  • Coupe Farts. Everyone Listens.

    May 21st, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Recently, Boulder’s Coupe Studios challenged Egotist readers to pose sound questions via Twitter in preparation for their new “Ideas. Amplified.” campaign from gyro’s Denver office. The crowd-sourcing initiative launches today (you'll see it over there on the right) and features original animated soundscapes by Coupe, animated visuals by gyro AD and resident doodle maestro, Rob Lewis, and questions submitted by Egotist readers. Writer Ricky Lambert and ECD Cameron Day pitched in on the concept, along with Coupe’s multi-faceted sound designers and composers. Credit for the twittered questions appear in each banner. Tweet your question today for consideration in future banners — the weirder, the better.

    More political adness featuring creepy humanimals. As if inside-the-beltway posturing weren't gross enough.

  • You're not from around here, are you?

    Carton Donofrio Partners' newest installment in its "That's not Good" campaign for Sprint/Shentel. As with previous spots in the series, gratuitous dead-pan is par for the course.

    Man, if we could only sit in on some of those casting sessions. "Reaction auditions" are always so delightfully awkward.

    Speaking of the campaign: Honey Surgeon don't give a shit; March Dadness.

  • Go, fish!

    New work fromMGH for the National Aquarium manages to avoid the animal VO cliche that countless zoohouses and fishporiums fall prey to. Touchy feely, yes. But not in the throw-up-in-your-mouth sense.

    Other fish tales: Cousteau's lazy-ass cousin; tunamation.
