I saw this spot on TV the other night & laughed my head off, so I gave Ann at Zig a call to get my hands on these two new Mr. Sub spots. Stavrosis my favourite, but the "nice to meet you" at the end of Subtaurcracks me up too. Directed by James Paterson of the Electric Company. Zig Creative Team: Mark Puchala & Michael Clowater.
UNTITLED director Chris Sargent warns us of the dangers of global warming in WWF Beautiful Day, via FCB Toronto & F/X via AXYZ, Toronto. Very timely as today the British government released a reporton the impact of climate change.
I saw a tribute to this amazing old school animation on The Family Guy tonight. So I wondered if I could find the original online. One quick search on You Tube & voila. Enjoy a blast from the past.
I love the direction JWT NY is going with Domino's Pizza. First there was Fudgems & now this great campaign directed by The Perlorian Brothers via Biscuit/Reginald Pike. Some trivia - the Nana in "Nana" was one of the original cast members of The Little Rascals. Cool.
I just got back to Toronto from the Boards Summit. I have to say it was a wonderful experience. The Boards crew puts on one top notch production. If you've never been, I highly recommend it.
I'm in New York for the Boards Summit until Thursday. One of the items on the agenda today is In the Directors Chair, where some of the industry's top and emerging directors will discuss the current state of international commercial production. One of the panelists is Matt Lenski, who did these hilarious BK spotsvia Reginald Pike.
Attention animal lovers. Lowe Roche Toronto has created a fun little microsite for Purina - TalkingPets.ca. On it you can send Purr & Woof mail, test your pet IQ & upload pictures of your own pet to the site. I'm sure it'll proved hours of entertainment for those who love their four-legged friends.
