Director/Animator Jamie Caliri of LA-based production studio DUCK recently designed and animated the 02:18 title sequence for the highly anticipated feature film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, which opened nationwide November 2008 and features the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and Alec Baldwin. I Like to Move It, one of four songs from the film’s soundtrack created by Will.I.Am of Black Eyed Peas, moves the action along while the film’s whimsical characters shamelessly provide their modern dance interpretations.

Bi-coastal production company Tool has created a comical three spot campaign for Southwest Airlines via GSD&M Idea City. The :30 spots, entitled Hallelujah, Other Side of Low Fares and Scuba Lesson; were directed by Harry Cocciolo. As Scuba Lesson opens, we see an aquatic session taking place amid the pristine beauty of reefs off the coast of the Bahamas. Suddenly the student becomes aware of his airless tank, expecting mirrored desperation. Having foreseen this moment, the instructor, un-phased, pitches a fee of $35 for air supply.

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is the third installment of the Ice Age film series. This trailer opens amidst a fierce snow blizzard with Scrat still trying to find the ever elusive acorn. As he struggles against snow drifts and howling winds he suddenly notices his prize possession ahead. The lovable saber-toothed squirrel makes several desperate attempts to reach his acorn but eventually becomes frozen in ice. Managing to open his eyes, he is able to lean forward to grasp hold of the nut’s stalk and pulls it out of the ground, unknowingly releasing warm gases from under the ice.

Set in the year 2018, Terminator Salvation depicts a “dirty, gritty, difficult” world set in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust where human survivors are preyed upon by lethal robots. Directed by McG (Joseph McGinty Nichol) and staring Christian Bale, the fourth installment of the Terminator film series promises to “push the envelope” with its hi-tech visual effects. At a recent special preview of the movie held in central London, attended by McG, a five-minute trailer presented an action-packed montage of explosions and stunts, and revealed the range of robots featured in the film. Terminator fans can look forward to encounters with two-wheeled machines dubbed Mototerminators, tentacled Hydrobots and giant, armoured Harvesters.

Timberland is a Friend of the Earth

Timberland’s Earthkeepers range of eco friendly outdoor footwear is humorously spotlighted in Friend, a new spot created by Leagas Delaney and directed by Noam Murro, with a little VFX magic from Framestore. The spot features a pair of hikers, one wearing Earthkeepers, one not. We open on the friends as they crest a ridge amidst magnificent, mountainous scenery. As they soak up the spectacular view, an extra strong gust of wind violently dislodges one of them, hurling him down the mountainside. His downward progress halted by a convenient rock, he picks himself up and continues his trek.
