Increase In Currency (Money love)

When Abe and Queen Elisabeth II get together… things happen! :-)

Note: for extra viewing pleasure hit HQ button.

Now this is one daring commercial for finance consulting firm Bontrust Finance that was made by creative team Grabarz & Partner Werbeagentur GmbH from Hamburg. Congrats to fine people at GPW!

I’m sure this will go viral.

This animation has been done in Softimage XSI and it features Abraham Lincoln, Queen Elisabeth II and Mao Zedong. Clearly, the creative team had to learn quite a bit about origami which they did.

Cool TV ad for Virgin Trains titled “Success express”.

If you pay close attention you will only notice it’s “Final Countdown” (do you remember the hair metal band Europe?) playing in the background but that there’s also Sir Richard Branson, the flamboyant company’s boss, appearing somewhere in the ad. Can you see him?

It’s worth mentioning that this ad has been produced by London-based agency Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy who have a really cool site done in Flash.

Look at how far can you go when geeking out with portable devices and Bluetooth.

Without doing any background checks, my guess is that this is a nice viral campaign for Vodafone. ;-)

Thanks to Toni for discovering this to me.

Seven TV commercials by Swedish director Roy Andersson. According to Ingmar Bergman, these are the best in the world. I kinda like them too.

Thanks to Ogi for sharing this one.

Sprint the Now Network

I like commercials like this - fun, fast-pased and informative.

This one has been made by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and the client is US mobile carrier Sprint, obviously.

And here’s that talking dog to justify the informative part above. ;-)

$Wow! What a simple yet wonderful idea! With this type of direct marketing it has never been so easy and effective to attract people with a dire need of exercise. It gets me thinking… advertising is as versatile as design and possibilities in design are endless. Likewise, it can be as fun and fulfilling to the consumer. So when you see a boring or serious ad, ask yourself “Why so serious?” and just forget it. ;-) There’s so many fun ads, products in the world to enjoy. Ads turn our attention to a fraction of bazillion of products out there. One of them can become something we truly enjoy. A good ad is just a good beginning of an engaging relation with the customer.

A very entertaining Nike commercial for Nike+ from 72andSunny agency.

It’s entertaining to see the likes of Roger Federer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Fernando Torres, Tony Parker and, the last and not least, Eva Longoria, having fun in this video clip.

You may see this commerical with a different music. The Gnarls Barkley tune Run is the proper one. Between shitty music and embedded comments in Hungarian, I’ve chosen the lesser of two evils. ;-)

Enjoy!

Extreme Sheep LED Art

We took to the hills of Wales armed to the teeth with sheep, LEDs and a camera, to create a huge amazing LED display. Of sorts.

Hilarious, isn’t it? :-)
I believe this video will do more good to eco-friendly lighting than any intentional green infomercial I have seen so far.

Props go out to Vita for digging this one out!
