thanks @rhysrama for some sick linkage

Jamba Juice’s Cheeseburger Chill:
-Now before you say, “Jamba Juice and Cheeseburgers??? Ewwwww!!!”  Let me tell you that this is a spoof spot and that Jamba Juice is calling out McDonald’s for their attempt to get into the smoothie business.  If you go to their link, you can get a buck off your next smoothie.

Levi’s “One Man Walking America”:
Who doesn’t love stop motion when it works?  This viral ad from Levi’s has a guy walk across America using only a Canon 5D Mark II, a protractor, measuring tape, and a tripod.  The behind the scenes piece was pretty cool, but now it’s been taken off.  If anybody finds it, send my way.

“Ohio” Music Video for Outside Royalty:
-I love Bill Sneed’s work.  Maybe more because he showcased his talents in the Film Fest I Co-Produced, Twenty120 ( www.twenty120.com …ha! a little plug). This is a journey of a camper that goes land, sea and air.  Fun and song isn’t bad at all.

Short shot and edited entirely with the new iPhone 4:
-Really nice short shot by an iPhone 4.  Makes me wanna go out and get one.  Oh yeah, it was edited on the iPhone too.  The City Harvest spot created by The Mill was shot on multiple iPhone 3gs.  Imagine if were shot on an iPhone 4 (City Harvest: http://youtu.be/2V5fKX_U3qY )

901 Silver Tequila:
-This one is for the Justin Timberlake lovers.  This is the first commercial he’s Directed and it’s for his new product, 901 Silver Tequila.  I’ll be honest with you all…I love the dude.  I think he’s pimp and he is multi-talented. I had to send this out.  I don’t think the spot is amazing though.  Strike on me.

Mazda’s Driverville:
-Mazda has taken the social networking experience to another level.  They’ve developed a racing game using their products to build a car and race against friends.  Seems like a cool idea and would be even cooler if you can take it even further by creating an actual car, racing it with friends, and having the possibility of buying it.  But good to see the envelope being pushed in social media.
