This Volkswagen spot, for the “Eos” (available in Europe), is notable for being the first VW spot I’ve liked in a while that isn’t from CP+B. It’s from DDB/London, instead. Good job, guys.
Tip’o the hat to Scamp.

Track #40 in the Music for Monkeys playlist, “Men In White Coats,” by The Dallas Guild (no relation to my Dallas, they’re from London). Enjoy.

Thanks to the American Copywriter’s blogroll, I’ve found another ad blog based here in Dallas: Irene Done’s “Not Billable.”
She’s funny and she blogs like it’s going out of style (and at some crazy-ass times of the day).
Check it out.

Just received word that we have three spots that have made the shortlist cut at Cannes:
The two Bud spots that were shortlisted at the CLIOs (and won at FIAP) and a spot called “Reality” that recently made it on to the AICP reel in the Public Service category (a tough one). I’ll see if I can dig up a .mpg of “Reality,” so check back in later on.
You can view the Bud spots by following the link, above, earlier in this post, but here’s the new AICP-winning and Cannes-shortlisted spot, “Reality.” It’s a 28 meg .mov file, so you may want to open it in another window and go about your business for a while (don’t worry about the bandwidth (I have plenty), but still, please don’t hotlink directly to it from elsewhere):
Credits on “Reality” include Patricia Martinez de Velasco/Roberto Sneider (directors, La Banda Films), Aldo Quevedo (ECD), Rose Gomez (AD/CD), Gabriel Gutierrez (CW) and Boris Nurko (producer). The spot was edited by Glenn Conte of Red Car/Dallas.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed.

Bruce Arena: showed me nothing.
Landon Donovan: showed me nothing.
We need to import a new coach; you can’t compete on the world stage with university-level tactics. And we need to field a team of eleven who knows what it means to leave everything on the field, every single minute of every single game.
Crap.
