Northface Explorer. Cinematography On a Wild Ride.

Great Concepts Stand Apart
Here’s a compelling ad for Facebook, that proves out the idea that great concepts power strong messages. This is beautiful stuff…. albeit images captured with a big budget.

Read PostRed Bull Pure Beauty

Read PostSuper Bowl XLVI – Ad Recap
Advertising was not the forte of this SB, Super Bowl XLVI. Come to think of it, neither was football. Perhaps it was the half time show, as Madonna put on a dynamic and entertaining show. She still has some magic… no wonder Lady Gaga steals her best stuff from the Madonna playbook. Anyway, the advertisers […]

Read PostNTT DoCoMo – Knock on Wood – Simple Idea
This could be one of the world’s longest xylophones built in a Japanese forest to promote the natural elements and a new wooden phone being introduced by NTT DoCoMo. The song? Bach’s classic Cantata 147. The commercial is a nice simple idea. For those of you who are my regular readers, my feelings about simple […]
Read PostTC Bank: Dream Rangers. Commercials as great film.
Here’s a commercial done by Ogilvy Asia for TC Bank called Dream Rangers. While it has 180 seconds to flesh out a great tale, it’s probably enough information to create a 90 minute movie. This is great film making from the flash backs to the travel scenes, to the tragic opening, it has great story […]
