YouTube - When Monkey Met Al

You know where this ad is going almost from the start, and while it is undeniably charming, what makes it really interesting is the way it shows how Mother has managed to protect and exploit its Intellectual Property.

You can read Monkey's entertaining disquisition on the subject here

The Door

via youtube.com

Rather wonderful little film from Italy that isn't trying to sell you anything.

Apart perhaps from the talents of its makers.

Great sound design too.

Thanks @Rubber_Republic

Balkan Hip Hop may not be your bag, daddy-o, but I like this promo.

It was made possible by the generosity of Prelinger Archive, which hosts more than 60,000 "ephemeral" (advertising, educational, industrial, and amateur) films and makes them available through a Creative Commons license.

Adland - Circle Creative

via youtube.com

This call for entries to the Creative Review Annual is a brilliant roll call of the best in British Advertising; hugely charming and stuffed full of visual gags, it repays more than one viewing.

Broadway Films

I'm delighted to announce that I'm working with Toby Courlander and his new production company, Broadway Films.

Toby's a great producer. He launched Michel Gondry's career when he was at Partizan with spots like Drugstore

Then he went on to Outsider Films, where for seven years he worked with Robert Campbell to make it one of Europe's most respected production companies.

Now he's out on his own; finding the most exciting directors from around the world and making them available to agencies and clients in the UK and Europe.

I'll be representing Broadway Films in Scotland. If you'd like to see the reel, please drop me a line.
