Polar Bear from Plane Stupid on Vimeo.

This very graphic ad for PlaneStupid, an advocacy group against aviation expansion, was written and commissioned by Mother and produced by Rattling Stick.

The above commercial is a real commercial made for Cullman Liquidation Center in Cullman, Alabama. The commercial was made in part by MicroBilt Corporation — a company devoted to helping small businesses see profit — and videographers Rhett and Link who collectively run I Love Local Commercials.

If you would like to nominate a local business for a free commercial by Rhett and Link, head on over to I Love Local Commercials and put the good word in!

Check out the video below to see how the commercial was made.

AICP Southwest Sponsor Reel by Corgan Media Lab from Corgan Media Lab on Vimeo.

Corgan MediaLab created this beautiful sponsor reel free of charge for the Association of Independent Commercial Producers Southwest Awards. I’ve seriously never seen sponsor logos so well presented or displayed. If all sponsor ads looked like this, I wouldn’t mind watching these all day long.
