Anyone seen the new Mini Advert?

[Littlerich]

It starts with a guy sitting in the car eating his hat...

I saw it last night and thought it was as funny as heck!

I like the "New Mini" Adverts, they're quick, memorable and funny!

What does anyone else think?

[twister!]

That's an old one (isn't it? to clarify the one where a young girl says she likes old balding men who drive minis) - I thought it was weak, extremely contrived and the worst mini ad of the bunch. But it's still better than a LOT of ads out there at the moment.

The 'new one' is where two old naked people drive along a country road and slap an old naked jogger on the ass with a fish.

I think the one which is 'Mini attempts to jump over the next advert' is VERY clever and original.

You may be right... I am tlaking about the girl / bald man advert.

I've not seen TV (ANY Tv) in a while... Last night I was round a mates and he had the TV on, so I saw a bit of it.

However, my next question is:

I've got an idea for a series of adverts. They are non-product specific, but I wanna shoot them and get a company to pay for the production of the adverts?

Or would I approach a company with storyboards, ect, and get them to put the money to shoot the advert?

Or does a company come up with the ideas then approach a production company to make the advert?

The company goes to an advertising agency with probably nothing more than a vague idea and the ad agency then come up with a few scripts. If the company is happy, a director is found and the production company the director is with make the advert. It can obviously be a bit more comlicated than that but that's basically what happens.

Quite old (few months) but stunning.

Really shows old QT how to shoot out of sequence
