Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
I’m a little late to the party with this one, but if you haven’t already seen it, be sure to check out Sony’s latest ad, called Foam City.
This one follows up the paint, bunnies and balls ads, and though I think the others were better, it’s still rather impressive.

Why waste a good idea?
Apparently, Sony (which recently ripped off the bunnies for their latest Bravia ad) felt that Apple’s iPod arrangement was going to be too tough to beat, so they just replaced the Nanos with their own DSC-T2 cameras for their latest press photos.
Don’t feel too bad for Apple though, as they’ve been known to do the same thing from time to time as well.
I guess they should both feel flattered; right?

Though the bunnies are still in the spotlight, Sony has created another beautiful Bravia ad that is slipping by relatively unnoticed.
Supposedly made exclusively for the Egyptian market, this ad features one of the Great Pyramids getting covered in string in a very Sony way.
It’s an amazing ad, which is why I wonder about the lack of publicity.
Regardless, here you go:

Laura Veirs wanted a music video for her new album, called Saltbreakers, so she created a contest, and opened up to artists for submissions.
The winner was this stop-motion film of the Savage Chickens by Doug Savage, and considering the stolen status of the Bravia Bunnies ad, this just might be my favorite new piece of stop motion.

Hmmm.
Looks like Sony’s new Play-Doh Bunny Bravia ad might not be so original after all.
KozyNDan are an artist team that specialize in bunnies, and some of their past work includes a city filled with brightly colored bunnies:

Seems a bit familiar, doesn’t it?
I’m guessing there’s going to be an uncomfortable phone call between Sony and Passion Pictures some time in the very near future.

Wow!
Remember when I gave you a preview of the new Sony Bravia ad that was being filmed in New York?
Well it’s done, and it’s amazing.
Following in the footsteps of the bouncy ball ad and the paint explosion ad, this spot sure had some big shoes to fill, but with one of the most ambitious stop-motion films ever created, I’d say it managed to top them both.
Featuring over 200 Play-Doh bunnies roaming the streets of New York, a total of 100,000 frames make up this 1:30 spot. The entire commercial took over three weeks to film, used 2.5 tons of plasticine, and employed 40 animators to make the motion.
Prepare to be amazed. Again.
And a behind the scenes:
