Nice work for Nike, Skittles, Lynx, Virgin Media and more...

The video above is the first of two new Nike ads from Wieden + Kennedy. This one, for the new CTR 360 boot, stars Barcelona midfield maestro Andrés Iniesta and features immersive surround sound, best experienced via headphones. Directed by Scott Lyon, the film was shot using six cameras mounted together to capture a 360 degree image of the players in action.




The second piece from Nike is a trailer for a new film project from Nike Basketball, which is directed by Robert Rodriguez. Titled The Black Mamba, the film stars Bruce Willis and Kanye West and will be released online on February 19. More info is here.




Skittles returned with another surreal little number this week too, starring two men trapped in giant fists. Agency: TBWA Chiat Day, New York. Director: Ulf Johansson.




BBH in London has released a TV spot for the new Lynx fragrance, Excite. While beautifully shot by Rupert Sanders, the ad's narrative takes the usual Lynx schtick of the deodorant rendering men irresistible to women to new, ridiculous heights as angels drop from the sky to seek out the Lynx wearer. Surely it's time for Lynx to look for a new narrative now. Please?




This new ad for Virgin Media (by DDB London) in turn features a curious remix of a familiar tune, with the lyrics from Madness's Our House set to the Dan Black track, Symphonies. The ad is directed by Seb Edwards and aims to show how the brand makes the world 'a more exciting place to live'.
