Specsavers ad; creatives: Simon Bougourd, Neil Brush; production company: Passion Pictures; director: Darren Walsh
Here's a selection of the great ads, music video and films that have passed through CR Towers lately. First up, Postman Pat stars in the latest Specsavers ad. The ad follows the familiar 'should've gone to Specsavers' storyline, but the attention to detail here can't fail to charm...
Next up is a new short from director Chris Cairns. The film, titled Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Inc, sees scratching taken to a whole new level.
Johnny Walker ad; agency: BBH London; creative: Justin Moore; production company: HLA; director: Jamie Rafn
Director Jamie Rafn has created this impressive one-take film featuring Robert Carlyle for Johnnie Walker.
Next up is a beautiful music video for Ljósið by Ólafur Arnalds, directed by Estaban Diåcono.
Director Jon Watts has shot this dream-like video for Folded Light track Train Tracks At Dawn. Don't try this one at home, folks...
Old Spice ad; agency: Wieden + Kennedy; creatives: Craig Allen, Eric Kallman; production company: MJZ; director: Tom Kuntz
Finally, we end with a witty spot from Wieden + Kennedy for Old Spice, which sees the brand trying to shift its naff image into something cooler through the medium of comedy....

Neurosonics was brilliant.
That Johnny Walker thing isn't an ad BTW -- it's an internal training vid on the company history.

It was good to see some old school postman pat back in action. The reinvented Pat has a microlite and is the head of 'Special Delivery Service' in some metropolis.

I love that so much care and love has been poured into so much silliness.

Jings, my admiiration for the actor's craft has just gone up a few notches.
'The Man Who Walked Around the World' is a credit to Robert Carlyle and director Jamie Rafn. Well done to all involved. Although I usually only drink Malt Whiskies, I'm away out now to buy a bottle of Black label . . .

Carlyle looks like he's reading from boards down in front of him half the time. Kind of spoils the effect a bit. Prefer the Barclay's ads with Samuel L Jackson that this obviously draws from.

what a great selection! The Jon Wattas video is just perfect plus who couldnt love a bit of the Scratch Perverts doing what they do best.
