Congrats to Richard Lahart who came up with the winning concept; Stevie Russell, who directed the spot; and Gareth Averill, who designed the sound. These are all young creatives based in Dublin.
Excellent job, guys!
Nice production values, and I'm happy they won an award, but, you can see the pay off coming from the first time they telegraph it with the gun.
I did not like the ad at all. What a waste of time.
too psychedelic for my taste... but good concept, powerful slogan

The idea is much better than the execution.
But it's a great idea nevertheless.
silly
I think that by giving the payoff away from the beggining, they generate a growing tension. Just because you know what's going to happen, it doesn't make you feel less and less uncomfortable, yet interested. I like it.
Wicked spot. Looks a bit like some Unkle Music Video. I like the tension throughout the whole story.
who cares? ima play some tunes instead http://www.mixcloud.com/hoozn/
