|
|
| |
|
|
A great new short called Game Over from First Boards Awards winner PES. I still can't get over the fact that my dad sold my Atari at a garage sale.

| Life-Size Lego |
|
|
| |
|
|
Here's a great ad campaign from IDB-FCB, Chile. As many construction sites are closed on weekends, they took the opportunity to put up some life-size Lego. Very fun. From Ads of the World.

| Sean Lennon Album Trailer |
|
|
| |
|
|
I LOVE when a spot makes me say WOW. Not only is this trailer for Sean Lennon's new album Friendly Fire full of star-power, it's absolutely beautiful. Be patient, it takes a while to load but it worth the wait.Directed by Michele Civetta. Thanks to Craig at Analogue for sending.

| The BBC Asks You to Listen to Your Sofa |
|
|
| |
|
|
In the UK you need a license to have a television -- really. I lived there for two years and I was told that the BBC actually has people driving around in vans searching for "illegal" television signals. Not sure if this is true. In this new campaign directed by Reginald Pike's Lena Beug, the sofas are trying to talk some sense into their owners. By the way, I never actually purchased a license when I was there. Shame on me.

| Animal Takes a Bite Out of Apple |
|
|
| |
|
|
All hail Blogger Bucky Turco of Animal Magazine. This past Friday night he was able to sneak into the opening of Apple's newest tech mecca in New York. After obtaining an entrance card via a sticky-fingered diversion, he then went around to all of the computers on display, changing their internet browser settings to his site. See the full shameless story here, along with some great celebrity pics.

| If You Like A Boy, Give Him A Whack |
|
|
| |
|
|
Here is " Testimonials" the follow-up to last week's " Amazing" spot from Bos Toronto and directed by Reginald Pike's Brian Lee Hughes. The product is the new Mac's Froster flavour Whack, a carbonated slushy drink. Oh, and if you are wondering what Whack tastes like, it's sour lime. Who knew?

| Make Fun of Your Friends |
|
|
| |
|
|
This type of viral is becoming more & more common but they are still fun & appeal to my juvenile side. This one is for Mini out of London interactive shop Glue & lets you make a good poke at your friends. If you have five spare minutes, I highly suggest it as it is very well done.

| The New Black |
|
|
| |
|
|
This is one messed-up Panda. The last & final installment in the Adicolor series is Black, directed by Saiman Chow. Fittingly it's in black & white. Is that a Joy Division tribute in the middle or just a good line?

| These Guys Need All the Help They Can Get |
|
|
| |
|
|
If I walked in on my guy & his friends doing this, I'd really have to reconsider our relationship. He may be forgiven if there was a TON of alcohol involved. Can Axe save these lads from their mundane existence? This is the first of three spots in a campaign from Lowe Bull Johannesburg. Thanks to copywriter Matt for sending.

Canadians are so friendly & polite. I should know, I'm one of them. This simple & well executed spot, for PEI Tourism directed by UNTITLED's John Mastromonaco via Grey Worldwide, shows just how far we'll go. Canadian-born John Mastromonaco is repped state-side by Argyle Brothers.

| Put Your Hands to Good Use & Have a Whack |
|
|
| |
|
|
Mac’s Convenience Stores, the Canadian version of the 7-Eleven, are encouraging teens to have a whack. Whack is the new Froster drink flavour (a slushie) & a follow-up to last year's teen-craze the "Bloody Zit". As you can imagine, the ad campaign, by Bos Toronto's Chad Borlase & Gary Watson, is full of double entendre and innuendo. The infomercial-style TV/Cinema ad "Amazing" was directed by Reginald Pike's Brian Lee Hughe s & on the website you can upload photos to make your friends part of the show.

| Meat and Two Veg, Minus the Hair |
|
|
| |
|
|
Here's another commercial with some "bleeps". This time it's for Philips new bodygroom all-in-one system. The look is a bit too much like the Mac vs. PC spots that launched this week. Anyone know which came first? Either way, the use of fruit & veg is entertaining.

| Yellow: The Begining of Something New |
|
|
| |
|
|
The ADICOLOR Yellow spot directed by Neill Blomkamp was released today. It's like a trailer for a film that is part Bionic Man, part Blade Runner. To me if feels completely different than the rest of the series -- less colour, so to speak. Thoughts?

| Once You Go Mac, You Never Go Back |

Apple launched this new campaign last night. I, of course, emailed the link to some of my PC friends. I would have sent them the link via iChat, but as they are on PCs that was not possible.
