them use some kind of puppetry technique. There's far too many to list (or watch) them all, but these are some of my favourites:
- Heinz Gone Wild - Ketchup bottles take their tops off on the beach.
- Heinz Commercial - Two puppets sing a commercial for Heinz ketchup.
- Heinz: Dream Big - A ketchup packet dreams of being a bottle in this simple, but very effective example of object manipulation.
- The Heinz is Mine - Two sock puppets do battle for ketchup.
- Heinz: It's Not Ketchup - Puppets go bonkers for Heinz, Bollywood style.
- Always Tomato-licious - Chef Heinz plays his trained ketchup bottles in a video inspired by the Muppets' Marvin Suggs.
- Heinz Dreams - What baby ketchup bottles dream about.
