Amazing Stop Motion.


Holy Crap this blows my mind. An amazing short film by Tomas Mankovsky called "Sorry I'm Late".




Check out the "Making of" videos on their website HERE

Awesome.

Incidentally, this was done with the same technique we used to shoot this EGM "Bridge" Ad last year:

Milkin' it.

Thought you'd heard it all when it comes to milk marketing messages? The folks at the California Milk Processing Board think not.

Here's a couple well done animated spots from Agency: Grupo Gallegos in Long Beach, CA





Some of GG's previous milk work:







Think With Your Dipstick Jimmy.



Glad to see the Keith's "spilly-talker" concept still has legs. Hopefully this actor has a better background.

Razor iPhone App

Just in time for the Stanley Cup Playoffs comes this great app for Gillette. Take a pic of someone, add a beard, then shave it off into any design. It even vibrates. Fun.

A great Honda spot shot completely in-camera (no green screens).



I had to watch it several times to catch them all. Pretty cool.

I can't hear you.

Apple vs. Microsoft (yawn)



Not a great spot, but it fits with the rest of them. What it does do is further prove my theory that Microsoft is wasting it's time and money advertising against Apple. What they should be investing in are worms and viruses designed to take down Macs. It's a no brainer really.

Shortcut to Brilliant

An awesome promotional short film for Adobe CS4 by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco.



How does one even conceive of this stuff? Donut socks... How cool is that?

McDonald's Piccadilly Circus

Awesome use of media. Then the pics creep onto everyone's Flickr pages... smart.

"No matter how perfectly you do something, it can still be improved" - Paul Rand

Punch Out is back!

I used to love that game back in the day. Now instead of the carpal tunnel inducing button smashing of days gone by, we will take our chances by actually throwing punches at our TV screens with wrist straps firmly secured.



I'm coming for you Glass Joe!

Let the Beat Build

Check out this dope video which was shot as a school project by up and coming rapper Nyle. Audio and video were recorded at the same time - all in one take.

More Bruins Bear

Here's some of the print campaign to accompany the great TV spots that have been running. "Never date a Flyers fan, even if she shaves her moustache". Great copywriting.






This could very well be Boston's year. I'm still rooting for my Blackhawks though.

Replay

As part of their "Mission G" initiative, Gatorade has created the following documentary style film called "Replay" which reunites two arch rival high school teams from PA and NJ to suit up one more time and settle a score from 16 years ago where their annual cross-town game (a 103 year old tradition) ended in a 7-7 tie.



Many have imagined going back and suiting up one more time. These guys get to do it. Full pads, and full contact, in front of 20,00 hometown fans. They're even reunited the school bands and cheerleader squads. Plus, for good measure, Gatorade has thrown in Eli and Peyton Manning to each be a honorary coaches.



Here's the trailer:





Part One:





So far, there are 3 parts posted on the Mission G site.



Click here for part two.



A great play for Gatorade! Can't wait to see the game.
