Australia’s TAC has a beautiful series of PSA’s about not driving over the speed limit. I love the “moving backwards” reconstruction of the first one. The second is a bit more like a melodrama.

Well, Gorilla Tuesday, to be more precise.
Cadbury Chocolates has come up with a completely random, “what does this have to do with chocolate anyways” film of a Gorilla drumming away to Phil Collins.
The campaign only launched a few days ago, but already there are a couple interesting remixes, proving that music can really set the tone for the video you are watching.

And here is another remixed with A Skillz:
Expect to see more fun with the drumming gorilla on YouTube.
