Issa Law "Mrs Roberts" - (2012)
And now part three of this campaign for Issa Law, in which our guy learns the hard way representing yourself is not a good idea. Can anyone say "painfully awkward?"
Issa Law "Gam Gam" - (2012)
Issa Law continues the wacky in this film, where we see a hapless schmuck who shoulda had a lawyer, try to represent himself, and bolster his chances with the testimonial from his "gam gam."
Nice touch with the "commie vodka."

Berlusconi, Beatles, Obama, God, Michael Jackson, LOST and Picasso - there's cliff notes for everything in the book Life In 5 seconds.

Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA) - Connecting / Paper - (2012) :30 (Canada)
Directed by The Embassy's Ozan Biron , this stop-motion and paper craft inspired computer animation spot aims to engage and educate viewers about the CEPA and drive traffic to AboutPipelines.com. It reminds me a tad of the NZ Book Council - Going West back in 09.
To add character and the look of real paper to the spot, the team at The Embassy deliberately added the imperfections that real folded paper would have - intentionally making the edges not line up, adding bits of tape, creating offsetting folds and warped edges of paper curling up.

Rio Creative Magazine - Little Thing - (2012) :30 (Brazil)
It's the little things really it is. In a scene we find a little too familiar, the bossman looks at the work and nods approvingly ... before clicking his pen to fix one little thing, and the sound of that pen is more like a bullet snapping through the air or a guillotin released. Like I said, we know the feeling too well.....

Every Fall brings a new cycle of institutional spots, showcasing schools outside the football field. But every cycle often brings the same format: highlights of alumni and lists of awards and achievements.

Mister Imagine's Toy Store allows imaginations to run wild by selling only plain cardboard boxes.
Welcome to Mister Imagine's Toy Store, where you'll find a giant castle, a music area, birdhouses, weather clouds, hot air balloons, and much more – all made out of cardboard. Oh, and that cardboard, those plain boxes - all for sale of course. The staff hosts workshops on how to create masterpieces out of ordinary cardboard. There's an augmented reality station in the store, where kids can hold up their bland boxes to the computer screen, and it will turn that box into a toy in the kids hands just to jump-start their imaginations. It's a car! It's a fort! It's a plane! It's Schrödinger's cat! Because we all remember how babies played with the box the expensive toy we bought came in, instead of with the toy.
