Capitalizing on You Tube's popularity, ad agency Grey New York idea to take actual fan footage reaction to make up their TV spot is a very hip idea. The actual play is by NFL star Santonio Holmes during Super Bowl 43 and is considered one of the best catches in Super Bowl history. Watching real fans celebrate the legendary moment is always a fun thing to watch.

Sports are big business in New York City, but Tool of North America Director Geordie Stephens channels the city's passion through the small-time community memorabilia store in a hilarious four-spot campaign for SportsNet NY. The spots star a pair of hapless transplanted middle easterners - Sharif and Mandif - running the "NY NY Sports Sports" collectibles and apparel shop.
In Busting Balls, the pair rants to bemused police officers that a villain is infiltrating their store each afternoon to "bust our balls." The police give chase when the perpetrator appears in a Mets jersey, deflating Yankee-themed balloons before fleeing from the store. Hoop Promotion features an ill-conceived contest, in which customers try to sink a basketball through a hoop in exchange for a prize. The balls smash into walls, knock merchandise from shelves, hit a bystander in the groin - going everywhere except in the basket.

Great new ad for Gatorade, features the song "Evolve", music is produced by David Banner and the artist's name is Quinn who is a member of the group, BLACKstreet. Gatorade Has Evolved shows how Gatorade has advanced hydration and sports performance and how the G Series will break new ground. The spot takes viewers back to a day when athletes balled on peach baskets, their racquets were wooden and hydration was only water. Jump to 1965 when Gatorade revolutionized hydration and helped fuel athletes like Michael Jordan and Mia Hamm as they redefined sports performance. Now in 2010, the G Series will change the sports performance landscape once again. Usain Bolt, Dwight Howard, and Peyton Manning were instrumental in working with Gatorade scientists during the development of the G Series.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are heating up as the remaining NHL teams face off for the right to hoist the most famous trophy in all of sports in June. As intense as the current action is, the journey takes on even greater significance when the storied history of the NHL and the epic battles for the Cup are considered. Smoke & Mirrors, working via Y&R, played a key role in a stirring seven-spot campaign spotlighting some of the League’s all-time great players in their legendary moments of glory.
The spots are remarkable replays of these classic moments, portrayed in slow motion and in reverse, rendered so that the on-screen look captures the exact tone and feel of a particular era, and set to dramatic piano music. The New York Rangers’ Mark Messier triumphantly raises the Stanley Cup over his head. Bobby Orr emerges from a pile of fellow Boston Bruins to fly backward through time, scoring a dramatic airborne goal. The Detroit Red Wings’ Steve Yzerman scores a dramatic game-winning goal, a spot that begins in regular speed as the team celebrates and then kicks into slow-motion reverse until he’s poised to take a slap shot. Other spots feature Patrick Roy, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky and Ray Bourque.
“What a joy to take the best moments in NHL history and be given the chance to help create something this cool,” noted Smoke & Mirrors CCO Sean Broughton. “As spectacular as this footage is in regular replays, the dramatic spots that our team came together to build are mesmerizing. They beautifully portray the game’s incredible history in a compelling way that would capture hockey fans and nonfans alike.”
The historic footage came from multiple formats and cameras and was of varying quality, presenting unique challenges. Smoke & Mirrors found a look to bind the various pieces together, then up-rezed to HD from SD. Some of the film had deteriorated into a state of disrepair, compelling the crew to clean the footage, strip out miscellaneous video tears and film gromits, and then hand the freshly restored footage off to their new Resolve 360 grading suite, where the legendary Ben Eagleton whipped up a beautiful grade that felt authentic and unified the footage.
In the Flame suite, Phil Akka and Brian Benson skillfully time warped the footage to create seamless slowdowns to reverses, creating brand new slow-motion sequences of the historic footage from scratch. To maintain the historic nature of these, Smoke & Mirrors added real film grain and the occasional scratch back in, being constant in nature to one footage source. Once the look and process had been established on one spot, the crew copied it for each film allowing for different quality issues with each piece of archival footage. Credits:

AudioEngine Mixer and Partner Rex Recker, in collaboration with NYC's Gotham and Smuggler's Henry Alex Rubin, mixed an entertaining Reebok Sports Licensed Division's Speedwick spot starring the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby and Maxime Talbot.
When the two standouts face off in Crosby's basement, firing pucks across the room into Sidney's childhood clothes dryer, Recker ensured that the booming noise of the puck colliding with the metal crossbar, and additional game play sounds, synched perfectly with the onscreen action. audioEngine also facilitated the transition from live action to the still logo shots with the mix of an upbeat track that kicks in at the contest's conclusion.

Urban Olympic Games stars a hip young city dweller rambling about town, Omnia II in hand, gazing at Olympic Internet coverage. So clear and engaging is the content that his urban environment merges with the onscreen arenas of athletic heroics, transforming an escalator into a steep ski slope, a commuter train into a bobsled track, and a building lobby into an ice rink complete with figure skater. Simon's composition perfectly complements the action with a piano-heavy riff that ticks up and down as the onscreen action lessens or intensifies. The sound design is pitch perfect as well, with rocketing noises accompanying the acceleration of the skis and bobsled down the slope.
