Friday, June 17, 2011 at 07:03PM Hold onto your hat. Here's a clip from comedic documentary about Rhett McLaughlin & Link Neal who traveled the country making bad commercials for small businesses around the country. Funny, but kind of scary too.\
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 10:50PM This tasteless commercial for Stride gum shocks me.... it's in such horrible taste that you have to wonder how JWT would be willing to recommend it; what kind of brand manager would ever agree to produce it, test it and run it? Director Michael Downing shold be embarrassed to have his name associated with this commercial. Perhaps it's a late, late April Fool's day joke.... I sure hope so. Just goes to show that a commercial depicting long lasting with a death analogy must also be in bad taste.
Monday, May 16, 2011 at 05:30PM Great series of commercials directed by Bryan Buckley for New Era Cap Company (MLB Hats). The commercials center on Alec Baldwin's love for the Yankees versus John Krasinicki's die hard loyalty to the Boston Red Sox. Trash Talking, No Hitter is the latest installment of the commercial series.
Here's another in the series titled Philadelphia.
This is great stuff. A fun series, but how much punch does it really offer New Era? You be the judge.
Monday, May 16, 2011 at 11:15AM This fine art of video making is popular with high school and college aged kids. They are fun and creative, differing from a standard lip synced video in that they are normally shot as one continuous take with lots of camera action and/or action in front of the camera. Here are a couple fun ones.
Nice idea - filmed and run backwards.
Good movement. This video was shot by the Brooks Film Society in 2011. Song is Don't Ever Look Back.
