AREVA Funkytown Commercial

[flightdeckreviews]

I LOVE the art work how was this done?

[Gaiacarra]

@flightdeckreviews 3D modelling and animation software, most likely.

[Sebizzar]

Yay i ALWAYS remember this commercial now since it aired cause i was like "omg i haven't heard Funkytown in a long time" ahaha

[imanerd36]

It's a great commercial(and very informative) but they stole the idea from Röyksopp.

[ObsidianParis]

@imanerd36 They didn't steal anything, they hired the same studio: h5.fr

If you go step by step they show how they search for uranium ore, make it safe to transport(gassify it), transport it, degassify(condense the uranium), take the yellow cake(Condensate), refine it, turn it into fuel pellets, use those to build fuel rods that power nuclear plants, and then distribute the power. Apparently they(Areva) manage either part or all of that process.

What are they trying to convey in this commercial? My brother and I have been attempting to understand this cryptic Canadian code for quite a while now but to no avail.

[JacobPaige]

its explained in the vid description.

[TechnologyGod]

They are showing each step of the nuclear fuel management process.

china is pure energy, they just copy whatever US and EU manufacture without any improvement and then they sell us their poor products and earn our money

Finally someone posted this dumbed-down U.S. version (shorter & fewer graphics/info boxes/words; like, U.S. can't handle more detail?---hmmm, maybe not). Watch MSNBC (Rachel Maddow Show), they'll play 4sure (2 or 3 times!).

Canadian, idiot. Commercials in Canada (and the U.S.) have to fit in a 30 second slot. Weak slam dude.

[jigen08]

Hey, don't call him an idiot, you're being unkind. Look at :27... Even if you're in the US (and suffer from US geography "education"), you should recognize that country. It's not Canada.

[JacobPaige]

feel free to insult apollogroove, but please refrain from insulting an entire country for the sake of one idiot :/

[supportthenerd]

@JacobPaige Japan Liked it

[jigen08]

It is strange how the Chinese nightclub has been put into Kansas, isn't it? It doesn't really work, does it?

[patsw1]

Awesome, superb, communication of a complex process that might be intimidating, excellent music in the background

[MadSkiIIs]

Easily one of the most creative & well-made commercials I've seen in years.  Nicely done!

[JacobPaige]

I'm pretty sure the Remind Me official vid came before this, making this commercial a total rip off of it.

ofc, that just means its unoriginal, not that its poorly made.

@JacobPaige Made by the same animators
