Here's the latest from Toronto's Zig (who I think need a new site - I was never a fan of that "tour guide" thing it opens with) for Mr. Sub. The "Bad Choices" campaign features three spots; Airport (my fav), Digging and Running. All three are directed by Partners' Joachim Back and I like how they are a bit dark for a fast food chain. Full credits are posted here.

The AdPawn has posted a great retrospective on the use of slow-motion in broadcast advertising. He has including some spots I'm sure you've seen, like the amazing Schwepps Burst, and others you may not have like Choice FM's Kill the Gun. Check it out.

For all of you out there who do not live in Canada I'm going to explain something to you. The Bloody Caesar is one on the best drinks in the world and is an integral part of Canadian culture (and a freaking amazing hang over cure). It's basically a Bloody Mary but made with Clamato (Mott's tomato clam cocktail) instead of tomato juice. That said, Tribal DDB has launched Lamato - a spoof site on social networking sites and it's as great as a Caesar tastes (man I want one now). The scoop, YouTube links and full credits are posted here.

Here's the latest from Psyop and the second spot to be released from their new LA office. Maestro is for the new HP TouchSmart PC and the Psyop directors are Todd Mueller and Kylie Matulick. I've asked them for a few words on the creation of this spot - so check back for that (if you are interested). Agency is Goodby Silverstein & Partners. Full credits are here.
