Why isn't that guy making movies?

  dersins said:

Shooting movies is really hard work and can take months, with (comparatively) low compensation considering how many working days are invested in the process. Directing commercials and music videos takes comparatively little time (most are shot in one day), and pays very, very well. Top commercial directors make upward of $100,000 / shooting day, and about half that for each prep and post day.

i hadn't thought of that before

lol

Looks like he was stretching out the time he had to fill by repeating the swirling flower wind twice... also reminds me of the Playstation 3 game, Flower.

reminds me of the dance sequence in "Legend". doppe

Its pretty fucking sick

Nice find! Really reminds me of the Telecom Italia advert he did with the unreleased BOC diddy.

looks like 1 days work

as always with the guy,

It's a 60 second television ad for perfume. Edward Bernays would be very proud of Cunningham, and so am I.

it has nothing to do with the fact it's an ad. i know very good ads that are shorter and have something to say.

i mean, what's the message here? a model witch is masturbating with the wind she controls thanks to what? a fucking bottle of perfume. wtf?

it's okay, but, yeah, you can definitely tell it's a perfume advert

you're right it makes no logical sense. she's a cylon and she's 'projecting'

I think marketing is a career you should avoid. :kiss:

perfume has a clear meaning eh

or is it meant to evoke something

or something... ugh

I hear that he also directs music videos.

videos? for music?

surely you jest.

it seems i'm right though

i perfume ad doesn't need to tell a story

You guys are ignorant

[/mj]

2.3/10

there's a point she looks like shiva

oh, and boc soundtrack lol

Nice ad, great I Feel Love remix!

i like it

love the thought of some clever spark in the gucci advertising department trying to convince all the other gucci people that chris cunningham is the right man for this job, by showing them rubber johnny etc.

how the hell did he land this!
