Haven't been here for some time, but as I'm about to get back in the game thought I'd come along and be inspired. Good first ad to watch.

AP's being a bit silly all over the place at the moment.

Some people might say AP stands for Associated Prats. I wouldn't, you understand, but some people might.

I wanted to use a zoetrope on a commercial for a well-known German car manufacturer a couple of years back, but everyone said they were passé (zoetropes, not the car maker). Oh well, looks like I was just ahead of the times. :)
