You can do it, we can help. Home Depot It’s Time commercial exclusively made for Beijing Olympics 2008, if not extraordinary and bigger than life, is modest and overwhelming at its best. This slice of life kind of Home Depot television ad is announcing first outdoor collection Thomasville furniture.
Nothing extraordinary but surely will help will remember the fact that Home Depot has tied up with Thomasville. Why should they spend a fortune otherwise.
Jackie Chan featuring in Visa commercial is funny no doubt. In this Beijing Olympics 2008 ad Jackie Chan plays for the stuff he is always famous for. He makes a mess out of everything, be it ping pong (table tennis…haha Chinese style), basketball, soccer, you name it, little Jackie screws up everything. He may jump from a fifth floor after smashing the glass window but will always land on something soft.
2008 China Olympics Visa Credit Card Commercial completely goes by Jackie characteristics, you will love it, irrespective of whether you are his fan or not.
This time lil Jackie got excited after seeing a big Yao Ming Olympic advertisement. And the rest is….well….incredible.
Independent Wieden + Kennedy launches an ambitious multi-spot campaign for Nike during tonight’s Olympics opening ceremony.
Nike has unveiled its much-anticipated “We Have Softball” commercial on 2008 Olympics opening ceremony and wins millions of hearts at one go. The soft ball ad has amazingly melodious Donna Fargo’s ’70s country hit “Happiest Girl in the Whole USA” and a montage of girls on a sandlot and adult Olympic athletes playing softball.
At the end of the ad a defiant title card reads: “We have softball…You can have everything else,” and the TV advertisement ends with Just Do It logo.
In “A Dream Deferred,” actor Danny Glover recites the stirring Langston Hughes poem and runner Sanya Richards is shown with her family, fans and coach Clyde Hart. The spot ends with Richards, who battled back from a rare disease to compete in the games this year, tearing down the track as Glover speaks the poem’s final “explosive” line.
“A New Team” features a performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Marvin Gaye from the NBA Playoffs in 1983. His passionate effort provides the soundtrack for footage of current U.S. team members and nostalgic shots of stars such as Michael Jordan in their Olympics “Dream Team” years. The spot ends with players arms raised in unity.
Versions of the spots range from 30-seconds to 2 minutes-plus.
