The thing that made the OK Go video amazing was that it was in one take. Not only was the Lucozade version dull, it cut to different angles thus defeating the purpose.NHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-87902808961746652652008-09-30T20:01:00.000+01:002008-09-30T20:01:00.000+01:00"Pseudo-realism. It's probably just me that gets annoyed about it, and I can't put my finger on why.

Fake Fake' that lovely black velvety creamy company can do no wrong in my eyes :-)steph_angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13823507771050675119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-27737454706139397762008-09-29T10:47:00.000+01:002008-09-29T10:47:00.000+01:00You always bring us the best of the Intertubes, Becky. (At the risk of sounding like Mr Universe in 'Serenity'...)<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen any of the adverts you mentioned, but then my TV only seems to want to pick up the various BBC channels.

All those vibrant colours, and the way it builds to a crescendo.<BR/>Who'd though it posible to make slinkies out of post it notes?<BR/>I can't list adverts that annoy me or we would be here all day, But I think our tastes seem quite similar.<BR/><BR/>:o)sophie hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01223217263431698706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-83506055745494886322008-09-28T01:05:00.000+01:002008-09-28T01:05:00.000+01:00I didn't like the bouncy ball ad. The balls looked artificial, like CGI, to me. Its only after seeing the making-of that I can believe it was for real. Their ad with the <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLUAbkRUvVQ&feature=related" REL="nofollow">plasticene bunnies</A> is much cooler though.<BR/><BR/>I didn't care for the gorilla either, but the new version looks awful, and the tune doesn't work at all.<BR/><BR/>Conversely I quite liked the airport race. I never thought it was "real" for a second, but it has such a sense of exuberance and glee, that I loved it at first sight.Pandora Caitiffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02912184784443896172noreply@blogger.com
