A Whole Lotta Advertisements

There are very few advertisements I can enjoy, but there are a couple that do stand out to me as original and creative, or simply ones I don't mind listening to or watching. True, there are TONS of advertisements I see and hear on the daily, but most of them are easily marketed without any effort so often they won't stand out at all. Television ads for example are now getting very creative; using many different fast paced shots, angles, and pictorial titles with flashy pictures to market something quickly. I enjoy any well made commercial that ventures outside of the box to entertain me or keep me guessing as to what they are actually advertising!

This video is of two ads in the British Television Ad Awards I went to see last year at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. There was a whole lotta advertisements that were just plain silly but some stood out as very well made and kept my full attention while I watched.

This six minute long advertisement won third place in the advertising awards for its perfection because it was all filmed in one take and tells a story about a whiskey company, (that isn't too interesting) but I enjoyed watching it because I wondered how many takes it must of taken them to finally get everything right.
