To promote Windows Server 2008, a series of three video ads starring a computer-generated robot character are playing at www.serverunleashed.com and other sites. The spots were created by McCann Erickson/San Francisco and produced by Digital Domain/Venice, Calif.
In the spots, the robot, nicknamed IT247, is the server, and it runs and jumps around the industrial space as two men discuss it.
The men were shot on green screen with everything else in the spots in 3D. The spots were shot with an Arri D4 digital camera.

Developed as part of the Ad Councilโs partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and created pro bono by agency StrawberryFrog, this public service campaign underscores the vital role young people can play in reversing opioid overdoses by carrying naloxone (often branded as Narcan or ReVive).
Directed by Haya Waseem via production company Object & Animal, this โItโs Gotta Be Youโ PSA shows how a girl answers the call to help save another young person.
Raising awareness of opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone is a critical way to empower young adults to save lives, as the presence of fentanyl in illicit drugs and in counterfeit pills continues to put countless lives at risk nationwide.
