Abba to Zappa

Saturday, 30 December 2006

I like ads. Sometimes I hear people complaining about too many ads interrupting a show or a movie on television, but for me it is the other way around: i wish there was a channel that would broadcast ads only for 24 hours a day nonstop!
On my quest for ABBA-rarities (let me tell tou, never agree to do something like this ABBA-project, about which I will tell the details later; what a boring band was that!)I stumbled upon a ad that was made for a special edition of The Observer: Abba to Zappa.

To say it in modern language: this video is awesome! Just think of what it takes to make this 60 second clip. People have to write a script, draw the cartoons, make the animations, mix a soundtrack, etc. I have no idea how many man-hours were put in this little masterwork, but from my understanding there have been several people working very hard for many days to enrich our life with this ad. I mean, we do agree that stuff like this make our lifes more worth living, don´t we? And if it wasn´t for YouTube I would probably have never seen it, because I don´t like all these programs in between the television-ads.
