phanatic Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 This one is being shown in Europe and not the U.S. (2 minute length). The commercial does not utilize computer imigary or special effects. It took the creators months of planing and over 700 takes to get the end result. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Yeah, my father pointed me to that one. It's truly a marvel of design and persistence. The production crew was pulling their hair out because little things kept going wrong as you can imagine! I haven't done it yet, but count the number of little "gags" that have to go just right - consecutively! - for that shoot to work. Truly phenomenal!

redman Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Code, no that was legit, although it utilized an optical illusion re the "uphill" part of that image. That was an uncut "actual" take of what happened in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Most creative: A commercial I saw for a motor scooter. (Targeted on young, urban, customers. Emphasis on easy parking, maneuverability, low cost of operation.) Driver comes out of video rental store, lifts seat, tosses three VHS tapes under seat. Announcer: "It has enough trunk space for Frankenstein, King Kong, and Godzilla." A fake ad I understand National Lampoon yanked for liability reasons. (I've never seen it.) A Teddy Kennedy look-alike advertising the Volkswagen Beatle. Tom Landry's American Express commercial. (Can redskins.com get a downloadable form of that one?) The guy in the "upside-down" clown suit, shown during the Super Bowl. (And never again, as far as I can tell). Whichever car it was (this one doesn't count as "effective", because I can't remember the product) that used the huge Hot Wheels track. "Track sold seperatly".
