It’s been a busy week at Duncan’s TV Ad Land. Since November 13 I’ve posted on the following television commercials.
XBox Champagne – a baby shoots through a window, ageing into an old man as he flies over the countryside, eventually landing in a grave. “Life is short, play hard”.
Truth Campaign – anti smoking adverts inviting young people to join a movement that challenges powerful companies
XBox 360 Jump In – a water balloon fight to the sounds of Teddy Bear Picnic and a community jump rope exhibition to the sounds of Din Daa Daa.
Unicef Anti-War campaign bombs the Smurfs Village, killing adults and leaving baby smurfs orphaned.
VW Passat – 120 short flash animations
Dirt is Good – the Omo/Persil campaign promoting healthy earthy play
Glue Store Customs – the ad that goes close to the bone on having boogie board bags checked in Indonesian customs.
Nike Squirrel – an ad that encourages people to reincarnate in this life.
Mitsubishi Ultimate – the one where the people move the roads around to provide a challenging twisty course for the powerful but agile 380.
Bud Light Fridge – a Canadian film directed by an Australian – flatmates burrow through the wall into the neighbours’ fridge to pilfer their six pack of Bud Light.
Lynx Jet Fantasy – the one where the guys dream themselves on a flight where women fall over them constantly.
Coming up… advertisements preparing for the White Ribbon Day – challenging violence against women.
