Vintage ad of the week. A Ron Harris Production: Aerobicise Presented by American Apparel.

Aerobicise was created in 1981 by award-winning fashion photographer, Ron Harris. American Apparel contacted Ron in mid-2012, in hopes of republishing some of his original material. He agreed and we were invited to dig through his personal archives including VHS, laser discs and 35 mm slides relating to the now-classic workout series. The content seen here is our re-edit of Ron's original Aerobicise masterpieces. Enjoy!

B&W ad of the week#2. Pub Leica M-Monochrom - L'âme d'un Leica.

Via www.saatchi.com 

Leica Store São Paulo Captures the Soul of Photography

São Paulo - The first Leica Store São Paulo film has been created by F/Nazca Saatchi&Saatchi, and presents to the Brazilian market the M-Monochrom, Leica's digital camera that only shoots in black and white.

The film, shot in black and white and narrated in German as an homage to the birthplace of Leica, gives a fleeting glimpse of the lives of a war photojournalist and his lover in 1955.  Told from the POV of the photographer's trusty Leica III, the story follows him to a conflict where his attraction to photographing the frontline proves fatal. His camera meets a similar end, however 58 years later it is reincarnated as the Leica M-Monochrom.

Directed by Vellas from Sentimental Filme, the film's Photography Direction is by André Faccioli.

Although one Leica model has been chosen for the campaign, the concept of the film represents the ethos of the brand itself when claiming "Every Leica has a soul".

According to F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi's Creative Director Eduardo Lima, "Every frame of this film was thought to be a photograph. The reinterpretation of the facts through the camera's point of view gives life to an inanimate object, capturing the soul of photography."

All the images were produced in four days of filming and no archive images were used. In the end, the film lives up to the expectation of taking photographs with a Leica: a soulful process that creates a real masterpiece.

B&W ad of the week. New Guinness Advert 2013 - Clock.

The story of the clock that challenges the ordinary. 
'Clock' is the new Guinness advert released in January 2013. 'Clock' celebrates the attitude shared by Guinness and its drinkers -- that you get more out of life by putting more in. It is set in Bohemia in the 1890s and tells the story of a town's clock that doesn't settle for the ordinary; the clock starts to control time to enhance the townspeople's days; accelerating time to make a task go faster, reversing time to avoid an unfortunate event and pausing time to allow a precious moment to last longer. To learn more about the "Clock" and join our Made of More community, visit us on our Facebook pages or our website.

Emotional ad of the week. Power of The Everyday - P&G.

"As we begin another year, we embrace the notion that the biggest impact in our lives comes not in the grand gestures, but in the everyday acts. We remind ourselves that the greatest changes begin in the simplest moments - the conversation over breakfast with your 10-year old, or your baby's first steps. At P&G we see the power that these everyday acts have in defining our lives, our family's lives and the life of our planet. We call this the power of The Everyday Effect."

Sport ad of the week. Nike Basketball | Kobe Bryant: #COUNTONKOBE.

“This is how the world works. The sun shines. The grass grows. Kobe Bryant arrives to practice at 3. The other three. Chickens bock, bock, bock. Broccoli can fight cancer. Rice provides energy. Kobe eats rice, broccoli, chicken and the world turns.

“Earthquakes shake, bakers bake, Kobe Bryant shakes and bakes defenders. Philosophers ponder existence, scholars read, Kobe Bryant takes everyone to school. Rain falls, waterfalls dump water, Kobe owns the bucket, that bucket. Snakes are light, low and fast.

“Kobe’s shoes are like snakes. Bees sting when threatened. Kobe Bryant is never threatened. Best is ahead of better. The basket is ahead of the ball. Kobe is light years ahead of them all. This is the way it was, this is the way it is, this is the way it will be.”
