Cool ad...

So Andrew Sullivan often posts cool ads on his blog. I really liked this one.



If you've got another four and a half minutes, the "making of" video is pretty cool, too.



I enjoy watching dance numbers way too much for someone who can't dance at all...

Commercials...

Anyone else noticed either one of these two commercials? Both arrived in my inbox in the same week. They got me thinking about advertising and if these long, mini-movie type of ads are going to become more and more common. I wonder...while production costs might be higher, is that outweighed by the low cost of distribution? (And further mitigated by the way these spread through email forward, etc.?)

Just something I'm thinking about...any thoughts? (It's been really quiet out there is Comment-land, but I know some of you are reading...)
