*LOVE this*

I have seen this commercial countless times and EVERY time I see it, I’m MORE convinced that it’s the BEST COMMERCIAL that I have EVER seen. I’m a TOTAL cinematography NUT and so I’m DRAWN, in bug like fashion, to anything that is filmed beautifully!! I LOVE the processing, scene sequence, cinematography, tonality, perspective, subject matter….and just OVERALL coolness of this commercial!! If only there wasn’t a cheesy diamond ad at the end of it!! HA!!! I also LOVE this song (What are you doing the rest of your life) and have for a long time…but I am more partial to the CHRIS BOTTI version, although props to Dusty Springfield for creating the original version. When I said I look for inspiration in ANYTHING, THIS is what I meant….

I LOVE these TOO!!! In fact, there was one around Christmas time with the song “How Can I Tell You” by some chick who I cannot remember at this moment (Cat Stevens sang the original). It was captivating as is this one.

Speaking of watching things inspiring, have any of you been watching Planet Earth on Discovery HD? It’s absolutely amazing!!!
When I first heard it took 5 years to shoot I thought WHAT THE HECK? But now that I’ve seen some of it, WOW!!!

I thought I was the only one drawn to this commercial. I hear the music I am drawn to the TV from great distances to stop and gaze. GREAT stuff! And you are right very inspirational!

This is my favorite commercial too! Ditto on the processing! I was so inspired by it that I created an image with a similar look. You can see it here. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=463096889&size=o
Everytime that commercial comes on, I stop and watch it too.
