The students have taken some of Nike’s best loved adverts as their inspiration, including the Brazil Airport ad, which featured Real Madrid’s Ronaldo unleash the full brilliance of his team-mates skills on an unsuspecting airport after their flight is delayed, the Good v Evil ad, in which Eric Cantona puts a hole in the devil with a football, and the recent Joga Bonita Brazil Team ad, which has Ronaldinho inspiring his team-mates to have a kickabout in their dressing room Sadly, the MMU students don’t have quite as glamorous a location to film in or anything like the budget of the sports giant, but that didn’t stop them.
 | | The Montgomery Halls team |
Using the corridors and bedrooms of their Montgomery Halls in Whalley Range and the surrounding campus, they dribble, jink, flick, nutmeg, head, shimmy and tackle their way around the place, even managing to stop off and steal someone’s pint on the way. Taking three days to make and combining an impressive 330 clips, the resulting film is not only a credit to the lengths some will go to combat the boredom of exams – although as they point out on their website, they’ve now failed those exams - but is also making them internet superstars, as it wings its way around the world from email to email.
But don’t take our word for it, why not have a look at yourself and see if you think it was worth it?
