Ads: Bare essentials of safety & Nothing to Hide (Air New Zealand)

Another interesting and daring ads concept by Air New Zealand. Do you always ignore the safety video when you are flying? Take a second look of this video, the Air New Zealand staff actually take pre-flight passengers through the flying do’s, don’ts and emergency procedures - wearing nothing but body paint.

As sensational as it may all sound, there’s nothing risqué inside this ‘bare all’ video. Sensitive body parts are cleverly covered up, either by ‘props’ like a lifejacket or careful placement outside of the camera’s view.

But this is not the 1st video that Air New Zealand, “Nothing to Hide” as The Air New Zealand’s advertisement says: ‘At Air New Zealand our fares have nothing to hide, which is why the price you pay includes everything upfront.’
