Very similar. This is better though, and its the construct thats the same not the concept.

We're going to need more lube.

thanks a lot for the link

this one has amazing execution
car details under glass and everything else is made perfectly

Except refelction and speaker hole. it looks FAKE because needs some bend/wrap work

Great ad anyway

cute japanese GIFs

Very Nice!

This looks great.

A good idea, and you instantly get it.

I would have been tempted to add gore etc. for more impact but that's just me.

And me, Gagball. Great idea but it begs for better execution. What I hate here: the tyres' on asphalt, the smoke, the red glow, the lamposts, the airport air, the reflections and last but not least – the type. Too clinical (not even a bit of broken glass) for the context of a dramatic crash.

I agree so much.

This one screams for a better execution. And it looks like a staged accident at the airport.

Good idea. Suggestion: Could be executed better. Execution is what ends up making the difference between metal and oblivion.

It has been proven that headsets don't reduce the number of accidents. It's being in a conversation that distracts people. So your whole ad is headed in the wrong direction.

miko1aj's picture 1378 pencils

dear siniora. It cannot be proven because of that simple fact that when You're hangin' on phone using only one hand when driving it's simple biology which doesn't allow You to be as cautious as when You have headset.

simple n clear

teenie's picture 1910 pencils

I get the idea. It's interesting. But anything representing a crash has a lot less impact than the crash itself. It's like North American ads that use metaphor to show how speed/drunk driving/ etc. kills. It's just not as impactful as seeing European/Australian ads which show you the real deal.

monotone's picture 301 pencils

Too many tyre lines on the road?

Anyways, I like it.

I swear I had something cool to put here.
