Spy Films for Snickers When I first started watching this spot, created over at Spy Films, I was afraid it was going to be a typical CG smash-n-dazzle with no real point other than “man, that looked sweeeet”. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this isn’t the case and that the twist is pretty darn clever. That, and man it looks sweeeet. \|Full-res version\| \|YouTube mirror\| Credits: Agency: BBDO Moscow, Russia Director: Alex & Steffen DOP: Maher Maleh Production Company: Spy Films, Toronto, Canada Executive Producer: Carlo Trulli Postproduction: Unexpected GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany VFX Supervisor: Alex & Steffen Posted on 6 December 2007 by John This entry was posted on Thursday, December 6th, 2007 at 8:38 pm.

The whole “slide transform into human and back” thing reminds me of something I’ve seen before, can’t remember what tho:p Again, good stuff!

This is a native war dance performed by the maori tribes before battle, or as a welcome. This one in particular is usually performed before a Rugby game played by the famous ‘All Blacks’ which your might have heard of. Weird, cause it’s far removed from Russia….?
