BMW M5 - "Bullet" high performance art

Awesome video from BMW. An M5 going through a glass apple, water balloons and a shooting target, extremely fast but shown in a super slow bullet motion. Imagine a frame rate as high as a 1000 frames per second.

UNIQLO: Dry Mesh Project

Uniqlo hacked Pinterest to showcase their products. The "Uniqlo Dry Mesh Project," managed to cut through ‘scrolling slumber’ with a simultaneous pinning event. They created 100 separate user accounts and dominated Pinterest with their pins. When users scrolled through the page a branded Uniqlo mosaic appeared. Excellent work from Firstborn New York.

McDonald's: Behind The Scenes at a McDonald's Photo Shoot

McDonald's Canada created a site where you can ask any question and they will answer. So, when someone asked "Why does your food look different in the advertising than what is in the store?" McDonald's went out and made a behind the scenes video of a photo shoot.

Banco Popular: The Most Popular Song (Cannes 2012)

This is the first ever Grand Prix Lion for Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico, 60% of the population receive government handouts because no one wants to work. It's so common to live off welfare that the biggest salsa hit of all time is "No Hago Más Ná" by El Gran Combo which translates to "I don't do anything". Banco Popular which is the biggest bank in Puerto Rico, wanted to change that attitude. They convinced El Gran Combo to rewrite the lyrics of this classic song. Watch the case study.

Sustainable Light Swing

This light swing must be very impressive at night. It is an interactive light installation that uses the energy of the swing to light the LEDs.

The Light Swing was created by Guilherme Pena Costa and Ingrid Gabor during a master program in Interactive Telecommunication at New York University.

DNA Project: Cape Town Station Activation

It seems that South Africans are messing up crime scenes and disturbing evidences. The result: Thousands of criminals escape conviction. The DNA Project set out to educate the public never to interfere with a crime scene. They created a 6x8m canvas out of small white stones. Onto this they spray painted the giant mugshot of a criminal. As people walked over the installation the criminal’s identity became more and more unrecognisable.

Tulipan: Ungrateful

This is a new approach to condom ads. An old folks home is a strange set but Young & Rubicam Buenos Aires does a great job and delivers the message. Use Tulipan condoms or suffer the consequences of an ungrateful son.
