HSBC: Lumberjack

0:34 - ish, policeman getting merked by a bear!

this was very unfortunate shoot, one actress lost her finger tip on set (
I PA'd on it.

Great Commercial !

I don't get this commercial and I get alot of crazy stuff.

Forget how bad a rap banks have gotten, I can't imagine how the most ecleteic media buff cold watch this commercial and draw anything.

Although the wrestling of the bear made it all worth it.

What the hell did I just watch? :|

HAHAHAHA
that made me laugh, but still
shame on you for disrespecting Joanna Newsom =P
thumbs up anyway for making me laugh =D

the point of this commercial wasn't to portray loggers or the cops as 'bad guys', but to show that they are all human. the relationship between the lumberjack and the environmentalist was to show that they were capable of seeing past differences in order to live together and having a postive relationship, they don't have to agree with everything to get along (even stuff that is important to them). i think the logger/tree-hugger relationship was supposed to equal a banker/customer relationship.

i don't think it's the most effective because a relationship between these two is obviously way more complex than that with a bank. it's a touching story nonetheless and Joanna Newsom is amazing...though I find this version of Clam, Cockle, Cowrie terrible in comparison to the Ys Street Band EP one.
