Written by Paul van Veenendaal on June 24th, 2009 | 3 comments

Last year, a gamer by the YouTube username Levinator25 found a “Walk on Water” glitch in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. EA Sports reacted brilliantly with a video response, showing Tiger Woods performing a Jesus Shot in a real, non-video game life and proclaiming “It’s not a glitch”.

Create The New ViralBlog And Earn Global Fame

Written by Igor Beuker on June 17th, 2009 | 2 comments

We would like to practice what we preach here every day: observe, listen and change. So we decided that not we but YOU should be able to create the new ViralBlog. Because it’s not our blog, it’s yours…

seehearspeak

So we are gearing up to redesign ViralBlog from 800x 600 to 1024 x 768 soon. That is about time you bunch of turtles, I hear some of you thinking. And you’re right. Our lame excuse is that “the painter is always busy with the houses of clients, that’s why he forgets about his own home.”

Written by Igor Beuker on June 2nd, 2009 | no comments

If you are working at an advertising agency, you might not be called partner but “vendor” or “supplier”? And you might recognize this video…

Luckily we do not experience this shameless behaviour very often. And if we do, we forward the potential client to eBay, where they can bid for the lowest price 24/7…

How do you deal with clients like this?

The Dark Knight Trailer Recut: Toy Story 2

Written by Paul van Veenendaal on October 9th, 2008 | no comments

Comedy site SpikedHumor.com has posted an outstanding re-cut version of the Toy Story trailer with audio and voice-overs from The Dark Knight.

In the mashup, Woody (Tom Hanks) takes on the role and voice of Heath Ledger’s Joker, and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) functions as Christian Bale’s Batman. The video is effective in portraying Toy Story as a dark, epic crime thriller. Other characters from The Dark Knight, substituted for their Toy Story counterparts are Alfred (Michael Caine) who voices Rex, the green dinosaur and Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox) whom is portrayed as Mr. Potatohead.

Cadbury Relaunches Gorilla & Trucks Ads

Written by Paul van Veenendaal on September 10th, 2008 | 1 comment

About a year ago Cadbury unveiled its £6.2m campaign for Dairy Milk featuring a gorilla playing the drum solo of Phil Collins’ track ‘In the Air Tonight’. The original Gorilla advert, launched during last year’s Big Brother 8 UK final on 31st August 2007, became a cult classic on its release last year, and was viewed more than 10 million times on YouTube. The advert also helped Cadbury’s sales to rise by nine-percent. The much-anticipated follow-up “Trucks” was released in March this year.

The hundreds of parodies e.g. Wonderbra, X Factor, RebelVirals and remixes of the original like 50 Cent, Eastenders and Word Up, posted on YouTube and sent in by fans, inspired A Glass and Half Full Productions to release a new Gorilla and Trucks version, to pay homage to all internet mash-up artists.

Written by Igor Beuker on August 27th, 2008 | 1 comment

Nokia produced a campaign that ran during the ad festival in Cannes in June 2008, tied to its N-Series sponsorship. As part of the campaign, they assigned camera crews to cover the 26 creative teams from around the world who participated in the Young Lions Film Competition. See the Young Lions Rewind video of Team Brazil…

They young lion creative people were given Nokia N95 phones on which to shoot their entries in the competition. The guys from Local Theory then edited down all of these little mini-documentaries and posted the videos as a YouTube Channel.

The teams that post the most views will end up being featured in a half-hour special that will run on MTV early 2009. You can also check out the entire Nokia N-Series Young Film Competition.

The videos give great insights into the creative minds of many young teams around the globe. Tell our community how you rate this campaign…
