The ads more visual effects-oriented than most of the advertisers previous outings. The spots roll-out pre-game, and look for a 3D-animated colossal Jumbotron among other spectacles. A noted motion graphics designer, Bertellotti has worked on previous Super Bowl spots, including last year's Cadillac and Ciba entries, but this marks his game day directorial debut.
