Here’s the ad:

I had assumed that they’d be spelling out HONDA as a word, not letter by letter, although thats still pretty difficult - so that was a bit of a dissapointment.

Either way its a brilliant ad, and brilliant skydiving, it’s really not easy - especially with all the added pressure of timings and performing live.

The quality of filming looked pretty standard for normal skydiving camera equipment. Despite the fact it was live, it just looked like any other skydiving video - with shitty weather. Expecting a lot more filmic quality from the rest of the ads.

Oh, and the ‘hello mum’ on the camera flyer’s gloves, brilliant.

OOOhh. Exciting.

According to scamp there will be a live Honda skydiving ad airing tonight. It wont be the main one, but a spelling out of the honda logo.

I imagine this will require 20-30 people. It will be a hard dive, especially with the added pressure of going out live.

It’s cool that it will be live, because it might (and has a pretty good chance) of fucking up… what if the weather goes bad?

Despite this, I probably wont watch it live, because it will be on pootube tomorrow. Either way, exciting :-)

Earlier coverage

Who is just the right amount of old enough and young enough to remember ‘It’ll never work’?

“Each week, presenters find out about a selection of wacky and interesting new inventions - some that work, some that don’t - from all corners of the globe.”

What a brilliant program, I also had a big crush on that lovely Scottish presenting lady Sally Gray.

Why am I writing about this?

Well, on thursday night I was having a pint of lovely beer in the Prince Arthur by Euston station. Who should also be there? Yes, you guessed it, Sally… sitting right by us, in the flesh.

Wonderful. I even got a picture.. She even said shindogu.

Tim got a picture too, he was a little star-struck.

Put this show back on telly and I guarantee that the economy will make an about-turn, and young people will stop poking at eachother with knives.

This week I’ve been naughty.

I ate lots of things that were naughty.

I feel a bit like a big fat biffer, who has man boobs (moobs).

On Monday I had a curry in brick lane, the poppadom was a bit stale and the chicken a bit dry. After this debacle, you can just imagine my delight when I found this dessert, in the dessert menu, that looked just like a tuppence.

Another great pic for my ‘rude food’ set on Flickr, and yet another poignant reminder just how much of a silly little boy I am.

Last night I went for some birthday drinks with my pal Duncan. You can see him in this very photograph, trying to eat Donkey’s ear. You know Donkey, he stands on Goodge St, and has recently gained widespread online notoriety through Scamp blog.

Anyway, back to food, the donkey went and got me a burrito and delivered it back to the very pub I was loitering outside.

I was very hungry, It was very tasty and I was very grateful. Thanks Donkey!

Wen’t to see this exhibition by designer / illustrator James Joyce at the Kemistry gallery. It was called ‘Drawing and Other Objects’ and it was lovely. The pictures really don’t do justice to the depth and richness of the colours. They are all really stunning.

I’m going to buy one. I’m not sure which one yet, they are all rather tasty.

I went to see this.

You should too.

Blurry photos. Hmmm, the iPhone really does have a shit camera.

Yours, Mr. Blurrycam.

Funny how the same ideas sometimes pop out at the same time.

Obviously everyone’s seen the Drench one, but then I saw this Specsavers spot during the same ad-break.

Specsavers:

Drench:

Seems that now he’s even being blamed for todays signalling problems at bletchley and northampton.

I made this game literally 5 years ago and had more or less forgotten about it. It was originally made for a kiosk games company. They went bust.

Anyway, I got an email the other week from someone I used to work with saying that the wrigleys candystand portal wanted to buy it. No complaints here! Have a go, Its even got a little blog widget:

Stack-it!

Feel your pulse quicken as you align the shapes for a perfect fit.

This is a nice little site indeed. Creative zone, brought to you by our friends at eyeblaster.

I think they’ll use it to showcase what can be done with the eyeblaster technology, then we’ll have bannerblog to showcase all the lovely ideas.

One of the nicer things I did at Geronimo has found its way on there:

Have a look. It seems to have been rated quite highly, that makes me feel warm inside, and you should too.

These ads make me giggle on so many levels.

:-)
