Plexus Productions Opener

An amazing animation done by Tim Borgmann for a German company called Plexus Productions. This work is very visually appealing and starts off with an ordinary cube floating around, and then it slowly starts to evolve into something magnificent. The accompanying musical score is full of epicness and works very well with the video.

Google - Introducing the Chromebook

An advertisement video for the new Chromebook by Google appeared just recently. It was made by Devon Hong and follows the usual simplistic scheme that Google has developed over their course of existence. This new laptop or shall I say "computer-like object" will be literally cloud-based, e.i. only make the use of Internet-based applications and storage devices. Pretty neat idea, but then again there will be a strong opposition to it as well. Here is the description of the video from its creator:

"To launch Google Chromebook, we came up with this video to be stream live at the Google I/O conference. The brilliant talents at Buck brought it to life. Not to mention Antfood's incredible track. We're all so pleased with the outcome."

Hyundai Accent 3D projection advertisement

This is an amazing new concept taken in the advertisement industry. 3D projections have been around for a while now, but this commercial uses outstanding animation blended with futuristic concept of public ads showcased outside on a side of a building. Enjoy!

Bring the billboard to Life

A smart ad campaign to interest people in pursuing a career in public health. The interactive component of this billboard is that the viewer gets to "save a life" of a patient with a touch of hands (i.e. CPR). Just imagine walking into a bus shelter to wait for your daily commute and suddenly you hear series of long rapid beeps (that are usually indicative of a cardiac arrest), you turn around and press your hands against the wall as directed and in turn "save a patient's life". I'd consider that to be a pretty nice start of the day - saving someone's life at a bus-stop :D  Enjoy the video demonstration below.

Interactive display window.

Here is something new from the advertisement world - an interactive video montage in a store display window. The video reacts according to the movement of the by-passers; it is basically a virtual "street-wear" model.

And no, this is not an April fools joke, welcome to the 21st century folks.

Petite Lap Giraffes

Here is a very interesting advertisement for Direct TV. Set in a mansion of some Russian oligarch who has everything - from beautiful women to stacks of golden bars, but then you can notice he also has a small giraffe as a pet! How cool is that. I think the inclusion of this miniature giraffe is a very smart advertisement strategy. Firstly, because it is fascinating to see something so real  and intricate as a giraffe and at the same time so small that you can hold it in the palm of your hand. Secondly, it achieves a "viral" status of videos and will be viewed by many people that don't even watch TV. Now I want one of those giraffes myself.
