We all know agencies tend to latch on to trends when it comes to creativity. It can be anything from photographic style to video effects (remember Gap’s use of the Matrix swing camera trick?) or a song. We’re not sure if it’s just us but over the past few days, we’ve seen more than a few videos/ads with soundtracks that sound very similar to the theme of the television show Friday Night Lights.

Here’s the latest entry from TraceyLocke and Shilo director Evan Dennis. It’s a :90 video for Montain Dew entitled “Paul Rodriguez: It’s Different on my Mountain.” It;’s all about how skateboarding changed Rodriguez’s life. And, yes, it’s as pretentious as it sounds.
