Zombie ad of the day. The Getaway | DieHard Battery.

We're alive. They're not. And because your running skills are not what they used to be, one thing's for sure: They'll probably capture you. That's why in times of crisis it's always good to arm your car with a reliable battery that can stand the test of time. And the dead.

Italian ad of the day. Freddy - KALEIDOSCOPE.

Freddy - KALEIDOSCOPE - Behind The Scenes from abstract groove on Vimeo.

abstr^ct:groove presents:
Freddy - Wr.Up Sport - Kaleidoscope

This time, creative and production studio abstr^ct:groove had the pleasure to experiment with an ancient visual technique: the kaleidoscope.

"We designed and built 4 thaumascopes of different sizes and shapes. The biggest one was 9 metres long with a triangular opening of 2.5 metres and the smallest was 1.5 metres in length with a square opening of 60 centimetres.

In order to understand how to achieve the graphics patterns we wanted, we started by studying small scale models and then we went onto CGI simulations.

All the effects have been obtained in camera without the use of added post production."

The motion design is powerfully aided by exceptional performers: The Italian National Team of Rhythmic Gymnastic "le Farfalle", choreographed by their trainer Emanuela Maccarani.

The film is directed by Luigi Pane, who was personally involved in set design, soundtrack scoring and the combined choreography of the gymnasts and backgrounds.

The music is produced by Franky B (aka Cryptic Monkey), also known for "Rise of the Kaiju", soundtrack for the Yamaha commercial "The Dark Side of Japan".
