Posted by Rindert Dalstra on March 17, 2010 No comments yet

A few years ago Axe (Lynx in the UK) made a commercial with a lot of women in bikini hunting down a guy who’s spraying himself with Axe deodorant. Specsavers, the biggest optical retailer in the UK, made this amusing parody.

Stella Artois: Woman Vs Beer

Posted by Bert Callens on March 15, 2010 No comments yet

Stella Artois and Mother London are the perfect match. Their commercials nowadays always have this “vintage-french”-feeling (but we know better). This new commercial also does, and compares a pint with a woman..
And believe it or not, they don’t differ that much…

Pepsi: Max the wild side

Posted by Rindert Dalstra on March 2, 2010 1 comment

Barcelona superstar and FIFA World Player of the Year Lionel Messi along with his Barcelona team-mate Thierry Henry, Chelsea duo Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard, and Liverpool talisman Fernando Torres all teamed up with Pepsi MAX to show their true colours as part of the new bodypaint campaign.

Jeroen, a good friend of ours, gave us this new TV commercial, which was filmed in Africa. It highlights the talents of the ‘MAX football stars’.

Earlier this year, Pepsi MAX launched the track, ‘Oh Africa’, which was recorded by Akon, Keri Hilson, the Soweto Gospel Choir and 16 aspiring musicians from around the world. The track will be the anthem for the new football TV commercial.

Pictures of the players can be viewed after the jump.

D-fence: Barbed wire

Posted by Rindert Dalstra on February 17, 2010 1 comment

This print advert was made for D-fence, a company that specializes in barbed wire. It is a type of fencing wire constructed with sharp edges but in this case the barbed wire is giving only one edge. That is the tough attitude by giving us the finger.

Vision Express: Eyeballs

Posted by Rindert Dalstra on February 7, 2010 No comments yet

This ‘Eyeballs’ commercial made for Vision Express features a synchronized choreographed display of 225 people with eyeballs for heads.

It shows the eyeballs carrying out a variety of moves in perfect synchronization to celebrate the complexity of eyes.

For the spot they used a specially designed cueing system, to ensure the cast who were all 1,75 m (5ft 9) reacted accurately to the highly intricate timings required. After the animation was completed, each of the 225 grid positions were output to a circuit board which then sent individual signals to each performer.

Last year they’ve made this really amusing ad showing a man commute to home, in a giant waterslide.

It has such positive reactions that Barclaycard and their agency BBH decided to create a new one..
The video beneath shows one man’s liberating commute to the office on a rollercoaster that winds through New York. Imagine..
