DreamWorks Animation creates an awesome colorful live action motion movie poster for "The Croods". The living poster previews The Croods film featuring the voices of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds.

Its only been out for 6 hours and I'm already sick to death of hearing about The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to actually be alive and old enough to experience a full-blown movie phenomenon as I missed the boat with Star Wars and Indiana Jones. At least I understood the frenzy behind The Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter movies and didn't want to light myself on fire every time it came on the news. But this... this has got even the most hardcore fan inside of me screaming "that's freakin' enough Twihards, settle the frak down!"

Sigh. At least the guys over at Film Drunk feel my pain and have put together a brilliant piece on the absurdness of Twilight fans and their signs at the New Moon premiere. I strongly recommend you read the whole thing in its entirety here. Otherwise, the best bits are below:

"I’m only picking a few of my favorites, but clearly this represented a cross section of America’s finest. Like this guy. He likes America, sleeveless shirts, and vampires that sparkle. I think that was a Bob Seger song. Or this girl, the one behind the girl in the front. She wants to be “a stupid lamb.” Or possibly a stupid lamp, it isn’t entirely clear. Regardless, it’s good to have ambitions. Then there’s these girls,who support the Cullen diet, while standing behind a lady who doesn’t seem to support any diets. Diversity is beautiful. Meanwhile, the girl in the front right is enjoying her one day of the month outside. Anyway, I just thought you guys should enjoy some of these photos, because a lot of good cats went hungry for this."

Well said.

In other vampire news, the poster art for Daybreakers hit the net today and it looks siiiiiiick. And how's the quote from Variety; "Take The Matrix and 28 Days Later and you've got Daybreakers". That's a bloody brilliant line about the film and the poster art looks very slick. Very awesome. Very promising and hopefully a far cry from the romantic notion of vampires, I want to see more bloodsuckers darn it. Daybreakers is an Australian film shot in Queensland earlier this year on a budget of $25 million and stars Ethan Hawke, William Dafoe, Isabel Lucas and Sam Neil. Set in the not too distant future (2019 to be exact), a plague has turned most humans in to vampires who are now faced with a dwindling blood supply. Shot by the Spierig Brothers, I really hope this is a successful attempt by them to cross over in to Hollywood mainstream. If the trailer is anything to go by...

In Toronto, Rashers a sandwich restaurant dedicated to bacon and only bacon turned to ad agency Ogilvy&Mather to create this brilliant ambient poster. Tearaway posters of old came to life when they attached real, cooked bacon strips that could be pulled off by bacon loving purveyors and used as coupons at Rashers.

Advertising legend Mark Denton donned a fetching pink nightie to advertise his presence in Amsterdam last week in true red-light-district style.
Denton’s ‘live show’ at 180 Amsterdam last Thursday drew a crowd, many of whom were lured in by a giant poster installation in the front window of the agency showing the Coy! creative director/partner posing provocatively in front of a net curtain.
Denton gave a funny, inspirational no-holds-barred talk to a captivated audience at the agency, giving insights on his 30-year career, his successes and mistakes, as well as his methodology and beliefs.
180 Amsterdam ECD/Managing Partner Al Moseley said: "I always thought Mark was a genius, but I never knew he had such great legs".

The Co-operative Funeralcare, part of The Co-operative Group, unveils a new integrated advertising campaign today.

The campaign, which includes TV, press, radio, outdoor and digital activity, has been devised by Leo Burnett – lead advertising agency for The Co-operative. It is the agency's first output for The Co-operative Funeralcare, and has been developed following extensive consumer research.

The TV commercial was directed by Peter Cattaneo, Oscar-nominated director of The Full Monty, who has also directed ads for brands including Volkswagen, McDonald’s and The National Lottery.

In the ad, a bereaved wife is taken on a detour on the way to her husband's funeral, passing along a bridge that looks down over his favourite fishing spot, where fellow fisherman bow to pay their respects. The narrator tells us “a funeral is more than just flowers, cars and music”, and at Funeralcare it's about “finding those personal touches”, such as changing the route to prompt a happy memory.

Actress Katherine Kelly provides the voiceover and real-life Funeral Director, Lynsey Ward, from Funeralcare’s Bolton funeral home also stars. The first 40-second commercial will air on ITV and a shorter 30-second execution will also be circulated.

Lorinda Robinson, Head of Marketing, The Co-operative Funeralcare said: “The advert focuses on personalisation and The Co-operative Funeralcare's ability to deliver personal touches to make a funeral more memorable and respectful. The business has been a pioneer in TV advertising in the funeral industry and the new advert highlights how, as the UK's leading Funeral Director, we ensure that every funeral we arrange is completely personal and unique.”

Brief: Co-operative Funeralcare wanted to show that the tiniest touches are important to their business of helping their clients as much as possible. This has been achieved in this script by diverting the hearse to show fishermen standing to show their respect to our heroine's husband.

Denmark has been named the happiest country in the world in several global surveys with the latest by the UN. So it was a remarkable discovery to find the Danish flag hidden in the Coca-Cola logo.

McCann decided to take this discovery to Denmark’s biggest airport where it’s a tradition to welcome people with flags. But not everyone brings one and the welcome is not as big and happy as it could be. That's why McCann created a special poster where people could take flags straight from the logo. This way Coca-Cola gave everyone the chance to create a happy welcome to the world’s happiest country.
