Audi Service - Mechanics - (2015) :60 (Germany)

A sleek Audi is driving through the desert into the city, when its "service" light starts blinking. Mechanics everywhere in the outskirts of the city seem to react to this as dog would to a dog whistle, they start chasing the Audi, as if a pack of zombies in a scene from the walking dead, climbing running and falling all over each other. It's like a scene from world war Z, the , or playing PS2 game Katamari Damacy. Like when the human ball trend gained ground with Médecins Sans Frontières, Travelers snowball, and Cadbury Sphere.

Radical Media director Sebastian Strasser shot the ad as a big screen film, slathering on the desert dust and cgi humans who are the kind of greasy mechanics you don't know if you can trust your car to without losing your wallet. Our Audi driver reaches safety, an authorised Audi mechanic, and all is well in the end.
