Cables from windows become a street-art type ad for BBC World. By Elizabeth Berrien for BBDO NY.

Nice work by photographer Paul Thompson.

From the Youtube entry:

The “Revolution” spot created by Austin-based GSD&M Idea City incorporates unprecedented technology to film the combustion process of a BMW M3 V8 engine without using computer generated effects.

Filming the process was not easy. Manifolds were cut, cylinders shaved, and lighting holes were drilled in three complete M3 V8 engines for Director Raf Wathion to use special cameras and lenses to capture the action.

Sehr toll!

I’ve been asked to write an article for dutch ad-mag Adformatie about the similarities and differences between the Art Directors Club and Spinawards here in Holland. After I did a final check-before-going-to-press the editor made a big error by replacing the word ‘Goeiemoogle’ with ‘Goeiemoggel’ (here’s a blogpost that explains the Goeiemoggel campaign and the fact that Kong only did the online bit).

‘Hors categorie’ …I wonder what that means?

Anyhow, here’s the right version (in dutch, but with these nifty hyperlinks that everyone’s talking about):

New commercial by Schweppes with bursting balloons at 10,000 frames per second. Music by Cinematic Orchestra.

Tranquilizing.

We’ve only been going for a few months and its the only dutch award show we entered so I was more then a little ecstatic when I got this email last night:

…three Art Directors Club nominations for KPN and Oxfam.

Incredible..

There probably will be quite a few Euro 2008 virals this year. This one here is a fun & simple skill game made by Rubberrepublic for JVC.

I stumbled upon this rather nice advergame type thingy tonight while shopping around for a mountainbike carrier for my car. Its called The Thule Trail and its made in the style of the Lucasarts SCUMM adventures from back in the day.
