Now I'm not the best at films. I haven't watched the Matrix, nor all of the James Bond's. I'm pretty sure I haven't even watched Edward Scissorhands.
So apologies that I was unable to guess even half of the 26 films referenced in this advert by Wieden + Kennedy for the Guardian/Observer, which promotes their film season.
The illustrations and designs behind the advert are really simple, with clear colour palettes and easy-to-the-eye graphics. The only qualm I have about it is that for an advert it takes a lot of concentration. I'm sure many people would happily go online to guess the 26 films, however even though I've seen it on television it wasn't until I happened to come across it online that I chose to look further into it. Aside from that it's an interesting piece of film, which combines some of the worlds best loved cinematography into a short snappy ad that would probably get film buffs jiggling about in their seats.
Nice graphics and an intriguing piece to capture your imagination and make you relate to the featured films. I love the seamless sequences, flowing seamlessly from one film to the next...I certainly can't name all the films but I will definitely follow up the link to find out what made it to the final cut. I think there should be more focus on film history and film sequence designs because they often unite many different aspects of creativity.
