I don’t know why I had never seen these before but I just found a page with an old Saab campaign from the 90’s called Saab Vs. Its a really beautiful campaign but my favorite has to the be the one above, Saab Vs Russian Roulette. [Link]

You can watch them for free on Google Videos. [Link]

A really hair-raising safety advert. [Video]

The photography shoot was today and it went good. We originally had 4 different locations we were going to shoot but in the end I had to kill one because it wasn’t going to work out. I really like shooting ads in Lebanon. The quality of work you get from here is really world class. The photographer we were using is really the best one I have ever dealt with. For people living in Lebanon you might have seen his work, he does all the Aishti and Aizone shots. The Aishti work is so good that I used to think they were shot in Europe and was surprised when I found out they were shot in Lebanon by a Lebanese. Anyway I come back to Kuwait on Saturday, can’t wait.

I just found the NBK Yabeela! commercials online while trying to find a local production company. They also have some other locally created commercials. [Link]

Just found this website while looking for an old soccer commercial, it seems to have all of the popular soccer commercials I have ever seen and they are all downloadable for free. Very cool. [Link]

If only Nat’s dad was this cool. [Link]

I was coming in to work today when I briefly saw an ad on the street which at first glanced looked like Coca Cola had some sort of deal with Sony Ericsson. When I got to the office someone was talking about the new Wataniya ads with Rotana. So I go to the Wataniya website and there was the ad I saw in the morning. It wasn’t Coca Cola with Sony Ericsson, it was Wataniya with Rotana and Nokia!

This is one of my favorite ads and its for the BiC permanent marker. Since Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, this ad is showing how permanent the marker really is. Say this woman is around 60 years old now that means she got the autograph when she was max 30 years old, that would mean the marker lasted over 30 years. Here is a link to the larger version.

The Eminem Apple ad that was played for the first time during the Apple event a few days ago was pulled. Want to know why? Check this.

This is what Psyop did awhile back [Link]
This is the ad Apple did [Link]

Notice the similarities? Maybe Apple should rework the color scheme atleast.
