The shadow on the sand is false !! Can't be ON the camp-site because the sun is low (c'est comme ça qu'on dit ?) : look at the shadows of the peoples and others trucs : there are long. The pterodactyle's shadow can't be IN the visual.

is the idea about being able to grill for a long time because the coals are long-lasting? if it is, using giant animals does not explain the product benefit.

bauer's picture 70 pencils

I think it does, a giant animal would take a long time to grill.
That doesn't mean I like the idea.

I don't think this is hard to understand.
You have coals that last longer, so you go for bigger meats.
Actually i like this campaign a lot.
This one i like less than the others anyway.

that is just bad bad bad photoshop... Those skewed tiny humans trying to bring him down look as fake as Paris Hilton, and the blood kinda trinkles and looks more like dirt on the lense than actual wounds...

The copy line "Throw bigger parties", falls completely flat as there is NO impression theres are party going on anywhere. With a line like "Hunt bigger meat", they would at least get the point across much faster. At the very least they would have saved me a few seconds studying the photo looking for cavemen in pointy hats, dancing naked aroung a great big bonfire.

Dumb, weak, booring, ugly and stupid... this just stinks from here to there.

I don't get I...
You fail : But thanks for trying ;)

C'est grâce a ce genre de pub que l'on voit la qualité d'autres ^^

simon.gross's picture 482 pencils

Yeah, it's ok. I don't love it. Find the idea of killing big animals a bit of a turn-off. My CD's always bangin' on about "appetite appeal" for food/food related products. I think this fails in that regard.

heresjonny's picture 21 pencils

I don't know what you guys r looking at, but i look at this and love it.
The mammoth is my favorite.
Well done, boys.
