Vision Express - Great Artists Steal

Picasso said “good artists borrow, great artists steal.”

However I think one of the rules about stealing is don’t get caught. So when I saw the Vision Express ad below on the TV today.

I couldn’t but help be reminded of a video by the Japanese director Nagi Noda who died recently. See if you can spot any similarities…

It’s nothing new for ad agencies to steal good ideas from music videos, but usually the same director is involved for both. See Nagi Noda’s music video for sentimental journey and the ads she was commissioned to make for Coke, which some of you may remember.

  1. Vision Express one is better, actually it’s way better, nothing wrong with not being original, look at rock music, or dance well the most popular stuff anyway
