today and tomorrow

This is nice TV spot for the Nike Lab; the idea isn’t that groundbreaking, but the execution is excellent.

‘Audi Symphony’ is an audio visual composition created by the promotion agency Bullet for the launch of the Audi R8 in Brasil. It was performed during ‘The Art Of Performance’ event in São Paulo. 41 musicians, 1 meastro and 3 Dj’s took the stage, backed up with 3 large video projections. The result is the perfect soundtrack to the videos of the Audi R8.

Be Kanye is a viral campaign for Absolut Vodka, starring Kanye West. Would you like to have famous superstar power? Then prepare yourself for the miracle of … Be Kanye.

‘Ordering Be Kanye was the ABSOLUT best thing I’ve ever done for myself.’

You have to give him some credit for this, and I still love that video for ‘Can’t tell me Nothing‘.

These 3 ads were made by TBWA Paris and photographed by Vincent Fournier. I only show you these because of the imagery and the wool clothing. Maybe the art or creative director has a wool fetish.

Maybe you have noticed, I’m quite a big fan of Joy Division. This video for Disorder was cut together from scenes from the movie ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’. Excellent work!

So today is my last day at work, almost everything is done …
This time I’ll only have a fews off, till I start my new job at Plantage Berlin.

Stained Glass is a project by Posterchild, he does streetart. He placed a variation of the Pixelator over HD screens installed over subway entrances in New York. It basically difusses the light of the screen and turns the video ads in an animated stained glass piece. Blah blah blah … watch the video.

Beautiful!!!

‘Blank is Like Blank‘ is a blog by Justin Feinstein, the tag line is ‘Analogies to live by’. His current one is ‘Advertising is like porn’.

Advertising is like porn
They both have weird self-congratulatory award shows.

… which reminds me, Cannes Lions starts this sunday.
Other good ones:

Advertising is like porn
The same concepts are endlessly recycled.

Advertising is like porn
Working in the industry will affect your family life at some point.

Erik Wåhlström is a Swedish photographer who made these images for the Björn Borg Peace on Earth campaign. Indeed that’s how Swedish tennis girls look like. He has some behind the scene shots and videos on his blog.

On May 31th 2008, Nike projected a choreographed slideshow of China’s Golden Athletes on 4 columns of the CCTV building in Beijing. Three of the columns featured the athletes in their competitive stance, to reflect their readiness and determination, while the fourth column featured the graphic motif from the competition gear, focusing on “China”.
It’s quite impressive what Nike already did in Beijing in the anticipation of the olympics, apparently they really recognized the fact that these olympics will get more attention than any other one.
