Good music and insanely good visuals of random acts of kindness captured from security cameras around the world.
You can’t help but feel good. I feel sorry for Pepsi just watching this.
Good Superbowl Ads – God Made a Farmer
Normally I’m not too much a fan of these lifestyle sorts of adverts which lie on the heavy side of emotion rather than showing a product. But this one for Dodge is a cinematic beauty. Loads of lovely HDR photos shown in a slideshow format over the top of a Paul Harvey reading about farming. Product shots abound in amongst the grizzled faces of American farmers.
Beautiful stuff. Should get people talking.
The Dog that thinks its a Car
This is just great. You get a feeling of fun throughout, the same fun you have as a kid when your’re out running about and pretending you are a racing car or a giant truck.
VW (or at least their agencies) just keep on getting it right. No matter how boring their car looks or is, their adverts continue to add the sense of fun that owning and driving a car conveys.
Beep, beep, beep for reversing.
Win, win, win for creativity.
Comfortable Weather Guy
Everybody’s favourite non-conformist, Speedo wearing, don’t give a ****, drink chugging, man about beach is back.
Southern Comfort are stretching the life of their character having him appear in a series of videos titled Comfortable Weather Guy that help display the weather in your town. It’s all good harmless stuff that helps us chaps find our inner man and revel in the good old fashioned nature of it all.

And here’s where it began:
Pantone Calendar for 2013
We’ve arrived in 2013 and for those with a planning head on, that means a chance to put up a new calendar on the wall. Here’s one with a tonne of colour from the home of colour itself, Pantone. Super nice looking, loads of visual stuff going on, bright colours, touches of humour. A winner all round.
Bit difficult to find in the UK but Amazon have a few sellers with them.
Buyral – the ultimate viral making video
Bloody hell, this is genius. From the clever buggers at John St.
So prescient too. This does appear to be where our lives are heading. It’s Mechanical Turk taken to the nth degree. The increasing digitisation of our lives heads to one finite point where we click videos and ads of products to like them so that we can earn money to buy the crap in the videos.
Love the next step stuff. Wiring in every clickable button from elevators, pin pads to whack-a-moles!
The ultimate conclusion. This:
Black Mirror – 15 Million Merits – Pedal Chamber from Painting Practice on Vimeo.
Stand up and take a bow Ikea
Nice one Ikea. Just hats off all round. To client. Agency (Mother). Director. Production people. Everyone.
Just nice. (Well except for the music, which is a bit twee, but you can’t have everything).
