New Müller ad 2011 - wünderful stuff

I love the new Müller advert, a wonderful blend of modern nostalgia whipped up using hand drawn animation, computer generated wizardry and real life action!

The advert was created by TBWA\London and shows the Müller robot, developed especially for this advert, wreaking havoc and turning ordinary law abiding citizens into a collection of nostalgic pop culture characters, including none other than Yogi Bear, a selection of Mr Men, Muttley, KITT (The Hoff's ride) and many more! 

The campaign launched with the first round of this year’s The X Factor live finals. The epic, 90-second commercial aired simultaneously across 50 channels, including the coveted slot during Britain’s biggest entertainment show.

Truly wünderful

"I think it's great that a brand should remind us to stir a bit of wonder in our days, and beat the mundane out of our lives. Such a mission needs to reach as many people as we can -- and talk to their heart. It's a rallying cry. It has to be truly wünderful." - Dedé Laurentino, Executive Creative Director at TBWA\London.



Also see the 'making of' the wünderful stuff advert, and below that, an amazing time lapse video of an outdoor graffiti artwork for the campaign.

Weird and Wonderful Alternative Homes in London

Looking to move to London and want something a little different? Why settle for the norm when living in the country's capital? There are many flats to rent in London, but not so many quite like these four.

Perhaps you'd be interested in living in this 134 feet long riveted steel lightship? Which can be found in London Docks. From the outside you wouldn't expect this old ship was a converted home inside. The interior is stripped back and rough, almost having the look of a filmset.




Then of course there's London's famous Container City, a collection of buildings created from re-used shipping containers. If you've looking for property for sale in London then maybe a container is the right option for you! They can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes built to fit you.





How about The Thin House located in Thurloe Square, Knightsbridge?!



Or perhaps London's smallest house, located in 10 Hyde Park Place, Marble Arch. Squeezed between two others, this property was thought to have been built to block a right of way to St George's graveyard to deter grave robbers.



So go ahead and look up some estate agents London and start thinking outside the box! Ok so maybe you won't move into a converted ship, but there's got to be more out there than the standard 4 walls.

If you spot any other strange buildings out there please leave a comment below to add to the list!

Anything Can Fly - Avios Advertising Campaign

Avios, the new name for airmiles, only launched a few days ago and have just released a captivating TV advert to spread the word of Avios.

The Anything Can Fly Advert shows household electrical items, a petrol pump and others flying under their own steam. Hinting towards how you can earn points in the new Avios scheme. Visit avios.com to find out more.



And to see how they went about creating these amazing flying machines, view the video below! I love the flying lawnmower at the end, it has an eerie movement, especially with the music they have put to the film. A great first ad for Avios!

If anyone knows who the music is by in the Avios advert please leave a comment below, I'd be interested to find out who it is!

Looking for inspiration? Follow happy

I'm a big fan of Honda's advertising campaigns, and here it looks like Wieden + Kennedy London, have created another winner for them, with the direction of Dawid Marcinkowski.

When you don't know how - follow happy

That's the lesson the Honda engineers learnt when developing the interior for the new Honda Civic. The campaign follows the story that when confronted by potential customer and his dog, Honda saw that the customer's dog enjoyed sitting in the space between the 'Magic Seats'. They took inspiration from this and the Honda Engineers realised they needed Happiness to be their guide. For them it was the image of a Happy Dog in the back seat of the car which made them keep the Magic Seats.

If we never venture into the unknown how do we get anywhere new? After all, treading along a common path will never lead to something new or innovative. 




As well as this great short video, Honda have created an interactive game where you can learn about how they came to make certain decisions when designing for the new Honda Civic.

Make sure you have your microphone switched on so you can play with the full interactive features!

The BBC's Britain in a day

The BBC have recently started showing adverts to ask the viewing public to get involved in a new programme, set to air sometime in May 2012.

Britain in a day will be compiled from footage taken on the 12th November (this Saturday!) by the public. Everyone is free to upload their own personal video footage for consideration to be included in the actual BBC programme.

I am planning on taking some film on Saturday and encourage you to do so too! You don't have to film all day, just so long as it's filmed on the 12th November and you're not doing anything naughty! See the BBC website for more details about the project.
