Dolce & Gabbana D&G Time Commercial
Set to the chamber sounds of "Perfume" by Sparks, "D&G Time" opens with a mademoiselle luring her beau through a luxurious Parisian flat. Amid the twosome's sensual exchanges, tension escalates when another man arrives, peering from the shadows of the ominous quarters. The mademoiselle greets the second suitor, with sultry eyes, before a seductive game of cat-and-mouse entangles the trio into a bold rendezvous. As the temptress indulges in the sensuality of both men vying for her affection, the spot culminates in cunning fashion when, suddenly, her mother interrupts the decadent scene, letting out an appalled screech.

See It Love It CUPID Seat Ibiza Range Advert
Great new commercial for the new Seat Ibiza by Volkswagen.
The heart-shaped arrows he fires cause everyone who sees the car to fall in love with it – a natural reaction, of course, that’s already happening in SEAT showrooms across the country.
The multi-million pound campaign, which also features 4,000 bus stop billboards nationwide as well as print ads in glossy lifestyle titles such as Empire, Q, Heat, Closer and Now, will run well into 2010 as SEAT looks to build on a record-breaking 12 months of new and used car sales.
The adverts were filmed over the course of five nights in the central business district of Johannesburg in South Africa and use the latest computer-generated imagery, plus super-slow motion cameras, to create the unique pictures we’ll see on our screens.
Fully exploiting the growing influence of digital social media, SEAT’s winged love warrior will be starting his own Facebook page while ‘viral’ videos of both the TV advert and an interview with its main character will be appearing on YouTube.
SEAT UK National Communications Manager Rob Taylor said: ‘The premise of this campaign is built around the obvious love for SEAT’s sexy new Ibiza models.
‘But, SEAT being SEAT, we knew we couldn’t go for the clichéd image of a Cupid-style persona. We wanted to develop a different type of character, an archer with real attitude and street cred who spreads the love for Ibiza in an inimitable way.’
The TV ads, which have been cleared to run after 7:30 pm by Clearcast, broke on terrestrial television, Sky and a variety of digital channels on Saturday.

HP Patty Cake Commercial
"This was the perfect opportunity to showcase the diversity, flexibility and capability of the talent assembled at Shade and De Motu," noted Boardman. "HP, radical, and McCann are names long associated with excellence, and it is a testament to the post teams that they trust our creative and technical expertise. Everyone, from Dave (Meyers) to Brad, Gerald, Ryan and Vince at McCann, were the ideal partners in creating these innovative spots - no small task when dealing with an iconic brand long known for fresh and unforgettable advertising."
De Motu's 2D expertise is displayed primarily in Patty Cake, a hard-driving showcase of HP's TouchSmart PC. Standing before the interactive computer, a montage of users actively engages the dynamic new product, dashing their hands across the screen to access endless applications and communications possibilities. The De Motu team, led by Lauren Mayer-Beug and with on-set assistance from Shade, handled all post and FX, including a sizzling replication sequence that makes it appear multiple HP users are working in a row. Additional touches that display De Motu's ability to operate on a more conceptual level are the multiple manufactured images of people's reflections on HP screen shots, which symbolize the dynamic interaction between user and machine.
So thorough was De Motu's planning for the shoot that it inspired multiple creative choices for the director, agency, and client. "Our previs inspired Meyers to shoot the talent on individual turntables, which gave us several options for both creative and execution in post production," noted Mayer-Beug. "We also worked closely with the sound design team at Eleven and the edit crew at Final Cut to choreograph the user movements and the flurry of on-screen applications."
Dominoes shows off Shade's ability to create exciting virtual environments and action. With VFX Director Bryan Godwin at the lead, Shade's team, along with creative collaboration from De Motu created a sequence of thousands of uniquely colored laptops of various sizes, makes, and designs standing upright and falling like dominoes, sometimes collapsing onto a flat surface, at other times toppling over cliffs or spiraling down intricate, geometrically complex ramps and funnels. Shade coordinated the action with a voiceover extolling the advanced capabilities of HP's new dv6t laptop. Knowing the concept for Dominoes would be very challenging to achieve in camera, Godwin worked closely with Meyers and production designer Michael Gaw to pre-build dozens of laptops and accurately recreate sets based on Gaw's designs.
"By heavily pre-producing our assets, we were able to execute an almost entirely 3D virtual field of thousands of laptops in under 3 weeks," said Godwin. "Everyone was really easy to work with and we look forward to teaming up with both @radical.media and McCann in the future."
Santa Monica-based Red Magnet, Shade and De Motu work collaboratively in the space previously occupied by Method. The three share ideas and strategies, which maximizes their output and efficiencies while allowing for fierce competition.

