Michael Phelps May Incur Wrath of IOC Over Louis Vuitton Ads

michael_phelps_louis_vuitton.jpeg

While no official word has handed down by the International Olympic Committee regarding Michael Phelps’ appearance in leaked photos of a Louis Vuitton ad inside the Rule 40 window barring appearance in non-Olympic sponsor ads between July 17 and August 15, the media has its panties in a bunch over the kerfuffle.

The ads, shot by Annie Liebowitz, feature Phelps in a bathtub wearing a Speedo and swim goggles and on a couch sitting next to Russian Olympian Larissa Latynina whose medal winning record Phelps just broke.

At issue is whether or not Phelps broke Rule 40 which “limits athletes competing in the Olympic Games from appearing in advertising during and shortly before the Games.” If the IOC feels an Olympian has crossed the rule, they can be issued “…wide ranging sanctions…” Though unlikely, some have said these sanctions could include being stripped of medals.

Many, including track Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross, claim the rule forces “hard working Olympians to leave the games with no financial support while $6 billion is earned around the games.”

Jack Bauer faz cupcakes enquanto não está salvando o mundo

Além de salvar o presidente, a América e o mundo, Jack Bauer ainda tem tempo para desenvolver a sua paixão: Cupcakes.

Sem economizar referências a “24 Horas”, esse comercial da Acer mostra Kiefer Sutherland indo ao extremo para assar seus bolinhos, encontrar os melhores ingredientes e ainda criar um logo para a sua confeitaria.

A criação é da Mother London.

Vale lembrar que Kiefer deve estar sem job na televisão ou cinema nesse meio de ano, já que está passando bastante tempo com a publicidade. Olha ele e a Susan Glenn.

James Franco is a Master Multitasker Thanks to Samsung Galaxy Note

james_franco_samsung_galaxy_note.jpg

James Franco has stuffed everything imaginable into this Samsung Galaxy Note 1.1 commercial epic in which he lauds himself for acting in, directing, producing and writing movies as well as writing a book of short stories, acting in a soap opera, directing a dance company and directing this commercial.

As he wanders through his self-created epic he engages in all sorts of Note-aided tasks including diagnosing strep throat, solving complex math problems and engaging in a pillow fight with a trio of youthful hotties. Though how the Note helps with that last task eludes us.

The 2:45 video, which hypes the Note’s ability to aid with multitasking, even includes a Ferris Bueller-like send off at the end.


A arte dos efeitos visuais em Hollywood, segundo Rob Legato

Muitas vezes os efeitos especiais são tão bons, que eles triunfam sobre a realidade. É o que diz Rob Legato nessa apresentação no TED em junho passado.

Legato é supervisor de efeitos visuais em diversos blockbusters de Hollywood, como “Harry Potter”, “Armageddon”, “O Náufrago”, entre muitos outros. No vídeo acima ele fala particularmente de três deles: “Apollo 13″, “Titanic” e “Hugo”, explicando o processo criativo por trás de inúmeros efeitos.

Misturando analógico com digital, e objetos triviais com miniaturas, Legato mostra, por exemplo, a reconstrução do Titanic para o filme de James Cameron. Em “Hugo”, com Martin Scorsese, o que parece um longo e intricado plano sequência é na verdade uma construção de três diferentes cenários e dois atores.

Atualmente, o supervisor de efeitos visuais está trabalhando novamente com Scorsese, em “Wolf of Wall Street”.

Budweiser Helps Ecuadorians Extend Happy Hour

budweiser_happy_hour_always_ends.jpg

So here’s a campaign that would never air in America. Why? Because we don’t condone binge drinking and beat-the-clock style happy hour boozefests. But in Ecuador? No problem whatsoever.

Y&R Ecuador developed a campaign called Budclock that resulted in the extension of happy hour by one minute for each Budweiser purchased (using QR codes, of course). In theory, happy hour might never end.

Since its inception on May 12, happy hours have been extended by 6,000 minutes


The Sun: Um plano sequência dentro de um jornal

O The Sun apresenta sua nova campanha, “Get Involved”, como um passeio real dentro de um jornal, com referências a diversos tipos de notícias e seções.

