Silhouettes
Directed by Dave Meyers
Insight
When it comes to tech it's easy to think that the more is better, but simplicity wins.
Idea
Show music joy in its purest, simplest form.
Execution
A film that shows silhouetted dancers with iPods, celebrating effortless connection to music, highlighting how effortlessly the product fits into your life.
Notes
Apple does things so differently. There isn't really a narrative here, but the way this is executed with such arrogant simplicity is iconic. It treats the iPod as a brand. Everyone knows this ad and anyone who saw it just had to have those white earphones sticking out of their head.
