Sorry if its been posted before... but check this out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that really scared me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally wicked! nice song aswell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you know who did that commercial? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is this that ghost commercial again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. it's a breakdance version of Gene Kelly singing in the rain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, its a car commercial with gene kelly singing "singing in the rain"... but remixed. youll see. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh my god that was so fucking awesome! it's all CGI once it's remixed though, right? God, I wish those moves could be real. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think they removed Gene Kelly digitally, then bluescreened a breakdancer over the empty set, then super imposed Gene Kelly's face back on the dancer. That's my guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that could be... it was hot as hell seeing a honky white guy like gene kelly doing those moves, pity they didn't just raise him from the dead and get him to do the commercial himself... I hear rigor mortis + breakdance = best Robot moves ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think this could be... yep it's my favorite car commercial ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that doesn't play with quicktime alternative :-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's qt alternative? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but seriously you should try to get regular quicktime or something else that plays .mov files because this commercial rocks! zeus: thanks for the link |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god damnit I want a full version of that song too!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i need to learn how to do that dive and roll move. that's pretty sweet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need to learn how to do all those moves... hey, does anyone remember that vid of the kid dancing to hasty boom alert? He does some similar style robot moves in that; I want to watch it again now after seeing this. Plus, good dancing to good electronica rocks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

qt alternative is the codecs and stuff for windows, lets you play quicktime files without needing quicktime. took your word for it though, and copied it to my mac. heh, it's neat, nice. see, bits of idm /are/ starting to infiltrate and influence modern music - and if it reuslts in stuff like this, that's rad. i realise that idm has been used often as background music and the like, but that's not the case here :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
didn't peewee herman do that sort of move when he wrecked his bike in front of the bmx kids at the end of big adventure? that was triumphant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(arguably this isn't idm though, but likely was influenced by it - whatever idm is.). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
peewee herman was one of gene kelly's biggest influences. true. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FACT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but that's strange, because I seem to have qt alternative myself, as I have a PC and the movie played right in the IE browser without opening up a quicktime frontend... so I dunno what problem you're experiencing but I'm glad you had a mac to watch it on too. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the quicktime plugin will do that, that's probably what you have. qt alternative will install that too, but let you open it in applications such as winamp, media player, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that track is fucking awsome. I wish I could have that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good to know. ;D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, totally. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"(arguably this isn't idm though, but likely was influenced by it - whatever idm is.)" besides, IDM is essentially boundless in it's definition now... or maybe it never really meant anything anyway... but I think if it has a synth in it and it was made on a computer, it's IDM. That's why I don't really like the term much. |

I did some googling and I found The song which accompanies it is a remix of the original, created by dance music duo Mint Royale. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've also read somewhere else they would release it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome, good work sleuth! :) I hope it's released soon... you know, by sometime this afternoon if all goes well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
saw this over at watmm - it's an amazing ad - -loveitloveitloveit. those look like some of Dave Elsewhere's moves. the guy's a genius (don't know who the other dancers are): |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seems kind of wrong and i don't like it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is great when an iconic film moment is fused with the new hip urban sport of breakdancing and used in a non cynical way to sell motor cars. It is what both Gene Kelly and the original poppers and hiphop pioneers would have wanted. Well done, Volkswagen! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was gay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You covered for Shane admirably there, Jason |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thank you, thank you.. i do what i can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck you commie shitbags, it's entertaining so don't think so hard about it you lentil salad eating hemp shirt wearing hairy armpit benders. If it bothers you every time memorable moments are referenced you might as well choke on your dreadlocks, you bearded bolshevik sandal wearing loony. No offence |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rather than being a kneejerker who sees the image of Gene Kelly's face plastered onto someone else's body and being made to do fashionable dances to a fashionably modern remix of Singin' in the Rain before selling their car, and thinking it's cool and amazing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was a very nicely done commercial. good concept and really good execution. it'll probably run during the superbowl, and if it's not one of the best comercials i'll be pleasantly surprised. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well apart from the kneejerker part, that's exactly right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Umm yeah FUCKING REPOST WTF?! I might as well not fucking post on this board nobody reads my goddamn threads anyhow fuck off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your topic was 43 topics after this one and this commercial sucks the superbowl sucks because of commercials |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that must be david elsewhere in some of the shots. i wish i could move like dat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, but i found this pretty sad. rewriting history, drudging up the dead for the singular purpose of selling cars. that's soulless shit.. this is manufactured cool. i don't understand why (almost) everyone seems to love this. it's really disrespectful in my eyes. what's next, gandhi doing ads for mcdonalds? john lennon selling mutual funds? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"what's next, gandhi doing ads for mcdonalds? john lennon selling mutual funds?" yeah, now that I think about it, that ad really crosses some moral lines.. I wonder how they got the rights to his "body."' I wonder what gene kelly would say about the golf gti.. he'd probably hate it hahaha. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it is pretty sad that it's used for a car commercial. but I really like how they did it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
