do i miss the point or is this just a very boring ad?

I'm with john doe. They are all boring as hell... There are much better angles.

The target will get it but are they gonna find it smart? Or just plain lazy? I know I did.
And are they trying to say something buy choosing 3 fallon ads out of 5? And the set of pictures chosen are a bit off. They seem like the ones I'd choose to describe them after seeing the ads, not the ones that would get me inspired before making them...

...or am I missing the point??

You're probably right, besides these are tv ads... inspired by a...photobank?

You find inspiration in a photobank to create... tv ads... hmmmf it's nice tho.

So the idea here is that you find these images in their image bank and you come up with great TV ads.

That's a nice thought but totally wrong.

To find these images you have to type in a keyword. I can't find a keyword that connects these 4 images that will then inspire me to create the Sony Cybershot ad.
That means I have to type in different keywords for each image. That way I already know what I'm after.
In other words, I got my inspiration elsewhere and I am just looking for images to put on my mood-board to accompany the storyboard.

I think that the real target for image banks is not ATL advertising agencies but BTL & PR-agencies, publishing houses that do magazines, etc.

I think it misses the mark by quite a bit. I don't want to search anything referencing work that's already been done. Especially when illustrated with boring pictures.

If you're targeting creatives show me a platypus, Saturn, a football and a carton of milk and talk about being able to inspire creativity.

- Commenting in all caps with poor spelling and grammar is so done before -

- The only thing more rare than a good ad is a good guest comment -

Good idea, but I agree with Toro : Image banks are not made for inspiration.
Why do they all communicate on this ?

You´re wrong my friend. In the last years, the image banks started to sell themselves like inspirators. Because, some creatives use it for inspiration.
Look at this:

Te equivocas amigo. En los últimos años, los bancos de imagenes se venden a si mismos como inspiratores. Porque alguno creativos lo usan para eso.

Peraphs you’re right Javo, some creatives do. Anyway, I don’t think that’s the good way, to find things like Cadbury or Sony bravia. Thanks for your answer.
