17; My Little Sony

For the last couple of days I've been playing with various toys and a friend's digital camera. This is the result:

If it's not obvious, it's a parody of a series of adverts. Everything is better in miniature:
Cadbury: Gorilla, Eyebrows, Airport Race.
French Connection: The Man
Skoda: Car Cake
Innocent Smoothies: Rabbit 
And the running theme: Sony Bravia: Bouncy Balls

I've chosen these ads purely because they are all very recognisable, memorable and parody-able, and made by Fallon. As I mentioned the other day, I went to a talk by a couple of guys from fallon the other day, and that's when I thought of making this video. It was mostly an easy way of helping to choose which ads to reference, and it really does show how high profile, entertaining & varied one agency's work can be.

Probably more on this tomorrow, and I'll hopefully add a higher quality version at some point (although it was all taken on a fairly ordinary digital still camera, so the quality will never be great).

Also, thankyou Rachel for baking, giving me the camera and collecting up the balls.

I like it when the council are considerate, and make special signs for areas that I like to park in, so that everyone knows that it's ok for me to not have a permit. Everyone else, if you park, leave and try to come back within 2 hours without a permit, I will tell on you.

Two things today.
I went to a talk from a couple guys from fallon the other day. It was great. I was nosing around their website today and found this french connection ad:

I'm putting it here because I think it's great. Filmed brilliantly, entertaining, and gets across a clear message about the brand. Big fan.

These photos are just quite cool:
