Here it is, folks! Finally, after like four or five days of otherwise being on the air, somebody manages to get this on YouTube! Thanks to my new friend Jenny for putting me up on game! This commercial is all kinds of awesomeness, and I’m so happy that commercials are going in this direction. This gives me inspiration to work towards this kind of career in the near future. Ten years ago people wouldn’t have thought to do this kind of stuff, but we’ve come a long way with graphics.

Sorry for gushing…here’s the video:

Sherwin-Williams!

I saw a pretty cool commercial on TV today during either the Cavs-Bulls game or the Hawks-Bucks game. There appears to be NOTHING on the internet—not even at Sherwin-Williams’ website regarding this commercial—in video form or otherwise. I would like to post this video to show you what I’m talking about, but sadly, I do not have a DVR nor any screen-video-capturing equipment (that I know of). When I see it online (cause I plan to search every day going forward), I’ll post it. It’s pretty friggin cool. It reminds me of the Honda Crosstour commercials. I just like what these crazy animators are doing nowadays! It’s inspiring.

I’m sick of these websites (especially file sharing sites) playing random audio commercials in places that you can’t find. You get redirected from a music blog to a new mixtape verse from  your favorite artist or whatever, and the next thing you know, you’re listening to the new song with an additional track playing along with it…for the first few seconds, you think it’s an elaborate intro meant to throw you off a little bit, or maybe if you listened properly it’d be some kind of allusion to the theme of the song…but NOOOOOOOOOO! It’s a friggin commercial. For the most asinine thing you can think to want to sell somebody. Totally unrelated to the song whatsoever.

The worst part is that you can’t get to it; there’s no way to find a pause or stop button, there’s nothing you can disable or ‘kill’ as it were. You either have to reload the page and hope that the ad doesn’t play for the second time, or you have to just download the track, or whatever it is you’re downloading (no previews) and get it over with. Boy I tell ya, I hate them options.

Just…just stop with the phantom ads. No more, please. Figure out how to make that not happen anymore, because my guess is that it’s not intentional–I’m giving you guys the benefit of the doubt.

I like this commercial. I know it’s been out since the Super Bowl but I just haven’t thought to post this until now. I can see myself doing this kind of animation in the future. *Thanks, School!*

I don’t give a damn about the Crosstour, though. I have a car.

I wonder…is this the same set they used for Slum Village’s “Tainted” video?

Okay, maybe it’s not the exact same, but I feel like they got some of their ideas from here.

But really I just wanted to make this post so I’d possibly be the first to say anything about it on the internet.
