Reminds me of that cool elevator thing.

What was the placement of this?

online at SapporoBeer.ca & edited down to 60 for broadcast.
Crush also did that "cool elevator" thing with director Marco Brambilla.

It's just the Coke happiness factory, Japanese style.

Nice film. but i don't get why there are riders in the beginning and the camera moves down first. think it would be better in one upwards motion.
and i don't know why they showed the brand already at 1:05 - kind of kills the end

Love it for its richness of colour and cultural elements.

The words on the rider's flag means "Legend"
Then those Kanji, or Chinese characters, means premium ale.

However, the last word "Biru", in Japanese, means Beer. (Japanese cannot pronounce r so all the English words which end with r, they may read as Loo.)

I think many things in this ad cannot be understood in Canada...
