Taking a Ride on The Roller Coaster of Life Posted by Justin Cone This new VW Touran ad is chock full of clever details and fun transitions. (I wish the people responsible for the Regal Cinemas roller coaster animation would have seen this before creating that abomination.) Conceptually, it’s similar to the Goldfrapp “Twist” video from a few years back, but being a commercial for a car and not a music video for a super-sexy diva, the Touran spot has a slightly different goal in mind. The spot was directed by H5 with 3D work by Mikros Image for Agence V. Thanks to Seth for the tip.

I feel cheated somehow. Oh well, it was probably just the client saying to H5, “You remember that Goldfrapp video you guys did? Yeah, we want that. Except we don’t want it to be about sex. We want it to be about a minivan.” And then, sighing heavily, H5 probably said, “Sure. No problem.” Sometimes, that’s all you can do.

Those Regal Cinemas type spots are going to be the next hot thing. It’s only a matter of time. Something that awful is a goldmine for parody/hijacking UN:F [1.7.3_972] Rating: 0 (from 0 votes) Log in to Reply Comment by mark: Monday, November 27th 2006 at 1:36 pm \| This is a fun spot. But in all fairness to Regal Cinemas, they only paid for that horrible roller-coaster, the spot was built by Cinema Concepts.