Richard Wilde's World "The Wilde Ones"
Thirty-five years ago, Richard Wilde launched the BFA Advertising and Graphic Design Department at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Today, he still is still chair running the program with enthusiasm and unparalleled leadership, recruiting the top industry talent as instructors to maintain the college's reputation as one of the best of its kind. He is nothing less than a living icon in the world of graphic design and advertising. So when Director Benita Raphan (SVA alumna) approached SUSPECT CD Hoon Chong (also SVA alumunus), to handle the open for, "The Wilde Ones", a documentary tribute for Wilde's 40-year anniversary at the school, he readily accepted. Raphan quickly expanded the offer to include all post and effects for the film.
The film is built around a series of interviews with some of Wilde's most accomplished professors and industry icons, including George Lois, Paula Scher, Carin Goldberg, James Victore, Paul Sahre, and Gail Anderson, extolling the enthusiasm, professionalism, consistency and brilliance that helped Richard build the school into one of the world's preeminent graphic design and advertising institutions.
But these testimonials don't stand alone, SUSPECT created a stunning and surreal graphical montage that is laced throughout the film, old photographs, countless samples of student work, and other artifacts that lend the narrative context, scope, and a sense of history.
"I would not want to work with anyone else in the industry for my graphics - SUSPECT is top notch, and the owners are the most generous and gracious people imaginable" stated Raphan, who has worked with Chong on three other projects, including Great Genius and Profound Stupidity, (with Merce Cunningham currently airing on The Sundance Channel), and The Critical Path (also on The Sundance Channel). "Hoon has impeccable taste and a great graphic sense. His team embraced the project with passion and dedication, and I cannot wait to work with them on my next project."
SUSPECT also handled the open and close, which featured extensive and elaborate stop-motion scenes shot on a Canon 5D MARK II and constructed of found objects, handmade props, and tin toys (part of Richard Wilde's personal collection) in honor of Wilde's playful nature, collection of antique toys and love of Outsider Art. They also crafted the name title cards. The stage, props and technology were all on hand for stop motion, research and test shoots.
"It was an incredible honor that Benita came to us and asked us to do graphic art for a film tribute to an industry legend," stated Hoon. "Benita was very open and gave us tremendous freedom, so we were able to truly tap into the awesome creativity and imagination of our staff. We played the role of students and only created with things we could borrow or find, making objects with our hands and only using computers to put the pieces together."
"Working on this film allowed us a glimpse 'behind the scenes' into the world of the very accomplished and talented faculty at the School of Visual Arts," noted SUSPECT Executive Producer Rob Appelblatt. "It is educators such as Richard Wilde and his fine department that are helping to nurture, refine and grow talent that will in turn define and shape the future of our exciting business. With a portion of our staff being alums from SVA it was nice to see this come full circle. It was an honor to be included in this tribute to great educators."
"The Wilde Ones" was shown at the School of Visual Arts as part of "The Wilde Years: 4 Decades of Shaping Visual Culture", an exhibit celebrating Wilde's 40 year career that was on display at the college's West 26th Street gallery in Manhattan, and is tentatively scheduled to be reprised the Art Directors Club in NYC in 2010. The film premiered at the AIGA, selected by Chapter President Drew Hodges, (SVA alumnus). Wilde's exhibition included the work of 125 graduates of the department and included magazine and book covers, subway ads, spots, music videos, and many other artifacts. Raphan is pushing it to film festivals, industry award shows, design museums and TV networks.

2010 Lincoln MKS With Active Park Assist "Play" Commercial
Drive stars a smiling woman piloting her MKS through rolling, verdant terrain. A funky, upbeat track accompanies the action as the driver accelerates using the car's environmentally friendly yet powerful EcoBoost technology.
Go also promotes EcoBoost, as a determined man uses the system to accelerate from the gloom of a rainstorm to the sunshine of open countryside. The music perfectly complements the transition from dark to light, shifting from a slightly menacing beat to a lilting, whimsical tune by the final sun-soaked beach scene.
Play, shot almost entirely in the car's interior, stars a man in lighthearted awe of the MKS's Active Park Assist, which parallel parks the Lincoln without human assistance. A playful tune synchs joyously with the motions of the smiling driver, who appears to be dancing with the steering wheel as it backs the car into its space.
Stay features the voice-activated navigation system, and introduces a driver stalled in a traffic jam who calls out to the system, and, with new directions, heads off on the open road. A subdued, carefree beat evokes the ease of the new technology and the relaxed element that it introduces to the man's life.
"The challenge here was to make meaningful soundtracks for :15s; trying to capture the exact mood of each spot in a very short spot," noted Simon. "UniWorld was extremely cooperative in sharing fully at each phase of the creative process so we could really fine tune each score to the spot's message."

