Bud Light’s kicks off the next evolution of the “Up For Whatever” campaign with a 90 second Super Bowl spot that takes an unsuspecting (REAL) person and his friends out of a bar and drops them directly into a life size PacMan arcade game.
Directed by Frederik Bond the spot was shot with over 45 cameras capturing continuous live content. Game play was fully functional and was built with custom technology from the creator of Wiziwig. The game play was based off infrared, AMX and LED beacon technology that integrated audio, video and lighting into one system.
The set was the size of an NFL Football field. While the game itself secured a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records for the largest working Pac Man Game built. (almost twice the size of a NBA Basketball Court).
This is not another cooking spot but rather an emotional journey through the kitchen laced with visual poetics that illuminate a diverse range of intimate feelings.

By juxtaposing intimate and spontaneous moments of life alongside its cooking counterpart, we'll experience an elevated sense of feeling: a visceral and emotional understanding of the way we make food.
Food may feed your body, but making feeds your soul.

As part of the Burger King campaign promoting Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, Crispin Porter + Bogusky (CP+B), Miami, has developed SithSense.com. On this Web site, one can play a game of 20 Questions with Darth Vader. What are you thinking of: animal, vegetable or mineral?
Once on the site, Darth Vader appears and walks toward the person playing the game. This live action footage is combined with Flash animation and is set on the planet of Mustafar. In his famous, breathy voice, the masked man says he will use the force along with the questions you answer to read your mind. However, specific objects do not concern him, he intones.
If a friend has sent you an e-mail directing you to the site, the leader of the dark side will address you directly; that is, if he recognizes the name your friend entered in the name field. For me, his intimidation tactics began with, "Emily, I hope you've come back with a larger brain." On my next visit he greeted me by saying, "Emily, I thought I was through with you."
There are approximately 300 audio clips programmed into the site. They are attached to movements, but could be attached to multiple movements, according to interactive creative director Jeff Benjamin. Vader also knows about 600 names, which he will say, and can identify approximately 10,000 things you might be thinking of, which he does not verbalize. Throughout the game, the screen may shake--take that as a warning that Vader is upset with you.
The programming for the game originated with statistician Robin Burgener whose company is 20Q (http://20Q.com). This online game format of 20 Questions was in synch with the creatives' desire to utilize Vader's force in a magical way.
