Dougal Wilson (of Goldfrapp "Happiness" and Bats For Lashes "What's A Girl To Do" acclaim) has teamed up with Calvin Harris on a new ad for Coke. There's a longer version out there with an extended mix by Harris if anyone can find it...

Watch via shots.net ; m4v

         

Thought this was a music video site? Plainly an ad people. And while Dougal is obviously fantastic and executes this brilliantly, as opposed to music videos the budget on something like this would exceed 400K sterling, so really not a level playing field.

         

open wide the doors to christ for he is really the holder of truth

         

so hey legion, it's alright for you to love chris cunningham's gucci, but as soon as it's a coke spot oh no it shouldn't be on antville. what was it you said? "hmm, very nice and, yes, the transition to pack shot's so seamless"

         

only because i like cunningham's better, but you're right - they shouldn't be here

         

Kids, dinner is ready !

         

The fact is it's a shame music video directors can only earn a living shooting big money TV commercials. Without side projects like this directors like Wilson probably wouldn't be able to shoot promos on zero budget.

         

Yes, please stop posting really great work by really great directors on this site. It suuuuuucks having to watch it.

         

         

I really dont see the problem with ads like these showing up on Antville here and again. It's a noted MV director, get over it.

         

well ok then: martin de thurah's recent ad for rega - mov.

         

Wow, that De Thurah commercial was spot-helming excellence!

awesome music video. A bit short, but great stuff.

Shame about the product placement.

         

Cats in the background...cats in the background.
