TV ad made with ‘recycled’ film clips

Posted on 24. Jan, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Branding

EDF is a British energy supplier that took the concept of recycling to heart in the production of their latest television commercial and made the thing from old recycled clips which they stole from YouTube [naah - their intentions must have been all good].

The ad uses "recycled" film clips from the Wombles, Thunderbirds and
John F Kennedy. The soundtrack is an adapted version of Sesame Street
song "It’s Not Easy Being Green".

Nice idea – there’s enough old stock footage out there for thousands of other marketing departments to do exactly the same thing.
