Finalist YouTube Video Ad
Jenny Stiven, producer; Chad Kula, creative director; Bryna Smith, animation
If you're going to grab anyone's attention in an online video advertisement,
for God's sake at least be quick about it. That's exactly what kulavortex.com did in its video, "28 Seconds Later," to promote the dvd release of the zombie horror sequel 28 Weeks Later. (And yes,
we know it technically runs for 34 seconds, but five of them are spent on the title frame.) The charming animated clip depicts a murderous zombie clown stumbling into a child's birthday party. All
it takes is some projectile-vomited zombie blood, and the kids forgo cake for cannibalism instead. You can call it all kinds of things, but you can't call it boring - exactly what a proper YouTube
ad shouldn't be.
