I remember seeing something a lot like this before. Different car, same sort of thing.

I mentioned this cool advert on IRC and was told it was a rip off of some guy called Michael Smith's work. I hadn't heard of this mpeg produced by the afore mentioned person before, but I've provided a link bellow.

PS: I used to love Transformers when it was on TV.

Maybe it's not a rip off and they commissioned Michael Smith to do the advert?

C'mon, Odin, you can do better than that..

Anybody know what software was used for this?
I guess it's been discussed in 3D World magazine, but I don't buy it any longer.
Looks like one for Stellar Dreams!
Cheers,

Ah yes. THAT was the one.

It's a cool ad, but it doesn't make me want to buy a citroen, so it probably isn't a good ad. A citroen C4 is basically a fairly standard small city car. I'd buy it for its fuel economy and its low tax, but not because an advert showed me a dancing robot.

@speel:
I got you, actually I was commenting on the actual content of your message ;-).
But er...are Citroëns still made of crappy plastic nowdays? Does the interior still fall apart at the first speedbump you jump over?

Yes, but you'll always remember the Citroen C4 now.
And that is what advertising is all about. :-)

True. :)
Fortunately for marketing and commercialism 99% of people aren't like me and don't buy things picked for spec. If I was looking for a car (and I'm not), I'd pick one that I needed and could do what I was looking for. i.e. not costing a fortune to run or looking like a Soviet era castoff.

I saw this at my mum's house, it creeps me out.
Punk sis has an older Citroen, it's a decent enough car.
And finally. My friend I'll be staying with in Kansas (if all goes according to plan) said she wants to get an SUV. How to say, in more polite terms, "there's no f**king way I'm getting in that!"? :-D

Personally I can't stand Cirtoen's, but the ad, IMO, is quite well done.

Say to her that everyone has already a SUV, that she can better get a pink Fiat x1/9 1300 cabriolet :lol:

Nice advert, but a dancing transformer Citroen doesn't make me want to buy one. There's no hidden message other than "buy one of these kids, it's funky" which is as patronising an advertising message as I could possibly encounter.
The Honda Accord commercial at least had a message about the car's engineering, VW adverts always used to be witty (remember the one with an old Golf GTi being beaten from the lights by an Astra GTE? The advert openly admitted that the Golf wasn't the fastest 0-60 in it's class, but beat the competition in every other way).

Mention the fact they they're bought by people who are either extremely vertically challenged, have incredibly tiny penises, buy well padded wonderbras (occasionally all three) and have a chip on their shoulder as a result, so they're going to intimidate the hell out of everyone else on the road to make them feel better.

Yea, maybe, but you just can't beat the great commanding view of the road they give you :-)

She has an old Volvo right now. I like Volvos. But apparently it's falling apart, so... :-)
