100 years of fashion in 100 seconds

Here's a video to celebrate the grand opening of the Westfield Stratford City shopping center in East London:

The video showcases a couple dancing and as the video progresses their costumes change as well as the style of dance to reflect fashion styling of the time period.  We used to dress so classy back in the day... 

The smallest billboard around

Here is a billboard to promote the UK documentary show Seven Dwarves:

These mini-billboards were scaled to real-sized hoardings, as the Brits would say, and came with lighting that actually worked.

Who says there isn't chivalry in beer ads

Here is a commercial from London for Stella Artois:

A gentleman seated at a cafe sees a stunning woman and goes after her.  Being the fine gentleman he is, he places his coat over a puddle as she walks across the street.  Well, a storm must have recently passed through since there are many puddles on the street.  He begins to strip off his other garments so she can have something to step on over these other puddles.  As she hops over other puddles, he continues to tear off his clothes for her, and finally he asks, "Can't we just talk?"  "But we are in a commercial," she quips.  It's a cute, risky response, but works for this commercial and the look and feel is very nice. 

Hit on chicks with a ukulele

This bloke serenades a girl with an impromptu ukulele song and sparks what may be a budding relationship.

LivingSocial taxi

Here is a great stunt in London for LivingSocial:

Unsuspecting passengers would board the LivingSocial taxi and discover they had the choice of either continuing to their destination or a LivingSocial Experience.  The daring ones who didn't have a train to catch or were in a rush took a roll of the dice for some interesting excursions including a pole dancing fitness class and a fish pedicure. 

The happiest box of all

Here's a commercial from the UK for McDonald's:

Larger-than-life McDonald's happy meal boxes were set up in several locations.  From shooting jets of water to mechanical robo-happy meals, each replica of the McDonald's kid's meal had a fun little surprise. 

Allow Google Voice to pronouce that for you

The OOH campaign for the Google Voice mobile search app in the UK includes billboards with pronunciations of London Underground tube stops as well as things people search for on their mobile while out and about:

Taxi Numbers (tak-see num-buhz)

Travel Updates (trah-vuhl up-deyts)

Ticket Reservations (ti-kit reh-zer-vey-shunz)

 Latest Scores (ley-tist skohrz)

Restaurant reviews (res-tront ree-vyooz)

 FTSE 100 (foot-see wun-hun-dred)

 

 Exchange Rates (eks-cheynj reyts)

Cinema Times (si-neh-mar tymz)

Some Google adverts along the Tube included:

Leicester Square (les-tuh skwair)

Marylebone (mar-lee-boan)

Oxford Circus (oks-fuhd sur-khus)

Piccadilly Circus (pih-ka di-lee sur-khus)

 Covent Garden (koh-vunt gar-duhn)

The billboards get your attention because of its minimalistic design and the fact it's just a bunch of gobbledygook thrown on a wall.  The tag "say it to get it," instructs the viewer to say it out loud, and it does take a few seconds to figure out the ad.  But it doesn't take too long where the viewer starts to lose interest.  Figuring out what the ad says is an interactive game in a sense.

Wimbeledon balls

In homage to Bravia's bouncy balls, a Wimbledon spot was created.  But instead of colorful superballs pelting the streets of San Fransisco, this UK commercial for the Wimbledon Finals has a bunch of tennis balls and was filmed in 3D for Sony:

The broadcast on BBC HD included a "tennis ball hunt" contest where "virtual tennis balls" were released all over the internets.  Each virtual ball "caught" was an sweepstakes entry for a chance to win VIP tickets to the Wimbledon Women's Final.

If you've watched the Making of Bouncy Balls, it's a pretty spectacular feat, involving 170,000 superballs.  When the bouncy balls are shot out of the cannon, the sound of the balls hitting the street is deafening, setting off car alarms, leaving crew ducking for cover as they try to get the shot. 

Remember?

Even though there's 3D element in the new Wimbledon spot, it doesn't seem to capture the same essence as the original bouncy balls.
