Don't get.

Me neither...what's the point?

Headlines integrate really bad into the images. However, despite some art direction details, is good.

Idea??

Rabubi's picture 553 pencils

I think it's cool. It shows how the Sci Fi channels belongs to the supernatural and that we, as humans, are the strange element.

Guest's picture

well...and how could we understand on this print what you just said? By reading the brief at the same time?

it's totaly unclear, so they missed.

Guest's picture

It isn't confusing at all. Really! look at it. I think it's fun

Guest's picture

no

Guest's picture

Yeah, i think it´s not confuse at all, i get it at the first time. Good idea.

Guest's picture

You're watching aliens on the Sci Fi channel. Hence, you're among them. Instead of the usual 'aliens invading Earth'.

Humans are among us. So what? This campaign feels like it needs a tagline to clear up why, exactly, all these sci-fi creatures are freaked out by humans. What does this twist mean? For me, the joke isn't self-evident enough. As a result, I think the idea falls a little flat.

Guest's picture

The campaing is great. All the people that comment talk with bad intentions. But the idea is excelent. It's a great turn. It's a big idea. Really.

Guest's picture

because is yours.

It's only a very confused campaign.

Guest's picture

It's only confusing to the mentally retarded. And aliens trying to hide their existence... like you.

Guest's picture

"mentally ritarded"

ahahahah

Solo un italiano poteva dirlo.

Imparate a essere meno arroganti e non insultare chi non la pensa come voi.

Per quanto riguarda l'annuncio, non si capisce una mazza punto.

E le locandine sono state usate mille volte, non se ne può più.

Jesus. When you watch the SciFi channel you enter the realm of the monsters. You are the outsiders crashing in on their domain, unlike what usually happens. It's an easy get and it's pretty cool.

I love it. Simple and great. Don't listen to the usual, hello-my-portfolio-is-shit random guys posting here.

Guest's picture

Because is yours, dear guest.

Loves it. It's funny and the illustrations are awesome. I'm confused about people's confusion with these ads.

These are great! Though, I'm not sure they expect that viewers of Science Fiction identify with the aliens/monsters more than they identify with humans... I think it's simply meant to turn the situation around. "What if monster movies were told from the monster perspective?" I'm not sure why anyone was confused by these posters, but judging from those folks' understanding of grammar, maybe English isn't their first language.

So simple and so clear! Great!

Guest's picture

I also don't understand people's confusion about this ad. It's so clear!

So simple to get it if you are into sci-fi. And that is the point. It is an inside code for inside people. To make sci-fi folks feel that the channel relates to them.

This is not meant to be understood by all. And that is great advertising.

I love this business!

Guest's picture

I'm not a sci-fi fan what-so-ever and I managed to get the idea in this ad in the first 3 seconds of looking at it. Not sayin' that the idea is particularly earth shattering, but it is clear. I think though, that non-sci-fi fans won't really give a crap about the ad, even if they do understand it.

The idea is excruciatingly simple: We humans, have now entered the lives and worlds of such sci-fi characters as The Creature From the Black Lagoon, etc by watching them...not in person...but figuratively...through television.

My guess is that if you didn't get the ad, you probably won't get what i just said.

Great ads, perhaps a bit confusing for people who don't know anything about old scifi covers.

The message is very forced and confused.

If i watch a film, it goes into my life.
But i don't go into the film.

I think you can guess this ads, but never totally understand them.

Guest's picture

is the typo similar to indiana jones?

Guest's picture

Look, maybe the idea is to reverse the thought. But, at the end of the day, great ads are the ones which are simple and clever and not some puzzle which needs to be decoded.
