Here it is in all its glory: Nike "Trail Of Destruction (Alter Ego)". And let me tell you, it is one hell of an ad. It is somewhat reminiscent of "Gamebreakers", which is one of my all time favorite Fincher ads. Great photography, impressive sound-design, a cool pay-off at the end...

i had no idea this was a david fincher commercial when i started watching it, and half way through i was saying to myself "this director's style reminds me of david fincher", and then by the end i was saying to myself "wow, that must have been directed by david fincher".. and sure enough... when i looked... it was :)

ReplyDeleteit's damn cool! and i hope that fincher uses emmanuel lubezki as his dp in his next film. their second collaboration, their second stunning work, and they probably get along... one can hope.
ReplyDeleteThe photography also reminds me of the music video Oh Father for Madonna. Kinda Citizen Kanish. ;)
