3. What Is Google Wave?
Google’s attempt to re-invent a modernized version of email, Google Wave, launched last week. But not for everybody! Google does its invites only (100,000 invites were given away) trick again, and just as it worked great for Gmail it created a lot of buzz for Wave. But what is Wave? This video, created by Epipheo Studios, explains it all. Well, about 3.5% of it all. The video got over 330,000 views since 2 October and got posted on sites like Gizmodo, TechCrunch and Lifehacker.
4. Pianotrappan
With this new campaign, developed by DDB Stockholm, Volkswagen turned a subway staircase in Stockholm, Sweden into a giant piano as part of their ‘Theory of Fun’ campaign. The effort is just one stunt that appears on the carmaker’s Rolighetsteorin.se website, which showcases efforts to get people to change by simply making things more fun. The Giant Piano clip got over 500,000 views on YouTube in just over two weeks.
5. The Closet
We have all had to tell a little white lie in our lives, but some people are better at it than others. In this video, a man makes up a miraculous story about the way he ended up in the bedroom closet. Given the fact that he is only wearing boxer shorts, a woman is lying in the bed and her husband has caught him hiding in the closet, it’s amazing that he manages to convince the husband. The video is an ad for the French film and television studio Canal+, where our storytelling hero works. Since the upload on the 1st of October, the video has been viewed 297,412 times.
