Sometimes the best place to track down advertising art is to take a look at the Director’s Reel. &Radical.Media is an award winning production company with full offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin and Sydney. At their site, after entering through the ‘flash’ doorway, you’ll find a choice of directors or photography. Click on photography and you’ll find a list of their offices. Click on there and you’ll find the directors associated with each office. Click on the director and you’ll be taken to a new window with four or five quicktime videos to load and play. The first one is the reel – with the other three or four collated into one file. Below is a list of the directors from Sydney with their featured television commercials.
