I really loved the limca ad! The background score is awesome, and the girl looks cute!

This AD was made totally in half an hour(including editing and dubbing), so please excuse the shake in the camera...

YouTube - NEED FOR SPEED

EDIT: As the video was just uploaded,(1:10 IST) it mught take a while to actually go online on youTUBE.

Nice concept. A little crisper and a little more attention to the boy's facial expressions would've made it better IMHO.

And although the camera was shaky and primitive, a few more camera angles would've been nicer.

Good job anyway!

@cyrus43 - your ad is good in concept, however it could be executed a bit better

keep up the good work!

a new ad that i like these days is the vodafone amar chitra katha - the one with the guy in office talking about some sleeping rakshash and how when he says elephants walking and the girl on the desk almost falls off the table

Thanks for the comments guys. As i said, It was done very quickly and hence, we coudnt do it well. Let me see if I can upload my movie on you tube. Anyone know any good Video Cuting softwares?

Has anyone seen Rupa "Frontline Day" ad recently?? mind blowing..

normally_crazy · 9th March 2009, 10:18

The Mahindra Scorpio ad is on air and frankly it's no great shakes !

A S H V I N · 9th March 2009, 12:06

quite a few nice ads airing right now. ones which i like are the new CISCO ad, the AXE effect ones are nice as well. the vodafone and airtel promos are good as well. oh and i like the music in the XYLO ad, for some reason.

@cyrus43- nice concept. great effort for the whole thing to be done in half an hour! i think maybe if you are interested you should re do it, taking some time and tweaking on the finer points. good stuff!

I wish to add this ad to the worst ads list.

This is the undergarment ad (I don't recollect the brand name), where this woman wakes up in the morning to find monkeys (yes, monkeys) have taken the underwear and the monkey wearing it becomes a hit with other female monkeys!!

The guy who created the ad, the marketing head who approved the ad, the media that agreed to cast this ad, the CFO who actually wrote out the cheque for this ad and the models (including the monkeys) should all be thrown into the dungeons and debarred from society.

If anyone can remember the brand, please update me.

Sick ad.

....Amul Macho is the brand name. No, I'm not too much into watching UGs ads :-))

five46 · 9th March 2009, 14:21

On a different note, I would rate the Amul Macho ad postively. The ad seems to have accomplished its mission. It was preceded by another ad with the same 'Ye to bada doeeng hai' jingle. IMHO, it seems to have caught the right audience.

Saw it yesterday and did not understand what the advt was trying to convey!

Guy goes over a dune and then plays golf (in the dunes!!!) and then drives on road with an escort.

Expected something better!

and what about 'the mighty muscular scorpio" the tag line is just atrocious.

Bajaj ad s are intresting and innovative, the latest one where 2 sisters fight to get a ride on the bike is good!

Frankly, i liked it as well. Downloaded the ad from their website thanks to the music.

The new Scorpio ad is senseless as in, who plays golf in the desert?!
