Inspiration

I've been asked to create a high-tech, high-energy type commercial for a laser tag arena.. Any good, similar spots out there to get the creative juices flowing?

Thanks!

Well, in my opinion, if you want to create original work, you really need to look outside of advertising for inspiration.

But if you're looking for similar ads, just watch some Nerf commercials. They have Nerf guns and the kids go around running and shooting.

Oh, that's what you guys call it? I've played that. More than once. And every time my team gets beaten by a bunch of twelve-year olds.

they're fast, those little monkeys! - also they will not hesitate if they can gang up on a weaker team-player. Evuuuul.

In my gamehall, I knew a good corner where if you hit the mirrors just right you could take out people running past in the hall next to you. I'm evul too.

Laser tag? What the heck is that?

Åsk:

Laser Tag is a hi-tech version of paintball.

Instead of hitting someone with your color paint (from your paintball gun*), you zap 'em with a laser (handheld gun), that registers on the vest and(?) helmet that you wear. Plus, you usually play indoors. It's a team sport, most usually. The people who run these usually have various obstacles, and odd lighting as part of the game area.

They been around for about 10 years or so. I'm surprised that you didn't see or hear about them when you lived in the USA. (There is a higher tech version in an X-File epsiode [either the 8th or 9th season] where the game area has lifelike, 3-D holographic projections, all computer controlled, including your opponents).
