DirecTV: Questions

I've posted some Cannes awarded Direct TV commercials bases on a ripple effect (1, 2, 3), but this new one, from Grey NY,  is a bit different. And it is a marvelous one. I'm not saying that because I'm a fan of John Cleese (well, I am), but this spot is so beautifully directed. Watch it a couple of times, at least, because Tom Kuntz managed to squeeze 23 different setups in a 30 second spot!

Google Fiber: The Next Chapter of the Internet

From Dial-Up speeds to Broadband and, now, to Google Fiber. Google promises speeds 100 times faster. They call it, The Next Chapter of the Internet. To showcase this performance they made this awesome model installation with cars built by hand. The installation now resides in the Fiber Space in Kansas City.

Amstel Lager: The boxer

This is top-notch advertising. The new spot for Amstel Lager has it all. Great filming, photography, script, soundtrack and most important a solid insight. It talks about taking your time and doing things right. It is the story of boxer, Thapelo ‘Tick Tock’ Mokoena, who was impatient, tried to get a title too soon and fell. With the help of the community that supported him, he learned to take his time, rediscover the joy of boxing, and made a glorious comeback.

New York International Latino Film Festival

Great set of ads. Funny, to the point and so true. Holywood movies are so predictable. The recipe is the same everytime. The tagline: "Some movies are easy to make, films are a different story." talks to the heart of film lovers.

Audi: Audi City London - Digital Showroom

Audi launched its first digital showroom. Audi City is the showroom of the future. It is compact. It uses state-of-the-art technology to showcase, in a fully digital way, Audi's entire model line-up. The video is impressive, this showroom might be the future, but, call me old fashioned, I like to get inside a real car when I go to a dealer.
