Freixenet - The Key to Reserva
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!

Entertainment like you've never seen it before
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.

Blockbuster Christmas
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.

This spot was shot on steadicam in two parts and The Mill did some work to make it feel like it's one continuous shot. Click here for the full scoop on how it was made. Agency is Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco.

ADCC Awards
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.

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.

For the Dogs
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.

Psyop brings Navigon to life
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.

What's with the bunnies?
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.

Jerry Seinfeld for HP
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.
