They might of been also trying to position the colour of their brand towards blue. If you notice at the end they display their logo right after the slogan. Unless I'm mistaken, not a lot of other car manufacturers promote their brand colour.
Nice, well crafted, but not a shocking insight.
the Sim, anyone?
yeah but in silhuettes
Perfect.
i like the colour, i like the musik
well done. its like the game "sims" concept.
Sweet and smart. Liked a lot.

its "sims" meets "stranger than fiction". Beautiful but does not inspire me, just informs me. Keep on trying to save the world while you sell gasoline cars ;)
Yep, although it's a fine-looking job, I share that last complaint with you. i think it's the right ad for the wrong client. It's use by a car company is somewhat fraudulent. No one should feel that great about driving a car.

i like it. but volkswagen? das auto? really?

Blue is the color of what we are preserving. Water and Air. Green is just a way to save blue.
Well crafted, not big idea. Nice to watch.
wow! I'm so bored. Wake me when it's over.
old message , new skin.
Old use of 3d , nice transition work.
Tiny idea - long movie
Nothing new here.
great idea.. hats off to all who worked behind this...
Nice...

I love it. Beautifully made. Great art direction. Fantastic message for an alternative energy company! Oh wait, it's a car commercial. Oops.

totally agree.
nice message saying nothing new
Love the idea that this is positioning the brand as eco-friendly, not just the cars. The gas mileage and hybrid commercials are starting to get old
