Thanks to Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Anonymous Content and Digital Domain, Orville Redenbacher lives again. Although perhaps they should have let him rest in peace, considering the creepy effect of digitally recreating the popcorn maestro. Perhaps the technology to bring back the dead is nearly here, but after seeing this piece of work, we might want to hold off on bringing back Dave in Wendy's ads or The Colonel for KFC.

OK, so my 2¢:
1. The ad sucks. If they were attempting to create a post-modern commentary on the stupidity of the original ads, then it doesn't suck, it just doesn't work.
2. The CG is shitty. I'll venture to guess the client's budget did line up with the creative's expectations.
3. What was Orville rocking on the iPod? The Hold Steady? Or Perry Como?
4. CG Orville? You're no BK King.

PermalinkEmbarassingly horrible.
Anyone seen the Gilliam film Tideland? Reminds me of it.
I feel much better about myself knowing that Crispin can do the shitttiest of shit work now and again.
I must go now and pour some turpentine in my eyes to cleanse my palate.

Permalinkthat's weird - i made another comment after having clicked on the story and now it's "inside" the story rather than with these comments.

Permalink..hang on, is that a bug? *bughunting goggles still on* - No .. wait, I know what happened, you made another comment after viewing the ad, right? Yeah that comments goes under the ad instead. The ad and the newsy-bit are treated by the database as two diferent 'stories', so they have different comment sections as well.
