If this Allied Irish Bank ad were just in the usual fashion with some expensive camera, it wouldn’t be news. But because it was shot using an iPhone 5, suddenly it’s a big deal. But that can’t change the fact the ad is still a boring bank ad.
The spot is simple landscape imagery shot from a moving train. Not that there’s anything wrong with landscape shots but the ad isn’t really all that captivating.
Of the work, Rothco Creative Director Damian Hanley said, “It was a big decision to shoot the ads on the iPhone. But once we did some preliminary tests, we knew that they were able to deliver high quality footage.” Via.
