What does this have to do with airliners?

A friend shared some United Airlines commercials with me today that I thought I'd share with you guys. I'm sure you've seen some if not all of them by now, but I thought it would be nice to have a couple of them collected in one spot. They don't necessarily say anything about their company so much as the experience of traveling or the enjoyment of flying. Still cool stuff.

I'm sure I missed some, but a quick search online will bring 'em up.

Trembled Blossoms

Advertising Prada's Spring/Summer collection is this colorful video by James Jean. The concept is a bit silly (everything in nature metamorphosizes into a Prada product), but the art style is gorgeous. It reminds me of Okami, Prince of Persia (the new one), or even Odin Sphere. Although the girl walks a bit funny, but I guess you can kinda attribute her to having that "model" walk. The music sounds like Sigur Ros with a female vocalist, but I think it blends well with the video.

Do check out his other artwork on his website. Especially the exquisitely beautiful concept art for this video.

MY NAME IS RAIN.

so i first saw this commercial while i was in the philippines. i was so excited to see his babyface on tv, and then aghast when i realized it was a dandruff shampoo he was endorsing. but i've been raving about his one-liner in this commercial to my US friends who remotely know rain. thank you, youtube.

holy moly. the type in this is alright for the most part. i just don't know why there are a billion different treatments for the type's motion; there's no system in place -- that's the biggest issue here. it's hard to read during some moments. and why in the world do they had to plug their logotype in with the rest of the type. advertising is the devil. white text on black is like dandruff, now that i think about it.

this is the most ridiculous shampoo commercial i've ever seen, but i have to admit that i LOVE IT. whoever wrote the script is a genius. hey, rain gets dandruff too.. and that's why he uses Clear. because DANDRUFF NEVER COMES BACK. CONFIDENCE MEANS NO DANDRUFF. MY NAME IS RAIN. (he likes black.)
