http://www.ad-titude.com Connecting news and opinions in the advertising community en-us A new spot out of TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles for Visa Cheque Cards. This one takes place in a diner or cafeteria with an industrial routine. Everything operates smoothly until (of course) one black sheep pays with cash... http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=163 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=163 Found on Creative Classics http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=162 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=162 Once again we have Nexus Productions on the spotlight, and if you're not sure what I'm talking about you can refer to our last post, and to the Grand Theft Auto Coca Cola ad (one of our personal favorites) to see some of their work. The first spot was conceived by DLKW and Partners, London. It features 4 characters based on the Ebay logo, where each character represents a letter from the logo. http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=161 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=161 This recent spot by Wieden+Kennedy features two little 3D critters which look like the offspring of the pilsbury doughboy if he got busy with a cartoon duck. The ad is for Orange, a Romanian telecommunications company. The ad was created by the 3d studio nexus, the same studio that created the hugely popular Grand Theft Auto Coca Cola advertisement. http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=160 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=160 This ad is for Dominoes Pizza's latest creation, an Oreo Cookie dessert pizza. It's as scary looking as it sounds. Yes, I know the everyone was shocked when they first discovered pineapple tastes good on pizza, but there is nothing that can convince us that an Oreo pizza tastes good. http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=159 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=159 This new campaign for the World Wildlife Fund Canada has been making its rounds on the net over the last week. The ad shows many disturbing images of disaster areas, such as hurricanes and floods, and in each case there is somebody casually going about their day to day business. In the case of the hurricane you see a couple walking along with their baby stroller, likewise in the case of the flood you see a man washing his car. The ad ends with a voiceover saying 'Ignoring global warming won't make it go away.' http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=158 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=158 Did any of you suffer when Ellen DeGeneres made that American Express card where she dances around her office? Did any of you think: "doesn't that lady made enough money to be able to avoid the embarrassment of such a lame ad?" We sure did. But, Ellen is back and ready to redeem herself with this clever and cute little ad featuring her and a bunch of furry friends. http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=157 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=157 The agency responsible for this piece is LA based HEAT. The spot is called Night Sky and uses in-game footage to put the viewer in the drivers seat. Need for Speed: Carbon launched today, November 1 2006, and will likely cause riots at the local videogame outlets http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=156 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=156 Here's a cool little 3D for the Volkswagen Touran. The ad is definitely nice eye-candy, but we don't really get the message. After a chaotic train ride through toyland the voiceover says 'Finally, It's great to be a dad' and an image of a Touran sitting on a small island in a pond is displayed http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=155 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=155 The agency responsible for this piece is LA based HEAT.

The ads are for OneCall, a Norwegian broadband company. The ads were created by Norway based BUG, a design studio which creates motion graphics, visual effects and 3D animation for film, broadcast and commercials, as well as post production and editing. http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=150 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=150 This campaign for Kodak rechargeable batteries comes out of South Asia. The ads each depict dead animals alive and kicking. Funny concept, although the ad with the mouse is a little disturbing (at least to us N. American viewers.) The campaign was created by Ogilvy and Mather Malaysia http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=149 http://www.ad-titude.com/comments.php?postid=149 Consider yourselves warned.
