Colour

The Sony Bravia campaign certainly isn't a secret (you know your commercials are a big deal when they each have their own 'Making Of' featurettes). If you haven't seen them I would encourage you to take the time and watch the high-rez versions on their website. They are beautiful.

The bouncy ball spot fills me with such a wonderful wave of melancholic nostalgia that I am nearly moved to tears every time I watch it. 

And believe me, the next time I'm in Best Buy trying to decide what TV to drop 5 grand on, you better believe it's going to be on the one that made me cry.

HeadOn

I'm assuming everyone has seen the original HeadOn ad. I thought this was noteworthy because it's not everyday you see a company spoof its OWN commercials.



On a side note, I saw a spoof of THIS spoof on SNL (which I can't find a clip for).

Liberty Mutual

I find this ad to be incredibly touching. I've noticed that practically all big insurance companies are positioning themselves as friendly, genuine, and helpful.. to varying degrees of success ("Are you in good hands?" is getting a little old), but I think this one works great.


By the way, that guy in the first clip would definitely be dead if she didn't stop him - that truck is flying.

Look familiar?

This ad is pretty good, but a total rip-off (I think) of "The Wind" ad (see my first post)- and not nearly as beautifully done.
