This has been emailed round the studio a few times.
We all thought it was home made, but it turns out it’s actually a bloody good campaign from Adobe.
I’ve convinced myself the first one I saw didn’t have the subtle CS4 box in the corner, but now i’m not so sure.
Hats off to Adobe either way!!
This dude can’t sing to save his life, but it’s a massively impressive piece of work. Quincy Jones would buy him a pint i reckon.

Part 2 of my all-new essential guide to trends in advertising; aka “popular+creative YouTube videos brought to terrestrial TV in the form of advertising”.
This time it’s the BBC creative department, again. Spotted this trailer on TV last night.
1/ BBC Sport - We Support Your Team!
2/ Matt McAllister setting the Guiness World Record for the most t-shirts worn at once. (8 million views)
3/ Weezer - Pork and Beans (15 millions views)
More coming soon I’m sure.
A new IKEA magazine ad by zig Toronto promises beds “So comfortable, you’ll need shorter bedtime stories.” And then it fills that need with an accompanying booklet of very, very short stories.
An illustrated Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, The Tortoise and the Hare, and Sleeping Beauty are all told in one sentence. Short and sweet.
Great creative idea, and a gorgeous execution.
This elegant and poetic piece, directed by Shilo, mixes an amazing performance by international spoken word artist Ainsley Burrows, with flowing, metaphorical cg elements and a cinematic live action location.
Working with Saatchi & Saatchi London, Shilo has crafted some impressively integrated moments that add a nice visual spin to accompany Burrow’s voice.
It’s breath of fresh air to have spoken word drive the audio and create the tone vs. the typical monotone voiceovers that we hear soo much today in TV spots.

A teaser for Tron 2 (known as TR2N) was shown at ComicCon this year.
John Lasseter (Chief Creative Officer of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios) was a fan of the original and brought in the scriptwriters behind LOST, and Joseph Kosinski as Director.
Kosinski has yet to direct a full-length feature film but has created some award-winning commercials for Saab, Nike and X-Box.
To get some sense of the visual look that Joseph may bring to “TR2N,” check out this YouTube video of his stunning animated architectural renderings.
However to convince Disney that his vision was commercially viable, Kosinski spent six months with the wizards at Digital Domain.
Together they created the three-minute-long sequence shown at Comic Con as a teaser trailer.
I’ve watched it a few times and can’t wait to see more.
Take a look at the leaked VFX work and updated Lightcycles… and below is the original from Tron (1981).
PS.
