Crisis of Credit is a video explaining the credit crunch. Love the illustration style but it’s a shame that the voice over is a bit so-so.

zZz is playing: Grip, is a one take music video shot (live) from above. The concept is for the trampoline gymnasts to simulate video effects (using type of course!). I was going to hold this back for the next crumbs post but couldn’t resist! I love it!

I make a conscious effort to be as green as possible – though Jobs still has me caught in the headlights when it comes to apple products! It’s a good effort at communicating the message to a younger audience and(or) taking a new slant on the message, putting the fun back into facts.

Sony have done it again! Another advert to make your tongue roll and what a beautiful ending! Their creative teams never cease to amaze me.

Another great viral vid from the same guys that bought you the ‘Mentos Experiments’… Now with excellent production and editing!

This vid was going to put on my smile on my face anyway but it’s always good to think that from small projects like the original Mentos video these guys have managed to get an ad with Office World and produce another cracker.

If there is one thing youtube is good for, it’s press for the little guys. Congrats to Eepy Bird!

Just found this new ad from Brylcreem called effortless and it’s brilliant. After doing some research I found they have also released a great mockumentry to go with. Excellent branding effort.

As i’m sure many of you know – but few of you care haha – the new football season is upon us! Found this a while ago and finally found an appropriate time to share.

You may rather watch this… thanks @555

A stunning combination of cinematography, music & sport. This is truly a fantastic video, 120fps, High Definition Skateboarding… Simply Stunning!

14 months in the making, 42 countries, and a cast of thousands.
Where the hell is Matt? is truly a beautiful viral.

I’m going to keep the history of this viral really short, you can read the full version on Matts website, it is written well and explained with character. But a short synopsis is that “Matt took a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal…” He then invited all the people that had e-mailed him about his video to come and dance with him as he travelled around the world again…

I guess it depends totally on how you interpret the message of this viral and maybe i’m going over the top, but I think it really exemplifies the good nature in people and though it’s something silly, if it can bring strangers together, I think its fantastic! (intentional or not)

An inspirational viral video that makes the real cost of war more tangible… “War has no return — you’re not producing a product.”

This is an excellent viral video about the true cost of war. Nicely put together, clean typography, illustrations, not overly keen on the audio but 2/3 aint bad. I think it’s important whatever the subject, especially war to make the real costs, human & financial apparent. Some of the facts here are astounding! I felt the quote that accompanied the youtube video summed up beautifully…

“I think people are becoming more aware of these guns or butter questions,” said Gary Gillespie, “But when you talk about $720 million a day, even people who work on this issue are shocked by the number and shocked by what could have been done with that money. War has no return — you’re not producing a product.”
