Born to rock
It's long. Way too long in fact. But this is a beautiful little video vignette.
There are just so many clever little details. From the baby giving the devil's horns hand gesture tthrough to the the guy turning the lights on and off in the jamming scene at the end.
Rock on AMV London!

You are right, the little details are great but then they miss something like the baby's umbilical cord?!?!?
I would ahve missed the devil horns without reading your blog because my first reaction was "baa ha ha ha how clean is that baby! Oh hang on, no umbilical cord? WTF?"
clean baby and missing umbilical chord? are you for real? daniel, you probably shouldn't watch any horror films - you'll hate the lack of accuracy about blood spatter. and romance comedies - you shouldn't watch them either - the lack of saliva and stubble trouble in all the kisses will drive you nuts. oh, and cosmo? don't read that - most of the boobs aren't real there either.
sorry - i'm being snipey. bad lauren.
i loved this little film. i loved that the doritos connection wasn't until right at the end and wasn't smashing me over the head with brand-ness. it did help that i've met 'alan' IRL and he's a super-awesome dude. but i still loved it anyway - it's like a sponsored rock opera for the gen x slackers.
Oyster. Dude.
@lauren @zac, ok maybe that was a bit weird but after I read Stan's coment about the details and then saw such an out of place shot I thought it was a bit weird.
I mean, come on ... the thing looked like it had just been pulled out of the washing machine! It just wrecked the flow of the story/song for me. It just caught me off guard :)
But I loved the rest of the ad. Really cool and I was bopping along at the end!
PS - @lauren, I have to watch romantic comedies ... Mrs Oyster makes me :)
Forget the umbilical cord, the baby is about 3 months old at birth!
You guys are forgetting that it's as well written and directed as the best comedy on British TV. Rare brilliance.
this actually makes me kind of sad. the guy is a failure lacking the redeeming values of napoleon dynamite, who the creatives seem to have been challenging. there is no payoff for him in the end and that's a letdown after we've rooted for him for north of four minutes. he is still kind of pathetic. there needs to be at least some hope for him -- i.e. as he's playing someone needs to hear it, discover him. at least something that makes us hope he'll have a better future.
I also don't get the living room scene. people don't enjoy other people having fun, be it playing a computer game or not. they want to participate. only in the parallel universe of adland do they ever behave like this.
those were my larger peeves. here's a smaller one: how on earth does he afford all those kickin' outfits? that leather jacket must have cost his annual salary.
