June 19, 2010 in Advertising as Art, Celebrity, Commercials, Cool, International, Legendary, Sports, video | 1 comment

On the very top of my list of favorite World Cup videos that i’ve ever see so far, here’s one called 1284 from Y&R Brazil and Energy. It begins with soccer legend Pelé saying,

If I could replay my life, maybe if I scored my last goal with the Brazilian Team, i’d like that…

Shot entirely at Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo this production involved more than 250 professionals a well over 500 cast members. On top of that a handful of professional players were involved in the shoot in addition to a few famous Brazilian sports and journalist icons like Rivellino, Carlos Alberto Torres, Orlando Duarte and Osmar de Oliveira.

A tip of the hat on this one…. well done.

April 12, 2010 in Alternative Advertising, Celebrity, Cool, Fast Food, TV, Vintage | Comments closed

This is one videoclip that must have been pulled from the deep back corners of the archives: It’s Kentucky Fried Chickens celebrity spokesman, founder & social icon Colonel Harland Sanders as the weekly guest on the popular CBS game show What’s My Line? (circa 1964). People talk a lot these days about “You are now the brand” or about “Brands coming to life,” well here’s an example of one company that made their brand come to life in the everyday life of its’ founder…RIP my dear old southern friend.

Johnnie Walker – How To Tell Your Brand’s Story

August 7, 2009 in Advertising as Art, Alternative Advertising, Branding, Celebrity, Cool, Interactive, Legendary, marketing | 1 comment

Now this is very cool! Titled The Man Who Walked Around The World, this short promotional video involves Robert Carlisle (Trainspotting, Hamish MacBeth and the Full Monty) walking through the Scottish highlands narrating a killer version of the history behind Johnnie Walker. It starts out with Robert telling a bagpiper to ‘Shut It’ so he can start his story, which is a rather impressive five minute continuos shot of the actor walking through the misty countryside while interacting with various props (including getting a drink) along the way. It took 40 takes for them to get this on film in one, unedited shot. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Produced by creative director Nick Mahoney for BBH London, this spot was conceptualized by creatives Justin Moore and Jamie Rafn (Ruben Mercadel was the agency producer). Shot on location near Loch Doyne in Perthshire, Scotland, by director Jamie Rafn from HLA with George Richmond as the DOP.

Glyn Tebutt from Glassworks was responsible for the visualfx with editing done by Kate Owen from Marshall Street Editors. Aaron Reynolds from Wave Studios designed the sound(which was composed by Jamie Masters from Adelphoi Music).
