G-Nie Arambulo’s Boysen print ad campaign ‘Flowers’ won a Bronze Campaign Lion at the 2009 Cannes International Advertising Festival. This was the second ever Cannes Lion award won by the Philippines and first ever in the print category. The brief seemed straightforward – make flowers out of paint splashes – but it was indeed a simply-said idea with a much more complex process. Arambulo explained that every single part of the photographs [each petal, each color, each stem] was done individually with actual splatters of Boysen Paint, high powered, high-speed flash, a Hasselblad camera, and a Phase One Digital back. The project required “perfect timing, along with the right combination of lights, equipment, skill, and perseverance.” From a distance the ads may look like any other old photographs of flowers but get a little closer and it is clear they are far beyond that. These flowers were not from mother nature but, rather, man-made through and through.
This commercial is fabulous! The creature that reminds me of the soon to be released film, “Where the Wild Things Are”, is so unbelievable lovable. He grows with love and the family can not stop loving him, so he grows out of their car and they have to buy the SEAT Altea Xl to fit their enormous love monster. The score is brilliant, it ads to the drama and makes it the story even funnier. I absolutely fell in love with this commercial.

South East Asia brings us one of the most humorous of ad campaigns for a children’s play product: Play-Doh – Safe no matter what you make. One would definitely assume these ads are not targeted at the children themselves but, rather, at the younger generation of parents that would view these pictures and not create an unnecessary angry protest about it.
To those with a sense of humor and an accepting view of reality, flipping through a magazine and coming across these would cause quite the chuckle. Surely children [or the majority of them at least] wouldn’t actually mold such intricately creepy Play-Doh sculptures as these that would tend to make a parent very, very worried. They are merely implying that Play-Doh is better for children than, say, playing violent video games, copying their overly rebellious teenage brother’s actions, or watching R-rated movies.

Oh my! I just stumbled over Dave Hill’s Photography, and its pretty impressing! What I Like the most are all of his 10 to 20 min behind the scene video and especially the Google Map Location !! (see the Adventure Girl Video below). Born and raised in California Dave is a commercial and music photographer living in Los Angeles, pretty passionate about his work – a lot of HDR and retouching but the results looks great! Dave, if I may, I would write all the credits, clients and retouchers info on the information pop-up… – More of Dave’s work here: www.davehillphoto.com
