Why show "hitman" and also write "become a hitman"? Ignoring the idea it seems that you are leaving no room for though writing down exactly what's shown in the ad. Wow, I've had a lot of time to comment lately. Nifty. :)

I agree. It's a show and tell job. The "become a hitman" copy is not nedded.

i first thought they are a fine piece of equipment, like a beautifully crafted musical instrument, but you just spoiled the fun.

This would have been better if the shoes were sinked to your iPod.

Everything's better when it's in sync with your Ipod. :)

Supportive copy is good, but "hitman" doesn't need to be spelled out.

When I see a violinbox I don't think hitman. So I don't agree.
great job, great ideas

When you see a violin case modified to hide/hold something OTHER than a violin, what do you think of?
For me (and many others), two words: Tommy. Gun.

And it's not like I grew up in 1930's Chicago.

i liked this ad and agree ^^ ...nice work!

the other execution with remote control isnt as good though....just because you can control something remotely doesnt make you control it well....in fact it just adds another obstacle.

~i first thought they are a fine piece of equipment,~

Ditto.

Same here. Soccer is like music and you play it with these masterpieces.
I would like that better.
