Except for a slight paunch on Clark Kent, this is a terribly good ad. Man!

soulbearer's picture 187 pencils

Above all....good insight

LimitedTimeOffer's picture 204 pencils

Whilst I agree the creative execution is super, what is this "insight" you speak of? The ad explains the fast capture ability of the product, but as far as I can see there's no interesting insight into the target here.

simon.gross's picture 482 pencils

Surely the insight is that you can now capture things you would otherwise miss - certain to resonate with any photographer.

TBWA Rocks!

JohnsonPaul's picture 164 pencils

simple and effective ad

rosss's picture 146 pencils

GREAT!

Tincho's picture 1105 pencils

Maybe the bike should be moving a bit in every frame... but that is just a detail.

Awesome work.

chikirom's picture 123 pencils

ja ja ja...so nice!

Cooxie's picture 124 pencils

Great concept, and funny. But if I was Superman, what's the point going inside a booth made of glass to change? If I can't do it in a hidden place, I'd rather do it in the middle of the street, I'd have more space to remove my clothes! :)

Bibhuti's picture 22 pencils

Valid point Cooxie. But it's so funny that people will ignore that little fact.

sloppy4's picture 1212 pencils

why not wonder woman? i always wanted to catch her mid spin. maybe it's a linda carter thing i had going.

puppiepoppy's picture 1582 pencils

Between the 4th & 5th frame, they should feature the Superman with his hand in the underwear adjusting his dick, hahaha.

"Bowww Wowww"

Dick Huges's picture 939 pencils

Do you all work at TBWA? This ad is really bad. The art direction is terrible, and the idea is weak. I'm pretty sure tbwa did a team effort to come here and do positive comments on this ad. It looks like student work. I No offense to students.

TSW's picture 540 pencils

Huges your a dick,
In what way is the art terrible, is it the white space, have you seen the " 8 frames in a row" execution done better, you dont like the logo use. back up your comments if your going to have a go at it.

-SCRATCH 'N' SNIFF

NITROXROX's picture 66 pencils

You must be an american. Small minded, insecure, talentless need I say more.

sloppy4's picture 1212 pencils

i'm a yank. and i liked it.

NITROXROX's picture 66 pencils

In that case my apologies. Guess every country has an asshole.

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

We've all seen allot of bad professional work, so students shouldn't always be the fall back excuse if an idea doesn't look polished, or developed.deeper. Plus this idea kicks ars.

Kick rocks Dick.

Blissful's picture 148 pencils

Yes we all work at TBWA, you caught us, we actually had a meeting this morning and MR TBWA himself told us all to go to ads of the world and praise this ad.

-Nice ad by the way

krautland's picture 2465 pencils

simple way to demonstrate the benefit. winner. now turn it into a campaign.

sold's picture 2341 pencils

i see the campaign:
- a old woman posing to photo smiling, she laugh so muth that her set of teeth pull of!
- a boy and a dog posing, the boy hold an ice-cream, smiling... POW, dog eat the ice-cream, last pic: boy crying.
- some old-fashion guy posing with 3 young women close to her convertible car, a bus pass very fast and, POW, the wig go away.
- a fat family sit on a park bench posing for a pic, POW, bench is on the ground, and family too.
- some guy posing to show how good body he have, but the 8 pics take he shrinking the belly.

well, there are many other possibilities, even better than my examples, i think.

i like this aproach and concept a lot, congrats to the team!

BOOBJOB LOOBCANNON's picture 1872 pencils

They're good moments but generic, to run with this in a campaign, you could use other more iconic imagery. A few ideas are; the bone toss in 2001 A space odyssey, the ali/liston knockout, the moonlanding first step, Janet Jackson's tit popping out etc.

Saying 'done' without saying where, has been done to death.

We're going to need more lube.

DarkSide's picture 899 pencils

I like it.

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.

craftsman's picture 69 pencils

Great concept!
Unfortunately, this Pentax model produces only 3 images per second in the shooting mode...
Still love the ad though.

Ereux's picture 70 pencils

Or 21 with the high-speed advance mode... :)
Love the ad too, btw.
