This music video was shot for Sour's 'Hibi no Neiro' (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album 'Water Flavor EP'. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. ...

Blake Hadley Creative Everyday we see a number of advertisements all around us, but how much are YOU really affected by them? Is it true that some advertising can be subliminal and tap into your subconscious without you even knowing it? Or is this video just a bunch of BS.
I have had a number of discussions with coworkers and classmates abou...t this subject but I am curious to what you think. Please comment.

Hmmmmm, well the acting in this video was terrible. Completely staged in my opinion. However, it still makes a good point. Advertising can have subliminal effects, I understand that. But a coincidental drawing of a bear playing a harp next to some pearl gates... c'mon. And further, I don't think the items listed in the taxi cab ride could have had that much influence on the creativity of a professional.

On the other hand, I think constant exposure to something DOES have an affect on us and our buying decisions which is why the industry exists.

On the other hand, maybe the reason I randomly painted this bear with wings on my chest while I slept last night was indeed because I watched this segment. Whose to say?
