Spike Jonze - Gap ad "Pardon Our Dust"
This ad has been making the rounds, popping up on boingboing.net and so on, but Jeffrey Wells at www.hollywood-elsewhere.com has scored an original version of the ad with Peer Gynt's music. Seems someone changed the final edit to have wacky, this isn't meant to be that serious music... Trying to downplay the subversion. Here's the original, which went a long way to washing the Levy out of my brain and is one of the better ads I've seen in a long awhile. Especially the minivan bit.
Here's the retooled version where it's just ironic or something...
Protocol - Where's The Pleasure
My new favorite band, first discovered here. New video with lots of quick cuts, contrasting colors, and an Asian chick doing an interpretive dance. Cute clip in my opinion.
Link to streaming Windows media. (High bandwidth - only option I can find anywhere as of yet. Can't find any director info either.)
Link to Protocol's official site.
Enya "Amarantine" Dir: Tim Royes
This is going to be a bit boring, I'm afraid...