É quase um plano sequência, já que você vai perceber um corte ou outro em alguns momentos, mas ainda assim o efeito se justifica.

Ah, eu não costumo reclamar por legendas – melhor estudar o idioma – mas esse inglês britânico me fez assistir umas quatro vezes.

A criação é da Grey.

Oregon Teaches Kids How to ‘Brushy’

teach_me_how_to_brushy.jpg

Oh No. Oregon doesn’t just create crappy PSAs to get kids to brush their teeth. No, no, no. They go out and remix Cali Swag District’s Teach Me How to Dougie into Teach Me How to Brushy, a kid-infused rap ballad that humorously urges kids to brush their teeth.

Created by Grady Britton for the Oregon Dental Association, the video get all raptastic and throws it down big time complete with tricycle-riding kids and giant toothbrushes


Paris Agency Creates Japanese-Like Commercial

domyos.jpg

If we didn’t know this wasn’t a Japanese commercial, we’d certainly think it was, in fact, a Japanese commercial. It’s got all the telltale signs. Cutesy cheesiness. Dancing. A silly song.

OK so it’s only a little like a Japanese commercial and it is kinda fun. After all, how can you fault a bunch of well choreographed kids dancing on a rooftop to pimp a fashion brand?

Paris-based Fred & Farid created the ad for Domyos My GYM’Y brand tracksuits. Benjamin Millepied choreographed.

It’s Raining Skullcandy!

skullcandy_magnolia.jpg

Well this is kind of cool and stupid all at the same time. As the sky darkens and ominous sounds are heard, four members of the Skullcandy Skate Team, Eric Koston, Sean Malto, Theotis Beasley and Steve Berra, experience fear as a Magnolia-inspired storm brews. And what’s falling from the sky? Skullcandy headphones, of course. But one really must wonder. If headphones fell from the sky, Wouldn’t they dent/break on impact? Hey, this is just advertising, not science, so why worry about mundane details such as this?


James Franco atua e dirige novo comercial do GALAXY Note 10.1 da Samsung

James Franco frita ovo, faz teatro, atua em filmes, arranca o braço fora, resolve equações matemáticas, cura as menininhas, tenta matar o Homem-Aranha, cria lembretes de aniversário e dirige esse comercial para a Samsung, promovendo o GALAXY Note 10.1 como o tablet do cara multi-tarefas.

O cara tem carisma e a produção boas intenções, mas a Samsung não perde a mania de ser extremamente expositiva em suas campanhas recentes. Parece quase uma leitura engessada do roteiro – que é até divertido – com longa e forçada demonstração de features do produto.

Fora isso, também queremos torradeiras que façam o pão pular tão alto. Onde vende?

A criação é da Cheil USA.

Headcam Records Day in the Life of Agency Developer

marcus_thomas_headcam.jpg

OK so how does Cleveland’s Marcus Thomas recruit for a developer? They strap a head cam on one of their developers, Nick Zwinggi, and have him record a day in the life of a developer at the agency. It’s geeky for sure. Then again, the agency is seeking a geek to join them and code all kinds of interesting things into online sites and apps we can all enjoy.


Penelope and Monica Cruz Play Super Mario Bros. 2

penelope_cruz_super_mario.png

Hot off her sexy Agent Provocateur gig, Monica Cruz is joined by her big sister Penelope in a new Nintendo Super Mario Bros. 2 ad. The sisters, lounging poolside, take each other on in battle and agree the loser will have to dress up as Mario and visit the grocery store. That fate befalls Penelope as her sister watches and laughs.


ESPN: Interpretando as gírias do futebol de forma literal

Essa é uma ideia que merecia muito bem uma versão brasileira. A ESPN interpreta de forma literal diversas gírias do futebol, aqui em inglês, como: hat trick, hit the woodwork, fox in the box, giant killer, etc.

Em português poderíamos ter algo com chapéu, drible da vaca, tiro de canto, pedalada, banheira, frango, gol de peixinho, mão de alface, e afins.

Só não tem termo ainda pra impedimento triplo. Essa é nova.

A criação é da Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam.
