I’ve highlighted the incredible editorial photography of Amusement Magazine before. Now they’re back with more stunning imagery, this time for a feature called If I Were President. Photograpy by the excellent Joseph Ford. What, no Virtual Boy?

Kia liked the hamsters from David & Goliath’s Soul launch commercial so much, they’re bringing them back. Truth be told, rap spoofs are one of most tired, idiotic storytelling mechanisms in existence. But somehow, with hamsters riding around in toasters and laundry machines, this works for me.

dulux-lets-colour-project2Scooped from glossy: A fantastic 2:00 short film for Euro RSCG’s Let’s Colour Project. The spot features 120 different colours, a great soundtrack with Jonsi’s Go Do, and 650 hardworking people from Brazil, France, India, and London. It’s the best combination of advertising and public service I’ve seen this year.

Oh, and it’s directed by Adam Berg, the man behind one of the greatest spots in history, Philips Carousel. If you’ve never seen it, please leave this blog and never come back. But before you do, watch it at the bottom of this post.

The copy needs some work, but I’m still really diggin’  these new ads for Legal Sea Foods, a great seafood restaurant you should check out if you’re ever in the New England area. By DeVito/Verdi, New York.

OK, so I just bagged on MTV and its programming  in a post earlier this week. But this looks intriguing.

Part of a three-part campaign by Almap BBDO, Brazil. This is the only one worth showing, so it’s the only one you get. I’m such a jerk.

mtv-spookyMTV was once cool. Before it was nothing but Real World spinoffs, spray tans and hair gel, it was about music, spontaneity, creepy idents that didn’t make sense, and an element of hip that transcended the teeny-bopping set. You know, when the M stood for Music instead of MySpace.

la comunidad gamely tries to bring back some of the old MTV weirdness in these World Cup themed spots. Fun, but it isn’t enough to make me forget how far MTV has fallen.

DANIELS, a production team made up of two Daniels, have crafted a slick-looking, hip-to-the-nines music video on a shoestring budget for Icelandic electronica band FM Belfast. Underwear has never been so cool. From Motionographer.
