Here's the latest from W+K Portland for Nike/Dick's Sporting Goods. The spot is called The Line and is a co-production between Psyop and sister company Blacklist. The spot features celebrity football star Troy Polamalu and was created to pay homage to Troy Polamalu's “split personality” of being known to be a sweet gentlemen off the field and a feared warrior during the game. The live action was directed by Cisma (Blacklist) and Eben Mears (Psyop). The animation was directed and executed by Cisma and his team. View full credits and some hi-res stills here.

Here are four new spots for Ask.com created by Fallon, London for UK television. I like the viral look to this campaign especially since I know that they were never intended to be virals, but always made to be broadcast on TV.
