Big Foote (NYC) Wins AICP Award for Smirnoff’s “Crazy Nights” Spot

June 13th, 2012 by David Weiss

The Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) held their annual awards gala last night in NYC. Surrounded by the wonders of the Museum of Modern Art, the AICP recognized NYC’s Big Foote Music + Sound in the “Musical Arrangement” category for their work on Smirnoff’s “Crazy Nights” global spot.

The AICP declared Big Foote a WINNER for their work on Smirnoff's "Crazy Nights".

Big Foote Partner/CD Sherman Foote oversaw the arrangement of a decidedly new take on KISS’ classic “Crazy Nights”. In the Big Foote version, the artist Sun for Moon begins the song in beautifully languid fashion, then builds to a more energized delivery as the onscreen action shifts from tranquil skylines to a packed party (view the spot below).

The footage for the :60 spot was directed by Smuggler’s Samir Mallal, for agency JWT.
