Sears - Home Appliance

This is the work of Scott Rench, a former co-worker of mine. I enjoy the ability to tell a good story and provide information in a tight 30 seconds.

The guys from Scotland that I worked with last year put this up online today. I think they are trying really hard to get their name out especially in the midwest advertising market but it made me thing of the Story and Heart stuff. I have been part of several conversations about making videos like this. Root could put out content about how we do what we do and in my mind specifically about how and why we tell stories with video. I think this and Story and Heart show that there is a space out there for these videos.

Quicken Loans Projection Piece

We have all seen, and some of us have made (myself included), a narrator driven piece using stock footage to evoke emotion. But while I patiently waited for the video I actually wanted to see on YouTube, this ad struck me.

In it, projections are placed on the object of desire and coupled with inspirational and aspirational imagery. Loans aren't cool, but what they represent absolutely is.

Squarespace / Dreaming with Jeff

I really like the tone of this. So much advertising can be abrasive, while this conveys a message in a way thats quirky, endearing, and authentically Jeff Bridges. This campaign effort is simple at its surface and has depth if you want to explore further. Check out Dreaming with Jeff

IKEA Halloween

An excellent nod to Kubrick's Shining. Lots of fun hidden things that Jackie does not understand... Just playing JL.

Dad Makes Goth Daughter Feel More At Home

This German home improvement ad quickly weaves together a nice little story without the use of dialog.

Bible of Barbecue

Totally innovative, memorable, tangible, and experiential, this is a "book" like no other. The book itself is a guide to BBQ. I can see applied to the physical delivery of our deliverables.

Make every yard count - Nike

Using crowd funded images and submitted through social media, this film utilizes 1,440 images and 1 pissed off pigeon.

Weird Japanese Advertisements

Beautiful videos on Vimeo are cool and all - sometimes inspiration comes from elsewhere

Epic Split

JCVD has not had it easy. This is pretty common knowledge... Jackie Jean Claude Van Damme is a karate guy who was big on the early 90s starring in a movie called blood sport, and other movies of similar ilk. So when I saw this spot this was my thought process.

Time 1: "Wow, that was really funny and that music timing hit perfectly, damn those trucks are going backwards"

Time 2: "This is strangely poetic and JCVD has been through a lot, I feel for him, this is ridiculous and awesome"

Time 3: "There is something so powerful about a single shot. We never do this, and should"

Johnnie Walker - Walk

Where to start? The writing? The epic tracking shot? Very awesome piece.

The Grumpy King

Through a series of links from Dave's last post. We were able to dig up this little gem. The art direction is outstanding and the writing is great too.

Get Involved (HD)

This = Hell yes. This made me think of Hilton/Hampton immediately. This got me jazzed.
