Wieden + Kennedy has created an advertisement for Nokia that features stop animation. The stop animation video was created using a Nokia N8 phone, which gives a testimony to the device. This stop animation video has gone viral as it racked up over 800,000 YouTube views. [Fast Company]
Earlier today several tech geeks, writers, and marketers got together in Portland, Oregon to create about 87 short YouTube videos about Old Spice in real time. Across all of these videos, there has been over 4 million views. The videos being created even featured responses to celebrity tweets in real-time.
Ad agency Wieden+Kennedy has designed one of the most bad-ass and viral Nike commercials I have ever seen. In this video you’ll see Homer Simpson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Fabio Cannavaro, Franck Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Patrice Evra, Gerard Pique, Ronaldinho, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Thiago Silva, Roger Federer, and Kobe Bryant. This video has been spreading across the Twitosphere with over 1,000 retweets.
Honda has put together an interesting commercial using the headlights of their Insight line of cars. The commercial is known as “Let it Shine” and it features the cars turning on their headlights at designated times to create an LED display of icons such as two smiley faces kissing and a heart. The idea for the commercial was put together by Wieden+Kennedy in Amsterdam.
A bunch of Insights are parked near a mountain and when the sun goes down, the lights begin to flicker. This commercial will not air in the U.S. so you’re lucky that YouTube has it and I embedded it above. The background music is “This Little Light of Mine” by Berend Dubbe. The commercial was directed by Erik van Wyk, Jeff Kling, John Norman, and Sue Anderson. The commercial first aired two days ago in Belgium.
