AB5TRAX “Hello George” Toyota Prius Ad- 08.12.08
When an email comes that says “Think Issac Asimov meets the Jetsons” ~ you can’t not click on it. And good thing i did, because the crew at AB5TRAX just sent over their brand new ad spot Hello George, an incredibly moving, beautiful, futuristic animation where George Jetson’s car in a briefcase is… a Toyota Prius!
Here’s what Hunter Woo mentioned in the email, “It was designed, conceived and created all inhouse, we built the 3D in Maya , and modeled the world from real pictures of the earth
from space… I thought it might be a fitting tribute / theme for the other posts dealing with views from space up now.”
See still from the ad on the next page, and watch Hello George here in full sized mode!
So… why do they show the future Prius as being way smaller than a Messerschmitt microcar? Is the space man actually really tiny, or did the world somehow evolve gigantic Messerschmitts?
(Real answer: Someone thought Messerschmitts were cool, and if a Prius can fit in a briefcase, then darnit a Messerschmitt can be eight feet tall.
