Central Station Freeze Meets Evolution of Dance

Posted by Robert Birming in Video Clips on January 20, 2009 at 9:47 am


A nice commercial from T-Mobile that feels like a mix between the very popular Frozen in Grand Central and Evolution of Dance video clips.

    That's. Outstanding.
    My theatre friends and I wanted to do something like this (in a much smaller caliber) in one of our lunch halls, but couldn't get enough time to rehearse with finals week and all.

    That's hilarious. And I love how random people got into some of the songs! :)

    All I could think of, as more and more people "turned," was "this is what a zombie outbreak musical would look like."

    It's an ad, so of course it's fake. It's just more proof that supposed ad "creatives" just spend their time surfing the web looking for more ideas to steal.

    Steal, or improve? I liked it better than the 'freeze' from improv everywhere.

    I think it was stolen from the Grand Central Station waltz scene in "The Fisher King".

    I don't like the way it uses clips instead of sticking to one song. Nor do I care for all the shots of delighted onlookers laughing with joy. I prefer to decide if something's awesome for myself.

    Now that was certainly a scene I would love to have seen. Any flash mobbers out there...you've been served!

    As soon as I saw this ad come on my TV I hated it. Very original commercial guy. T-mobile have lost me as a customer for good.

    Unless it's a really good deal. My principles are cheap.

    It is Liverpool Street Station, kusito. Possibly the one and only time I have ever seen it in a sober state. I think I prefer it near last train time when I am drunk.

    No, this is not nice at all. It was very nice when Improv Everywhere did it and it was nice when other flashmobs from around the world copied it. T-mobile perverted the idea by shamelessly using it for their own gain. Nothing original, nothing creative.

    being a creative, that ruled.

    they sold the brand, their not selling the phone.

    ask yourself this, where do you shop, walmart or target? it's the same dumb stuff, but target has a better brand identity, so you shop there because you think it's better.

    tmobile didn't show case a single one of their phones there, their selling you the idea of a phone, which is much much more effective.

    and for all those that think these guys just ripped it off from someone else, wake up honey pie, it's like that all the way down, whether you choose to accept it or not is your idea. It's all perspective, and incredibly relative.

    It's REAL and COOL. I know I was there. Sure they copied other flash mobs and it was rehearsed, But seeing that when I was on my way to work was kick ass. I walked in about half way through. It is Liverpool St station.
