Digital Rights

Earlier, I wrote about the Virgin Atlantic Red Hot ad, mentioning that it was annoying that there was no embed available for the video. Alison from Virgin came back with this comment

we didn’t have full usage rights for the advert to enable the file to be embedded but this is now resolved.

In this day [...]

Cadbury’s Eyebrows

The new Cadbury’s ad, from Fallon, is over at the Guardian Media section (can’t find an embed yet).

It’s a whole lot of fun, the rabid eyebrows contrasting to kid’s stoic faces. So how was this done?

the kid’s are chosen because they have ninja-style eyebrow manipulation skills.
it was all done in post-production
there’s a bunch of eyebrow [...]

Veet says Goodbye to Bush

This was sent round the office this morning, from The Telegraph. It’s an add from Veet, a hair removal creme. Love it! Although it’s a pity they could not change the site for the day to reflect it.

Top Gear has launched an online viral campaign to promote the recently relaunched TopGear.com.

My favourite product video this week is not really a product video but it so easily could be – it’s also the only product video on the list, if I ignore the Fail Blog ones.. From the satirical site The Onion, here’s a video about the Apple Wheel

ASA to rule on God’s Existance

This week, a series of bus adverts launched across the UK, as part of the Atheist Bus Campaign

The Atheist Bus Campaign began when comedy writer Ariane Sherine wrote a Comment is Free article in June 2008 about the Christian adverts running on London buses. These ads featured the URL of a website which said non-Christians [...]

Virgin Red Hot again

As the Virgin Still Red Hot ad gets played more and makes its way round the blogs, it’s fun to see the different reactions.

Chris had a similar reaction to me, bemoaning the fact Virgin Atlantic forgot to put in a good way for the video to be shared over and above the YouTube copies. [...]
