Radio did these just for the heck of it, and they're nice. Reminds us how much we miss Peggy, Don, Joan and Roger. We need our Mad Men fix, and we need it now.

The board of directors at Hyundai did not approve this ad, as they deemed it "too shocking for our brand", but it's still quite a funny idea showing off the three-door car.

Actor was shot with a real taser...But he was wearing protection under his clothes that prevented him from actually being electrocuted.

Keir Dullea encounters a mysterious object, in a scenario reminiscent of the penultimate scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey that he appeared in over forty years ago.

Everything in this 2001 homage is absolutely perfect except Keir's shoes. They look comfortable. That's all wrong. Still, I think even the toughest Kubrick fan will approve, and even squeee a little.

This spec teaser was developed over a two year period on a shoestring budget. Live action was filmed multi-camera, against greenscreen atop a backlit plexi floor. Mr. Dullea was then integrated into an entirely digitally created CG set rendered at 1080HD.

Fresh faced Dutch director Jelmar Hufen wrote and directed this little film, which comes complete with a small town full of characters, a great soundtrack, and the protagonist who just wants to ride his motorbike but has nobody to hang out with, now that all his mates have 'picked up girls on the high street'. The desolated town shots are great, I really like how this clip is crafted. Our hero goes to high street to see if he can "pick up a girl too", and that's when it gets even weirder.

The mumbled prayers. The ticking clock. The grimy dark setting. The screams from the bedroom. It's all so spot on, the only thing that could make this any better was if it ran only on Halloween. Dirt devil, get on that please.

Move over doofus-dad and dorkman, here we have Diet-coke-sexyman collecting apples until someone has the bright idea to turn on the sprinklers and the wet t-shirts come off. Actually, they only do that in this directors cut, you will not see this ad air, ever. This is spec only, client didn't say yes.

Students Zorica Micic and Ana Hansel at the Miami Ad School in Berlin have this spec idea that you should be able to add homeless people as your friend, on facebook.

Holding up signs, with their name (reminiscent of the Hello Project), the signs say "give me a place in society" and have a QR code, making you able to befriend them in the virtual world.

Then they plan to build internet stations for the homeless, where they can log on and maybe find some encouraging words of support from their friends. "Because if someone is down, friendship helps them get up again".

Lets just pray the homeless people never meet anonymous or 4chan trolls out there, the internet can be a very mean place.

Little spec commercial shot in Madrid, a few months ago, on Red One camera with UltraScope Anamorphic Lens.
Shoot in one day.
62 takes.
For almost every single take, the 7 runners had to run a 90 meters sprint
(corresponding to the distance between the beginning of the street and its end).

magical, dreamy Asia aboard the air carrier Thai Airways.
