zazen Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 found this new Chris Cunningham ad via metafilter also this interesting bit of conversation on metafilter: Why isn't that guy making movies? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Guest grinningcat Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 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!
