Nieuwe serie commercials voor de ANWB

De ANWB brengt in een nieuwe serie commercials zijn tarievenstructuur onder de aandacht. Hulp binnen de woonplaats is goedkoper dan in heel Nederland, wat weer goedkoper is dan Europa. Een burgemeester komt zijn dorp niet uit, terwijl, terwijl volkszanger Dries Roelvink van dorp naar dorp rijdt voor zijn optredens op feesten en partijen. Wanneer hij pech krijgt in het zuiden des lands blijkt dat Hans Klok met een karavaan juist de grens overtrekt. Creatie: Boris Peters, Wilbert Leering, Rodger Werkhoven, Pepijn Rooijens (Ubachs Wisbrun). Regie Mike van Diem (bij Brand). Geluid: Studio Alfred Klaassen.
Muziek: Gino Vannelli.

A Mayor does not leave his or hers village, while the Singer of the people Dries Roelvink drives from village to village in the Netherlands for his live performances at parties and weddings. When his car breaks down in the south of the Netherlands, Hans Klok just crosses the Dutch border with a convoy of trucks for his European tour. Creation : Boris Peters, Wilbert Leering, Rodger Werkhoven, Pepijn Rooijens (Ubachs Wisbrun). Director : Mike van Diem (bij Brand). Sound : Studio Alfred Klaassen.

Still troubles and problems to see and hear the 3 GINO VANNELLI : PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE COMMERCIALS ??? And you really, really want to see and hear these commercials, there is only one way left : E-mail us and we will try to help you... because we understand how you feel !!! When Gino Vannelli is involved somehow a true fan needs to see and hear it...

We also try to explain the story of the 3 different commercials :

Commercial 1 : Turkije / Turkey :
The first commercial with Gino Vannelli's PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE is about an immigrant's Family who goes to Turkey in the Summer for vacation, a long journey with a car full of stuff, they drive thru Europe, Eastern Europe to Turkey and than their car breaks down in Turkey and the ANWB comes to help them because they are a member of the ANWB with a "Reis en kredietbrief" . A Kind of ANWB insurance for car help... even in Turkey !!! The ANWB sells all kind of insurances for travel purposes for people in need and car problems... The great music says it all !!!
People cannot stand still, PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE...
GINO VANNELLI'S MUSIC !!!


Commercial 2 : Trapvaardig / Licenced to bike :
The second commercial with Gino Vannelli's PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE is about a boy who lives in the country (Friesland) and he goes from the primary school to high-school. He has to bike a long way to go to high-school............ And he has his licence to ride a bike in a safe way. He knows how to use his brakes when somebody suddenly throws the car door open... So schools in general can give their students lessons in riding their bikes in a safe way and lessons in traffic rules and traffic signs etc...................The ANWB sells a kind of bike training with classes in traffic maybe we have to write a course (of study). BUT THEY GIVE A FREE COURSE TO THE CHILDREN OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS. And the Kids can do an exam at the end of the course....... We hope we explained this in the right way.
And again GINO VANNELLI's music fits in well, very well !!!


Commercial 3 : Di-rect :
Di-rect is a famous Dutch pop group of 4 young boys. They come from The Hague. It's 5 o'clock in the afternoon and they have to go to their concert somewhere in the north of Holland with their funny driver who has a real "The Hague" accent and a very funny limousine, on the way they give signatures to the girls and they play around in the car. But than the cars breaks down and the driver phones the ANWB for help. The driver says that they have to play their concert at 10 o'clock and he asks the ANWB man if he can do this job in time ....... Yes ofcourse they are on time because of the ANWB and they play and sing PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE live on stage...


Commercial 4 : Education/opleiding Wegenwacht / Roadwatch
The strict teacher / examiner of the ANWB shows us the quality of the people who work with the "Wegenwacht" (Roadwatch) People who help us with our cars or motorbikes when we are in trouble along the roads...

PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE...

"Ohhhhhhh you know everything about cars ???" Says the teacher to the candidate...... And than the classes start. The candidate has to do some difficult tests and follow classes with this strict teacher as the leader...... and at the end the teacher says : "Now you know everything about cars !!!" And the candidate gets the job at the ANWB as one of the roadwatchers... YOU GOTTA MOVE......

Commercial 5 : Dutch Singer Dries Roelvink and the Magician Hans Klok

News :
9 September 2006
The ANWB hits back with Dries
A part from a newspaper article in "Het Parool" a Dutch newspaper. We (the editors) tried to translate it in the English language so more people of this world can read it...

In this commercial Dries Roelvink tours through Holland, through the whole of the Netherlands, from extra earnings to jobs on the side. Dries Roelvink the golden hair singer and performer of the people, impersonater of Dutch songs and very kind and friendly human being is a very busy person... His manager reads him the very loaded agenda with bookings : "We go to Culemborg, Harderwijk and a wedding in Maarsseveen. And tomorrow to Eersel, Veldhoven and a street fair in Mierlo."

Dries is very serious in his profession and he greets his audience always very enthusiastic and with the right geographic knowledge : "Hi Katwijk!" or "Hi Veldhoven!" In this commercial Dries has bad luck with his car on a very picturesque little road near Maastricht in the far south of the Netherlands. When the roadwatch arrives, a big convoy of black trucks following a big thick good black Mercedes, passes by and inside the Mercedes is Hans Klok a very famous Dutch magician. Hans Klok is busy with his European tour.

Moral : When you never ever go to a foreign country like Dries or never ever comes out of the Netherlands, you only need the national Netherlands service of the roadwatch. Hans Klok the Famous Dutch magician needs the European service !!! So you only need to pay for the services you really need from the ANWB roadwatch.

Director Mike van Diem, Oscarwinner with Karakter/Character, created a good and nice little movie. It's not his first commercial for the ANWB. PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE commercial number 1 is also made by Mike van Diem. In the last images of the new commercial number 5 Dries, the local hero, looks up to the International famous magician Hans Klok who operates international and is much more famous. During the commercials sounds a jazzy music, PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE by GINO VANNELLi from the year 1974. And Dries Roelvink and his manager also sing along with PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE while driving his car. At the end we see the well known ANWB slogan : " Did we ever let you stand?" or "Did we ever leave you alone?" or ???

"Not all famous Dutch people only perform in the Netherlands like Dries Roelvink. That's why we choose for this commercial. He drives 90.000 kilometers a year to his performances. However we joke around with his very busy and difficult life as an artist, he loved to worked for this commercial and for us. This commercial shows us a lot and very, very much repect for the enthusiastic and positive way Dries Roelvink gives his career a great character. This is Dries, nothing is too crazy for him."

Bureau : Ubachs Wisbrun - Creation : Ubachs Wisbrun - Director : Mike van Diem
Music : Gino Vannelli, People Gotta Move

Remember Hans Klok the famous Dutch magician who had a show in Las Vegas with Pamela Anderson in 2007!

Commercial 6 : The Mayor

The Mayor always works for His city or village, he does all the Mayor things and never leaves his village... So when his car does not work he only needs the ANWB hometown roadwatch service... YOU GOTTA MOVE...

Commercial 7 : Dries Roelvink in Spain

The Dutch singer Dries Roelvink on vacation in Torremolinos in Spain... Dries and his manager promote the concert for Friday night at Playa del Mar and the car starts to smoke because of the loss of oil... Dries has enough oil for his body and says that the manager has to solve the problem because he is the manager! Dries catches some sun on the beach while his manager gets mad and says some not so nice lines out loud while the mic is open and on air... Dries thinks it time to do something about it and calls the ANWB for help! With Gino Vannelli's PEOPLE GOTTA MOVE this commercial comes to an happy end!!! See it for yourself...
