  • Holidays x Windows Phone

    We remembered this spot from last year because of its re-use of the classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer characters. What we had no idea about was that the spot was worked on in part by local editor, Michael Ward. The spot was the brainchild of Bent Image Labs who have been cranking out some great work over the past couple years.

    60 Minutes in a Skateboarder´s Life from Sebastian Linda on Vimeo.

    This is an interesting short showing the amount of setup time it takes to capture a one second trick from a professional skateboarder. It's an interesting perspective on photos that we often take for granted. The short was produced by German filmmaker, Sebatian Linda.

  • Desire, the New Brand Film from Jaguar

    April 26th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Jaguar is taking the concept of the brand film to a completely new level with their 13 minute film from ad agency The Brooklyn Brothers and Ridley Scott's production company. The story follows a delivery man and his adventures through a Chilean desert in search of the new owner of a red F-Type. On his way he encounters a variety of strong, gun-toting characters and trouble ensues.

    This is definitely worth the time to check out. The production value is amazing, and the story is actually quite compelling. Compelling enough to spend $100k on a car? Perhaps not, but it is definitely a gorgeous showpiece for a company that manufactures a gorgeous car.

  • Crazy Driver on a Market Day Shows the Need for Quality Car Insurance

    April 26th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    The best way to draw people in is to get their attention. AXA Insurance, a french company worked with agency, Publicis Conseil, to do exactly that. They created an innovative guerilla-style spot showing a crowd of onlookers watch in amazement as an older woman crashes and slams into just about everything within a single city block. Point taken.

  • Apple Moves in a Different Direction with Latest iPhone 5 Ad

    April 26th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Apple's latest spot for the iPhone 5 moves in a decidedly different way. Where we normally see a focus on product features and the form factor itself, this spot focuses on people and the way they use their iPhone in everyday life. Taking that step away from internally focusing on the device and re-focusing it on how we integrate the iPhone and its features into our daily lives seems to be becoming a more common theme amongst tech companies lately (the new Facebook ads immediately come to mind). Perhaps we're looking at a more “experience” focused period of advertising coming up.
