Love Newcastle, and love this new comercial. Not only is the subject funny, but I think the subtle, delivery of the actors really helps pull this together.

Is this the future of shopping? Do they already have this in Japan? Could people conceivably buy clothes like this based on how things only “look” on them? This could happen, but there are other factors, feel, texture, breathability that people buy clothes for too. With a desktop camera you wouldn’t even have to GO to a store. It could be a glimpse into the future, it could be Xanadu the “House of the future” that no one ever built. You decide.

Here is a video from Toyota staring their product, the Sienna mini van, and a couple who’ve been tethered to it in the latest Sienna campaign. What’s interesting to me is that this is a straight up video from Toyota, not a commercial in the traditional sense. It pushes the product, but in a different and more passive way, and is really vying to be fun and creative enough to get noticed and passed around on youtube, the internet and blogs like mine. Mission accomplished.

Here is the New Nike Ad, “Write the Future” in it’s full length format. They say it’s their best commercial ever, which is really saying something. I just think it’s fast paced, fun, and makes me think of soccer in a whole new light. And that is REALLY saying something.

Here is a heart-warming short-film (3 min) about getting what you want out of life through the eyes of an 80 year old ski instructor. If only life could be this clear for all of us.

Around the world in 80 days used to be a feat, but now through the magic of video you can see it all in just 80 seconds. Don’t need your shots, plane tickets or passport, don’t even have to leave the confines of your chair. Bon Voyage! (That’s “Bawn Voy-adge-eee” if you’re currently speaking Bugs Bunny.)

I hope you’re not chewing gum when you’re watching this, because you’ll either A.) Spit it out, or B.) Choke on it. This is a new “mobile transportation device” created by Honda. Think Segway only smaller. Pretty incredible in the fact that it stands on it’s own, because of gyroscopes like the Segway I presume, and that it can move sideways or even diagnal, AND fit in your luggage. I don’t think I’d run out and get one, (no pun intended), but I can see many different applications for this inacluding elderly (maybe outfitted with seatbelts), for assisting disabled and who knows?

Gosh people are stupid right? We can’t do anything right, and that’s why we need informercials. To help us recover and get some assemblance of an existance together to make it through the day. So here is AS SEEN ON TV, a compilation to a catchy tune about not getting it right, and needing some “miracle” product that would solve all our problems for the low low cost of _____ easy payments. And with a free gift. Right Studio Audience?

Got this great short film from my cousin Rachel. She says it’s pretty neat, and I couldn’t agree more. In “Pixels” by Patrick Jean, New York comes alive in full 8-bit color and sound, just like the Atari games of old, but not in a way that you’d imagine. See Jean’s creativity unleashed on a vibrant and unaware New York metropolis, as his pixel creations decimate the city. One of my favs was left out though, Pitfall. Here’s hoping for a sequel.
