Samsung Omnia II Urban Olympic Games Ad

Urban Olympic Games stars a hip young city dweller rambling about town, Omnia II in hand, gazing at Olympic Internet coverage. So clear and engaging is the content that his urban environment merges with the onscreen arenas of athletic heroics, transforming an escalator into a steep ski slope, a commuter train into a bobsled track, and a building lobby into an ice rink complete with figure skater. Simon's composition perfectly complements the action with a piano-heavy riff that ticks up and down as the onscreen action lessens or intensifies. The sound design is pitch perfect as well, with rocketing noises accompanying the acceleration of the skis and bobsled down the slope.
