Very rarely is there a commercial — such as the cadbury gorilla ad that came out a few months ago — that has such an impact that just a short while later people are using people’s knowledge of that commercial to sell their own shit.
People might say they’d rather see this version here, but I think the gorilla will always have the glory of getting there first.
This is part of the best of Youtube series.. the past few years the AICE (association of creative editors) sponsors a competition where all of the assistants and interns in post houses that fall under their banner can recut a trailer for one of three movies they provide to make it seem like a different film than it really is.
This year they got to choose from The Departed, Little Miss Sunshine, and The Queen. Fortunately the company I work for was part of the competition and some guys here came out with some great stuff — unfortunately it hasnt been uploaded anywhere yet.
I did find someone elses which is OK and worth a watch. below that are probably to two greatest all time entries. Ill post more from this year as they come up.
