Trucks, Cadbury’s ad, Agency: Fallon. Director: Juan Cabral. Production company: Blink Productions

The follow-up to the hugely successful Cadbury’s Gorilla ad, from Fallon ad agency, airs on TV later today, but you can watch it here for a sneak preview.

With a soundtrack of Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now, it retains the retro styling of Gorilla, but otherwise slightly lacks the out-and-out weirdness that made the first ad so special. It does perhaps offer a hint of why BA has been having such baggage-handling problems at the new Terminal 5 airport though…

From the Flexifuel ad for Ford by Glassworks

Last night Tate Modern played host to the Escape Awards, the annual ceremony held by the London-based computer graphics and VFX school, Escape Studios, to honour the work of the UK’s best CG talent. Nominees included Framestore CFC, The Mill, MPC and Glassworks with a wide range of work up for each of the eight awards, ranging from student shorts to CG for Doctor Who, Harry Potter and Guinness. Well done to Framestore, who took three of the big trophies – click through for the full results…

Moses Parting the Red Sea, from God’s Eye View, a series of scenes from the Bible re-imagined via Google Earth. All works by The Glue Society, unless otherwise stated

The Glue Society, the company behind God’s Eye View, a series of images that re-imagine key scenes from the Bible as if captured on Google Earth (which caused something of a stir on the CR blog at the end of last year) was ten years old last month. This is their story.

New from AKQA and director Dom Bridges is this excellent spoof of the most expensive ad ever created – Guinness’ Tipping Point. In the remake, lighters, fags, phones, cones, wheelie bins and fridges all contribute to the domino rally, resulting in, no, not a pint of the black stuff, but a warming Pot Noodle. While the action has moved from rural Argentina to two housing estates in Kilburn and Gospel Oak, north London, the self-satisfaction (and no doubt, budget) of the original has also been well and truly left behind. And yes, as with all the cast, the dialogue at the end is that of a “real” person, not an actor. Oh dear Matthew…

Spotted this ad on the telly-box last night. The Sugar Puffs Honey Monster is back and stars in a new ad (created by agency Bray Leino) - in which he is seen making up a whacky rhyme (about eating Sugar Puffs) with some actor who seems to be in every other TV ad at the moment…

Spill some sugar on a table and the urge to dip your finger in and draw is irresistible - or is that just us? Anyway, far nicer than our sticky efforts are four new commercials for Swiss Sugar…
