Now that's a promo.

This is a promotion running in the UK for season 5, which is starting soon on Living TV over there. It's not a TV ad. It's a public display. o.O

I watched it with the sound off (since I'm at work) so I don't know what the sound on it might be. Thanks to irismay42 for the link.

I borrowed it from Rogue Events! The sound's just traffic I think!

As someone from advertisement I have to say this is not only very inventive but technically well made. I love how the arch seems to cruble in the end. Wonderful :)
Why the heck don't we have that kind of stuff in Austria?!

*twiddles thumbs* Methinks a trip to London may be in store this weekend...

That's absolutely brilliant! (BTW the sound on the clip is just ambient traffic noise.) Last month's (British) SFX magazine was also full of SPN promos - it looks like this change to a new channel is going to be good for the show given the amount of publicity it's getting.

(And here is Australia we have NOTHING! I'm immigrating!)

That is so freaking cool I just can't even stand it.

OMG OMG OMG OMG that is so SO cool!

(I am so filled with squee for the start of the season after seeing that I have to go back & watch it again :D )

Are you SERIOUS!? That is freakin' AWESOME!

[caffienekitty]

Thanks for linking it! That's amazing!

The crumbling was awesome! It freaked me out when I first saw it and it took me a second watch to see how it was done.

As to why you don't have things like that in Austria, I have no idea, but North America doesn't have them either, so at least you don't need to feel deprived. Th UK is just an extra level of awesome I guess. :-D

[caffienekitty]

Oh I hope it's still running if you get a chance to go! Watch the bus shelters there as well, there';s supposed to be some really cool ads on those too!

[caffienekitty]

Yay, I posted something Supernatural-related you can look at! This thrills me no end! \o/

The new channel is really going nuts with publicity for it, I really hope it works out for them, because if it takes off in the UK, that might make your channels less cantankerous about carrying it.

I really wish they did things this awesome for promotion in North America.

[caffienekitty]

OMG I know!! Nothing like that happens over here! They also have some awesome and creative bus shelter ads, they're linked in the most recent spnfencentral news.

[caffienekitty]

Isn't it fantastic!? Yet another reason the UK rocks. They also have some awesome and creative bus shelter ads, they're linked in the most recent spnfencentral news.

[caffienekitty]

Seriously!!! The UK channel it's going to be airing on knows how to do freaking promotion! They also have some awesome and creative bus shelter ads, they're linked in the most recent spnfencentral news.

[spndpfrdcrck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm worried it won't be since it's for the premiere and I won't be able to go until after...still worth a shot though! And I saw those bus ads, I want to find one! They're amazing at advertising over here

[malevolent73.livejournal.com]

I saw the ads too, that holy water one is just so damn clever!
