Bioware – Mass Effect Andromeda E3 trailer – (2015) 2:00 (USA)

This was created as an opener for EA’s presentation at E3 – which is a bit like Cannes but for games a.k.a Really Big Deal™. It’s both a teaser and a hype-starter, giving small glimpse of what is to come in the new Mass Effect Andromeda but without revealing too much just yet. Juxtaposing good ol’ Johnny Cash “Ghost Riders in the Sky” with images of different landscapes – one being your stereotypical Arizona style desert complete with tall desert rocks – it can for the briefest of moments lull you into thinking this is about some western game. But then another landscape shows flying amoebas, and yet another looks like a volcano with lava pimples, so our hero Commander Shepard loads their gun and struts off into the desert like a lonesome cowboy. So far, the jarring mismatch between music and visuals has been a treat, intended to sucker people at E3 in and wonder what this is all about – but now we switch over to the usual game shows off its stuff, its enemies, its new moves and weapons in a crescendo edit set to game sounds and extra loud explosions. Both creatively familiar and badass at the same time. Pleasing the core, and piquing the interest of scrubs.

Google My Business – Proud Community / City Gym in Kansas City (2015)

Google has some very helpful tools for small businesses and local haunts to take advantage of when they want to be seen in their community. In showing how this works in practice, Google tells the story of a young man – a young trans man – and the local gym where people can be themselves. Just in time for pride month. (Everyone gets a month in America except mom & dad they just get a day each – hehe )

Now, you can hardly escape the transgender topic in news & popular culture these days, it’s not 2008 anymore, clearly. So it’s really no surprise that Google chose to open the story here with clips from Jacob’s transition. For 1 minute and 22 seconds, you might even think this is an ad about gender transitioning. Then we switch over to Hailee Bland Walsh who owns the City Gym, and she talks about her business;

“City Gym was born of the belief that a gym should be more than place to workout, it should be a place to belong. It was never an intention to create a space specifically for any group, but what a testament it is to create a space where any group feels comfortable.”

Now, with a topic so currently hot, emotional and often controversial, the real shocker here is that they managed to create a commercial so pedestrian. It’s as bland as the Scottish village of Dull is quaint. It’s boring. And despite all the google products features flashing by, all familiar for any of us who use our smart phones, it doesn’t really do all that much for Google – but collect high-fives & goodwill for being allies, I suppose.
