It seems to me that there are 2 kings of the ad-making filmmakers' world - Wes Anderson and David Fincher. These 2 directors commercial-making veterans, with Fincher's pre-film career work with Propaganda Films, and Anderson being so prolific he's even starred in a few of his own ads. Anything from them is sure to be interesting work. As sure as almost any ad for the World Cup it seems as well. Check out them out after the jump.
Out of all the Amex "My Life, My Card" campaign ads, this one is probably the most fun, if not also the most expensive. It is so very Wes Anderson-like and gives insight into the world of a film director like no other. It's a classic.
David Fincher is known for his gritty visual style in movies like Fight Club, Se7en, and The Social Network. His early work in his ads definitely helps to support that trait. Most of them are so good, it's tough to pick just one. So....here's most of them:
So the John Woo ad in my previous ads post was pretty good. So was Guy Ritchie's ad, putting the audience in the POV of a lowly soccer player on the rise to stardom - everyone's dream come true. But the 2011 Nike "Write the Future" ad by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, just about put those to shame. It is visually stunning, epic, action-filled and more than that it captures the hopes and dreams of each player and the people and cultures they represent when they play at the legendary World Cup. Here it is.
