André from Advertising etc. just sent me this great short from JWT Spain for Freixenet. The beginning of the film may have you wondering "who's on first" (Martin Scorsese cracks me up), but keep watching as it's a really amazing tribute to Hitchcock. Thanks André!

Here are five very theatrical ads for Sony PS3 directed by Biscuit's (via Independent) Noam Murro for TBWALondon. I love the flamboyant characters and bold colours, Beautiful. There is also a "making" of video going around. It's posted on Creativity here, where it'll be free for seven days and then you'll need a subscription to view.

Poland-based Pawel Nolbert, freelance designer and illustrator, has just updated his portfolio site HelloColor! with some great new work including such brands as Nike, McDonald's and Fanta. Scooped from Computerlove.

Mom from The Christmas Tree is back and this time she's on the phone. The Phone Call is an exclusive premiere for the HBO Comedy Festival and stars John Roberts. Written by John Roberts & Clay Weiner; director: Clay Weiner; DP: Drew DeNicola; editor: Jesse Reisner. Clay Weiner was recently signed to Biscuit Filmworks for US representation. Check Clay's recent "Dude" spot for Bud Light. Hilarious.

I really love this Blockbuster Christmas spot via DDB Toronto. It's well executed, seamlessly shot and it's a bit of a brain-tease (apparently there are around 35 film references in it, visual and spoken). Anyone know where "you're gonna need a bigger boat" is from? DDB creatives: Shane Ogilvie & Joel Pylypiw. Director: Jeff Labbe of Spy Films. Thanks to Freddy at a/d goodness for posting.

Director/photographer Graydon Sheppard has just launched his latest series of photographs, Are We Having Fun Yet?, on his website. On a side note, Graydon is currently available for commercial representation and you can view his work here. The spooky Scream TV campaign he directed via Zig picked up a couple of media lions in Cannes.

To promote the January opening of its flagship London store, Nokia has lit-up Regent Street. The lights are interactive and react to the movement of people walking beneath them, they change formation depending upon the amount of pedestrians in the street and they respond to environmental factors such as wind and sunlight levels. Agency is Wieden+Kennedy and the installation is designed by United Visual Artists. Scooped from CRblog.

Canada's Art Directors Club (ADCC) Awards were last Thursday night (I've been busy so am late posting) and all of the winners are posted online here. If you have a moment, please check out the Philip's radio spots (yes radio). These three spots have just the perfect amount of sexual innuendo and who doesn't like that? The winners site is flash, so I can not give you a direct link. Just go to "categories" then to "advertising broadcast radio" & then to "radio campaign" -- it won gold.

This naughty Orangina spot is the latest from Psyop (via Stink and The Mill) for FFL, Paris. "I guess it goes without saying that when you get the opportunity to spray Orangina all over the chest of a sexy bunny girl, you go for it", says Psyop's Todd Mueller. View Naturally Juicy here or a bigger hi-res version here and it's also on YouTube here. Full credits are here.

The naughtiness continues in FFL Paris' print component of the Orangina Naturally Juicy campaign. View the 12 very sexy images in the campaign here. Full credits are posted here.

Here's the latest from Kenny Herzog and Clay Weiner for Bud Light via DDB Chicago. The versatility of the word "dude" is amazing. One thing I really want to know is, what's going on in that alley? Full credits are here. And I heard, not sure if this is true, that there is a UK "Mate" spot.

First off, I don't have a dog. I'm allergic. But numerous friends of mine insist on dressing theirs and if they are going to continue doing it (you know who you are) they might as well put something on them that will bring a smile and maybe even a laugh to other's faces. These Timmie dog jackets will do just that. Agency: DDB, Toronto. Scooped from Freddy at Advertising/Design Goodness.

The annual Marks & Spencer Christmas extravaganza has arrived, and this year the scene has moved from the Bond-themed ice palace to Hollywood in the 1940s. Christmas Belles stars Twiggy, Erin O'Connor, Lizzie Jagger, Laura Bailey, Noemie Lenoir and Antonio Banderas. Agency: Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R; Director: Dawn Shadfort (RSA).

Here's the latest from Psyop via TwoXFour, Chicago for Navigon, the only GPS device with what they are calling "reality view" and "lifetime traffic". So it'll get you where you are going with pretty pictures of the traffic that is making you late. As someone with no sense of direction and who is often late, I can appreciate that. Full credits are here.

Here's another great spot for Stella Artois this time from Stockholm's Alphabetical Order. Scooped from Boards. Agency is Lowe Brindfors, Stockholm and Lowe, London.

Is it just me or are bunnies popping up everywhere in advertising lately? Nagi Noda's Monoprix, Microsoft Zune first this one and now this one, a bunny cameo in this Noam Murro spot, Tim Godsall's Traveler's Insurance, an early spot from The Perlorian Brothers and of course Sony Bravia. I'm not complaining, I like bunnies, just making an observation.

This broke last week but I just came across it now. I have to say I prefer Jerry in his AMEX ads, but I like him so I'm posting this anyway. On a side note, I'll watch the same episodes of Seinfeld over and over. All except for the Chinese restaurant one, as I find it too painful in that "it's so awkward it's hard to watch" way. View his HP spot here. Scooped from elmaaltshift.

Terminus is a short film by director Trevor Cawood which was completed this past summer and has been screened at both the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Swerve Festival, Los Angeles. Cawood is a partner and co-founder of The Embassy VFX (Vancouver) and he's recently been signed to Biscuit Filmworks for US representation. Terminus was produced by Spy Films in Toronto, who reps Cawood internationally. Full credits are here and it's also posted on YouTube here.

This spot was presented in a panel discussion at the Boards Summit. It made me laugh out loud and I really don't remember if I had seen it before. So here is Bud Light "Swear Jar" from DDB Chicago. It was posted on YouTube and on Bud TV back in May.

For those who are already pining for next season of Mad Men, why don't you dive head first into the golden years of UK advertising, the 60's, 70's and 80's. Back when men were alcoholics, women never climbed above the title of secretary, and all paychecks for creatives were insanely huge. View full details of of this book here. Scooped from AdLand.
