Cute. I wonder if Spielberg actually directed, or is just playing the director? It’s very well edited.

Standoff: XBox 360 advert

Writing about web page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoA5mC5FgIw

I’m fascinated by this advert for the XBox 360:-

It was never aired, and it’s easy to see why (though it’s had a phenomenal afterlife on Youtube, with millions of views). It’s odd to watch, because it’s at once funny and clever, yet slightly disturbing. Was there ever a time when it could have been shown on TV? Perhaps in the early eighties, when the fashion for violent cop shows on TV was at its height?

Gates & Seinfeld: Together at last again

Follow-up to Gates & Seinfeld: Together at last! from Autology: John Dale's blog

It’s not really about anything, nor is it overtly trying to sell anything. I can’t decide whether it’s brilliantly clever or pointlessly stupid.

Flash shopping video

Writing about web page http://www.martinandosa.com/web/sbo/index.jsp?catId=mens

If you’re interested in creative uses of Flash video, you might want to take a look at this shopping site . Try mousing over any one of the models, or click on “Night” or “Weekend” or “View women’s outfits”. It’s very clever, and beautifully art directed, but at the same time isn’t it just a little bit… weird?

Awesome

So, Michael Bay. Not renowned for his cerebral approach to film-making, nor necessarily for being a sweet and charming person. But in this advert for some American internet thing or other, he does at least manage to poke a little bit of fun at himself. And his barbecue. And his pool.

Guitar Heroics

Writing about web page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDi6NR7zXvI

You know what’s wrong with guitars? They’re not heart-shaped enough, and they don’t have enough necks – mostly one, sometimes two. It’s a relief, then, to find uber-widdler Steve Vai fixing both these problems with this frankly insane guitar solo during a Whitesnake concert in 1990.
