Duffy & Shanley having Xtranormal holidaysRhode Island agency Duffy & Shanley used Xtranormal's text-to-movie software (one of the breakthrough gimmicks of 2009) to create this animated holiday card featuring two agency staffers droning on and on … about what they should do for their holiday card. An incessant laugh-track punctuates the conversation. Ha ha ha! The employees skewer industry trends like crowdsourcing and struggle, Gap-like, with the proper holiday greeting. It goes on so long, and with such stifling stupidity, it's kind of mesmerizing. And best of all, they didn't dress up the staff like the cast of Mad Men. So, in keeping with the spirit of the season: Ho ho ho! —Posted by David Gianatasio |

The 'ridiculous charade' of recording an ad
Few people suffer under the heavy egotistical load of the ad industry quite like the sound engineers who record audio for commercials. They're micromanaged by everyone from the client to the junior copywriter, so it's nice to see them get their revenge in this anonymously produced British video, created with the same Xtranormal text-to-movie software that gave us the bitter robot designer.

Robot designer gets screwed over yet again
A foul-mouthed graphic-designer robot objects to being treated like a talentless, underpaid slave by a brochure-seeking client in this humorous video. But of course, in the end he takes the work, because he's a wanker with no self-respect. The clip was apparently created on a site called Xtranormal, a "text-to-movie" service where you can type in dialogue and watch scenes of cartoon characters (including the robots) reciting it back to you. The Xtranormal logo and tag appear at the end, making it a pretty good ad for the site itself. Via The Denver Egotist. |
