3 years ago

by kiedis in Advertising, Things to watch

As many of you know, this sunday its Super Bowl in US and as each year brands will pay lots and lots of money for the ads. Exactly $100.000 dollars for one second, thats something like 3 million for a 30 second spot. The price has been raising over the years just keep in mind in 1967 a 30 second ad would cost $40,000 dollars.
You can check all numbers here
This year we will have companies like: Anheuser-Busch, Bridgestone, CareerBuilder and more :)

Audi is already doing some teasing for this spot so here it is:

I will post the other spots very soon don’t worry :)

Laura showed me this video today and i was pretty impressed.
Patrick Hughes was the director for this short film for the schweppes film festival. I am showing this one because its one of my favorites out of the selected films, and the other films may not be good for kids even if they are great also. You can check them all here. Dont forget to check the bar on the website for some great recipes ;)

The countdown is over at their official website, and a new video has been released where you can see also the gameplay and not only the animations. I dont know when this game is comming out unfortunately, some people say it’s been delayed to 2010 some other people say it will come out this year. One thing is sure, it is one of the most expected games at the moment and their graphics are just awesome.
I just hope this game will not be like Final Fantasy X-2, that would be really bad.

Oren Lavie released his album in february 2007 and he sold only 20 copies in under 6 months.
One day he realized his song “Her morning elegance” was being used for an Chevrolet US tv spot and he became very happy.

~~(i dont really like this spot but the song is cool)~~

So after that, Oren decided to make a video for the song and he directed it along with Yuval y Merav Nathan. Its all done in stop motion and its awesome, a lot better than the Chevrolet Ad :D
