    Heh, fantastic.

    For the first time in my life, I replayed an advert.

    A good case as to why more short filmmakers should be employed by the ad industry, rather than copywriters.

    At what point did people get it was ‘The Wind’? I got it at the messing-up-the-hair scene and the rest was very enjoyable.

    Just lovely.

    Beautiful.

    That was very very good. Although perhaps they shouldn’t have featured the model wind turbine over his shoulder right from the start. That tipped it off for me. Perhaps instead it edging into a steadily widening frame each time they cut back to Monsieur Wind. But beautifully set up and delivered to turn a problem into a solution. And inspired casting too.

    “A good case as to why more short filmmakers should be employed by the ad industry, rather than copywriters.”

    Or perhaps more copywriters injecting some narrative and conceptual discipline into short films?

    Tony Abbott may have a post-politics career, after all.

    Lovely, very lovely, though the subtext (wind power is being sold by irritating sociopaths!) is bizarre.

  8. Evan

    That ad’s a corker.

    Is ‘very lovely’ grammatically correct? Is it like saying ‘very perfect’?

    Ah, when the words “The Wind” appeared on screen. Just a second or so after that. ;-) Loved it.

    Beautiful!

    Anyone know any short film makers who could do a similar job on solar for Aus???

  12. FDB

    Fucking marvellous.

    “Or perhaps more copywriters injecting some narrative and conceptual discipline into short films?”

    Why just short ones? ;)

    As to Monsieur Abbott & his post politics career – no no no – it requires one who can be sincere & convincing.

  14. Katz

    I just thought that Mr Abbott would look good wearing that hat.

  15. morganzola

    Ditto with Alan. And everybody else.

    Bewdiful.

    ok, I’m a thickie – my money was on it being a mac advert suggesting that the irritations of windows are not as accidental as one might think
