Sussex Safer Roads: “Embrace Life/Always Wear Your Seatbelt”

Okay, is it just me, or is this one unfriggin-believably emotionally impactful?
You start off not knowing what’s going on… which is exactly what draws you in further and further. And then it just packs a wallop. Now, here’s the thing… I’ve got no inside info, and don’t actually know what they spent, but… one room + no sound/no mics needed + sountrack = a great ad for what must’ve been a very reasonable budget. Great idea, great editing = didn’t need a zillion dollars worth of special effects.

Woah. That actually brought tears to my eyes. Probably comes with having a family of my own these days.
Also makes me proud that I always always wear my seat belt.
Good find.
I hear ya! Got a wife and daughter myself, and it’s hard to watch that one without misting up…
I’ve watched it like 10 times. This “pretend” car crash video is so much more powerful than any real footage you would see.
This is an amazing advertisement. It says so much more than a bloody body flying through a windshield ever could. It also addresses the human factor of what happens to family members affected by careless accidents.
WOW!!! SURE HITS YOU WHERE IT COUNTS! RIGHT IN THE HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For me this is the best commercial ever made.
It has everything … captures attention, it has visual beauty, it has emotion, it has simplicity and certainly sends a message.
Congratulations to the creators!
I saw this and was in tears. My oldest son died in a one car accident in Dec. ’09. It is a powerful message.
I have seen this add many times and I must say best add ever made. Expressions, emotions and message conveyed are simply outstanding. Great work done.
Salute to the creators.
Wow. Just wow.
I love good ad.s – This one is brilliant!
not sure where else to put suggestions, but this is one of my favourite ads lately:

not crazy funny, but the video!!!
With 14 million+ hits on YouTube, and countless positive comments from all around the world, there is nothing I can add, except,–Unique and wonderful.
Simple but Powerful, We don’t need big budgets to make amazing ads
Just a simple clever Idea…
Touching and into my heart,having lost my dearest brothers in road crash
Incredible advertisement, very rarely do you see ones as good as this.
Are you capable of guide myself on your web marketer or perhaps the dude which deals with your website, I must determine if it would be easy to be considered a invitee poster.
Aw, this was a very good post. Taking the time and actual
effort to produce a really good article… but what can
I say… I put things off a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again.
Anyways, just wanted to say great blog!
You are so cool! I don’t suppose I have read anything like this before. So great to find someone with original thoughts on this topic. Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This web site is something that’s needed on
the web, someone with a little originality!