Swatch Seasons Spot by Crossroads
Seasons opens on what appears to be a shimmering golden meteor whistling toward the camera in slow motion through space and exploding in a cloud of dust and glitter that settles in extreme slow motion on a previously hidden woman, who appears as a stylishly dressed silhouette. The mesmerizing figure then flings a golden snowball into space, setting off a spectacular golden-glittery snowball fight between countless similar gold-silhouetted characters.
The glitter highlights modern snow jackets, amazing directional hairstyles, snow shades and footwear in this happening crowd. The spot closes with a golden snowball whistling toward the camera and exploding into a shower of sparks falling through the blackness to reveal the beautifully lit Perles D'Encre Swatch watch sparkling in the darkness, the fallout of the snowball shimmering around it.
The music, handled by Point Blank, London is a perfect complement to the mysterious snowballs hurdling through space and exploding. Magical twinkles over the exploding snowballs and the Swatch reveal add to the awe of the event and create a wondrous sense that something special and valuable is being revealed.
Post house Envy, worked closely with Harvey in the studio, monitoring the blacked out set and gold glitter snowballs.
"It was a very messy shoot in that glitter covered everyone and everything," stated Harvey. "While technically challenging from various angles, we were able to come up with a number of techniques that simplified and sped up the process."

New Honda Accord Crosstour "Instruments" Ad
The new Honda Accord Crosstour commercial. "Instruments" relies on atypical, pronounced polygonal animation and rhythmic music to showcase the all-new Honda Accord Crosstour, a modern alternative to the SUV/CUV category. Noteworthy music, a remix of "Fever," helps the spot reveal how lifestyles and experiences, as well as the stuff needed to facilitate these pursuits, fit completely into the Crosstour. "Instruments" and the forthcoming campaign spots began with a few pencil drawings and the directive to create a "look" that had never been seen before. This was accomplished by Andy Hall, Elastic and their team going the opposite direction of where computer animation is headed these days: instead of using super small polygons, these spots use large, pronounced polygons to create vibrant, memorable graphics. They're all about shape and shadow. Though larger polygons could imply retro technology, the lighting effects and movement in these spots are at a level of sophistication that could only be accomplished with today’s computer technology.

Walmart Thanks Our Troops with the Christmas Wish Commercial
Beautiful new ad by Walmart supporting our troops this holiday season, titled the Anthem Christmas Wish.
To recreate arid atmospheres, Douglas shot the spot over a two-day period on Mystery Mesa in Santa Clarita, Calif. A pair of Marine captains and a retired Navy SEAL supervised the shoot to ensure that everything from the look of the uniforms to the handling of weapons reflected military standards and norms. Even the snow was authentic - Anonymous brought in 45 tons of ice, which was shredded and shot skyward to create real powder. Anonymous also created the jovial Christmas scene populated by the boy and his mother.
Walmart created the spot to say thank you to U.S. troops for their brave service. The spot debuted during Game 6 of the World Series, an enormous television event that guaranteed a large audience. Over the next two months, the :30 will run in theaters, online, and during some of the most popular programs on TV, including The Today Show, Good Morning America, and Sunday Night Football. The :60 version will be broadcast on the American Forces Network and Walmart's in-store network.

Diet Dr Pepper's "Unbelievable" Contest Commercial
The characters shine in a hilarious new stop-motion spot for Diet Dr Pepper, part of the soft drink brand's Unbelievable campaign directed by Bent Image Lab's Ken Lidster in conjunction with Deutsch/LA.
"There's only one way to settle this!" the Tooth Fairy exclaims, pouring a glass of Diet Dr Pepper for Sasquatch. Just watch it to find out what Sasquatch thinks.
"It's been a lot of fun to develop these characters", Lidster said. "We have worked very closely with Deutsch/LA to develop these well known celebrities. So when creative director Chris Ribeiro gave us another great script, we felt that we really knew the cast's personalities, exactly what they would do. Animating the subtle expressions that make them so real came naturally. The characters really took on lives of their own."
Lidster brings a long history of stop-motion success to this project. Lipton Brisk's Dojo, a stop-motion battle pitting martial arts legend Bruce Lee against the Karate Kid, earned an animation category honor in the 2000 AICP Show and inclusion in the MoMA's film archives. Lidster also directed stop-motion campaigns for brands such as Chips Ahoy!, Kellogg's, Oscar Mayer and Quaker Oats. Bent Image Lab is renowned for retro-inspired visuals, including Office Max (Santa's Helper) with Eddie Steeples, an AFLAC spot featuring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, two Alltel holiday campaigns, and two Saturday Night live shorts for Robert Smigel.
"The support group is just a brilliant setting," Lidster said. "It allows us to find out what really makes some of the world's most beloved mythical characters tick. It's clear they've needed an outlet for their existential fears for some time, and we hope to keep the 'I Exist!' group going long enough to help them out."
Bent created duplicates of the sets and triples of the nine-inch-high characters to streamline production. They then shot the stop-motion on high-resolution digital cameras. Certain shots, such as the soda pour, were done on one of the studio's in-house Red cameras, using the Red Ultra Prime lenses.
"You can really see Ken's mastery of character development here with all the non-verbals going on," said Bent Partner/EP Ray Di Carlo. "The whole Bent team's attention to subtle detail helped make this animation so much fun. But it all starts with a great idea and a funny script to play off of. On this project the agency provided both. We're very happy to have such a creative working relationship with Deutsch."
