things well done | coke spot ::

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

:: Coca Cola created this short advert (if you can call it that) as part of it’s ongoing Open Happiness campaign, showing how Coca Cola can connect people and bring happiness. W+K Amsterdam is behind it. H/T Jenn.

It’s superb.

Notice that while there is no Coca Cola logo / branding in the content itself (only in the closing title card), you know it’s Coca Cola right away (the shape of the bottle and glass, the color of the bottle cap, etc.). Beyond the branding though, the content delivers on the most important thing of all – is just plain compelling and entertaining. Bravo, well done.  // AjS

things well done | post-it stop motion ::

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

:: this is just so amazingly good. See below for a short film titled Deadline. Deadline was directed / edited by Bang-yao Liu, a Taiwanese student at Savannah College of Art and Design, and shot by Jay Tseng. The film was Liu’s senior project, and it creatively tells the story of everyone’s fight against deadlines and keeping up with post-it / to-do notes. The interaction between the actor and the pixel-like post-it notes is flawless. Production on the film took three months of planning, four days of shooting, and over 6000 post-it notes. This video was just a week and a half ago and now has nearly one million views. is equally as interesting. Bravo, well done. // AjS
