WTF am sure this guy is seeing only black

One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.

I think it reminds me one campaign of ¿Nikon? but exagerated (that's what makes de point!) and better done.

Good work!!!!

Interesting. So the zoom is so strong, that the animals are being sucked towards the lens. Hmmm, but then I don't see anything anymore... However it still is interesting. But IMO the art direction could be better. Especially the one on the koala.

I like it too, but i see somekind like this before.

there was an ad with a very similar idea very close to this concept done by nokia " please i dont have the link for it " and it was a lot funnier than this...

Not just Nokia, but like Pauflies said, for Nikon as well. Even Contract, Mumbai did it very recently for some binocular brand.

That makes this campaign 'not ground-breaking' but its still nice to see.

...ain't there similar ideas ALL the time???????

"it's all been done before"

That's exactly why I absolutely LOVED that "Stalking" long-copy ad campaign for another binocular brand we saw a little while ago. That was such a fresh, entertaining piece of work for the category!!

Frankly, I'm just about bored to tears looking at these same visual ideas for the same product over and over again...

intersting!

The executions far outweigh the idea.
There hasn't been a decent thing here for days.

Really nicely done. I'm willing to wager we'll see them in the next Archive...

funny, but unrealistic since that dude will probably see nothing but a black image through his binoculars.
