Awesome advertising in Tokyo’s subway

Imagine if you will a flip-book idea. As the subway passes, the still images are blurred into one moving image.

    Pretty nifty. I love those things.

    You know when you drive off to the side of the road on the highway, when your wheels hit those little white things on the road that make a noise so you know to straighten your car up?

    I heard in Germany or somewhere they made ones that play a classical tune.

    I wish they wouldn’t just use the subways for advertising. They could use the same technique to re-create the chocolate river scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or make a ghost suddenly appear or something to freak people out.

    Wow.. I think this is brilliant! Seriously. A lot of dead space in a dark tunnel the city can now bank on with this new concept. Some creative companies can do a lot with this too. I wonder how many frames (walls) this took.

    I saw an ad of that kind when riding the Tokyo Metro. It was for a new album by an enka singer. I thought it was neat.

    Innovative advertising on Tokyo subways

    You know when someone thinks of something something really cool, yet still really simple and not too difficult to pull off, and makes you think “damn, why didnt I think of that”? Well this is one…
