So wonderfully bad that I'm more than a little bit jealous!
Agency: JWT New York

This ad was partly shot in Utah and aired worldwide but came out of a London agency.

Feist is quite the pyrotechnic in this explosive video. She teamed up with the VFX team from Smoke & Mirrors New York to bring us this stunningly calculated music video. As the music starts, we find the soloist alone in a field of barrels. She runs in and around the casks as they rhythmically explode with a visual cacophony of fireworks. Feist is accompanied beautifully with a dazzling illuminated display throughout the video that culminates in a grand finale of both sound and light.

Smoke & Mirrors New York teamed up with Patrick Daughters and Feist most recently on the Grammy nominated song "1 2 3 4" (which Feist has redone for the Sesame street and is just so adorable).

From director Joseph Kosinski of Anonymous Content, T.A.G. SF, and Venice-based Digital Domain comes Rendezvous, the new trailer for the Xbox 360 blockbuster game, Gears of War 2. Looks like XBox is aiming for a second shot at the Grand Prix's of all ad award shows. ;)

The narration is an adapted version of the famous poem of the same name by Alan Seeger (1888-1916), a Harvard educated American who joined the French Foreign Legion in 1914 and fought for the Allies during WWI. He was killed in action by machine-gun fire while heroically cheering on his fellow soldiers in the successful assault of Belloy-en-Santerre during the Battle of the Somme.

The Delta Squad are back. Open on soldier Marcus Felix dragging the body of an enemy Locust - a reference to the opening scene of the French movie "Nikita" perhaps? Fellow soldier and best friend Dominic Santiago lays on the floor struggling for survival. Marcus hands Dominic his weapon and continues on his quest for a "Rendezvous with death".

McCann-Erickson, Madrid has done quite the homage to the baby boom generation, remaking the eighties sound and style to exclaim "CHAVAL" (young man? Lad?) in a generation X Coke anthem. The finale is pure gold.
