Mark Denton and Seth Watkins directed this 3-minute homage to British advertising, titled Adland. It was released by Creative Circle as part of their annual awards program. Denton is the outgoing president of Creative Circle, and you can read about his experience over at shots.net. Like Logorama, the piece features over 80 advertising references, but all of these are British. For instance, the first homage is to Ridley Scott’s Hovis ad (inset). The piece was produced by Coy Communications and the animation was completed by A Large Evil Corporation. The creative concept was originated by Mark Fairbanks, Paul Pateman and Mike Nicholson at AMV BBDO.

This multi-chapter campaign for the Sabritas Foundation was produced at Cluster Studio in Mexico. Sabritas is a non-profit that supports children by building and repairing schools and assisting them in getting to class. BBDO Mexico initiated the project. Here is chapter 1 of Destiny Is Not Written:

With the immense popularity of Glee here in the States, I suspect a campaign like this will be well received. Alas, it’s for the UK. The video promotes Sign Up, a campaign aimed at bringing singing back to schools. The production was handled by Transistor Studios, and the lead animator was Jamie Rockaway. The agency on the job was AMV BBDO.

Mike Wellins, a director at LAIKA/house in Portland helmed these three stop-motion spots for Hormel Foods canned precooked meat product Spam. The agency leading the effort was BBDO Minneapolis.

BBDO Toronto and Proximity Canada have produced an energetic spot for the RBC. It’s a hybrid of 3d & pop-up book aesthetic,  imparting a very cute and youthful feel. Most importantly, it gives Canadians the opportunity to carry the Olympic torch, if they are lucky enough to win the honour.
