Hasta La Creative!

Après leur vidéo Holi Slow Motion, Jonathan Bregel du studio Variable, a réalisé cette nouvelle vidéo intitulée « Natural Life ». Toujours en technique slow-motion, Variable s’intéresse ici à une mère qui raconte comment l’avenir de son fils a été totalement anéanti dès l’enfance à cause une injustice. A découvrir dans la suite.

Stealing cardboard cutouts of the David Hasselhoff from Cumberland Farms is all fun and games until someone gets seriously hurt.

It began innocuously enough last summer, when some 550 cutouts of the Hoff were stolen from the convenience store's locations in New England and Florida. At the time, a brand strategist for the chain brushed off the thefts, saying the company didn't encourage it but was nonetheless "flattered by the attention." The chain will be less flattered by an incident on Tuesday, however, in which a Cumberland Farms clerk in Shelton, Conn., was critically injured trying to prevent the theft of a Hoff cutout from the latest campaign.

According to a statement from the local police: "The initial investigation revealed that a black SUV pulled into the lot of Cumberland Farms. The victim later observed a white male get out of the vehicle and cut two 'David Hasseloff' [sic] advertisement signs off of a light pole. The male then put the signs in the back of the vehicle. The victim approached the vehicle in an attempt to get the signs back. The vehicle then sped away and the victim was dragged and then he spun around and flipped backwards landing on his head."

The victim, who has not been identified, is listed in critical condition at an area hospital. Meanwhile, a 19-year-old who is suspected to have been the driver has come forward and is cooperating with police.

Better call Saul? Actually, try Harry Kassabian first. The proprietor of People's Bail Bonds in Van Nuys, Calif., co-stars with some real-life criminals in this great commercial produced by local-ad heroes Rhett & Link. The cue-ball-headed Kassabian makes liberal use of air quotes in describing his clients' supposed innocence—but really, it's all the same to him. "The customer is always right, even if the customer is you and you've done something illegal," he says in one of the ad's better lines. Kassabian's personal tagline? He's "the guy that gets you out." "We decided there was a group out there that really needed their own commercial: criminals," Rhett & Link tell AdFreak. True enough. Rhett & Link also made their traditional cameo—look for them in the final seconds of the spot. Credits below.

O que você faria caso se deparasse com um assassinato em curso? Chamaria a polícia? Interviria? Sairia correndo? Uma nova pegadinha tenta responder essa questão, mostrando a reação de diversas pessoas quando encontram um homem estrangulando outro dentro de um elevador.

A ação faz parte da campanha do filme “Dead Man Down”, primeiro longa hollywoodiano do diretor dinamarquês Niels Arden Oplev, que dirigiu a versão original sueca de “O Homem Que Não Amavam as Mulheres”.

O filme, que estreia nos EUA em 8 de março, conta a história de uma mulher que se infiltra no crime em busca de vingança. Dessa forma, você já pode imaginar o sentimento que o experimento do elevador deseja despertar.
