Shell’s Brilliant Commercial
For this ad, Shell and Partizan closed down roads in New York, London, and Sydney. Some have estimated that it might be one of the most expensive commercials ever produced.
The Quicktime version of the ad is much better, however (click here to view it).












Who wrote this copy?
Shawn,
Really? They closed it all down and not CGI?
Anyway, it reminded me of one of my favourite 'car-vids,'
Claude Lelouch's "C'etait un Rendezvous."

Now that looks like fun!
"Really? They closed it all
"Really? They closed it all down and not CGI?"
I just repeat what I'm told (or read).
