15 June 2008 In The Detail
The 2008 MADC Awards were held Friday night and the winner of Ad of the Year was this from Schweppes…
It is a visually stunning commercial. It even has a loose tie in to the brand, which apparently is all you need in this industry.
It shows us how beautifully we can see the world when we we slow down time. I’d now like to direct you to 0:58 in this commercial and watch the bubbles inside the glass. Anyone else see the jump in frames?
Ironically, when slowed down, this commercial isn’t so beautiful.

That little bit of editing takes nothing away from the ad.

Anyway that shot isn’t even in the original ad which I posted on my blog :p
