We've all seen it by now. So well done, it deserves a closer look. Not a frame by frame analysis but some interesting highlights...
Nom nom yum yum. They strategically worked the outfit to reveal more leg when she walked. Note how the dress is being pulled to her right. Everyone else was tinted a few shades grayer. The idea to suck in the average red blooded American male works.
Whoever chose her for this commercial deserves a big bonus.
Nom nom break. The car. Some interesting 'customization' choices by Ford. The chrome grille for one. Side gills. So noted. But why do Ford marketing people insist on using what are (in my opinion) the cheesiest quarter window louvers on the market (same cheesy appeal on Roush models as well). Ford has used these in their dealer brochures in the past and they were just as ugly. If the idea is a tie-in with the whole Mustang/customization theme that Ford has pushed, fine. But man, they are ugly!
It looks like the louvers were added digitally, as well. Again....ew.
Plenty of other Ford vehicles in the ad. As expected, the phone number on the side of the cabs doesn't work.
Out of nowhere, BAM!!! Tony Gonzalez, as a chef no less. And why? The tattoo tie-in, no less...
A very well done morph...
I can hear the marketing people plea for a spicy red hot illusion, ripe and chock full of ethnic draw (hence another reason for Gonzalez), from base to GT. Also note the black rectangular shadow just before the rear tire and under the rocker...
Are the same (lame) people that gave the thumbs up for the louvers (note the digitized add-on here as well) also trying to emulate the Boss exhaust on non-Boss vehicles? Some sort of mental seed being planted?
WTF?:shrug:
Something else. New York plates on everything. But I see a number of substantial elevation changes and the streets are waaaay too clean.
Some kick ass Boss ZebraTron. Note the tacky louvers had yet to go poof!
The green looks far better than I thought it would.
And now the switch, the turn, into what makes this a heck of an ad. The cutest little ballerina on the streets oh 'NY' surrounded by men in dark suits, holding her hand to protect her, with the Boss approaching...
No refuse to be seen but plenty of Ford/Lincoln support...
A quick transition to pink to match the girl. I thought it would have lasted longer for some sort of Susan G. Komen homage. Maybe the latest controversy cut that short. Anyway, the Richard Simmons Edition cladding was shunned rather abruptly. Thank God.
You can almost hear the car underneath screaming "Get this gay crap off me!!!"
Phew. Sorry Perez.
Ford definitely enhanced the darkening of the wheels, for whatever reason.
Interesting that when she sees her 'dark' reflection that the dark suits around her lighten up and there is nobody holding her hand anymore...
My God, what a cutie!
Yup, Ford played with the darkness of the wheels. They also let some GM (do I see a Prius behind the S-10 too?) slip into the ad...
Daddy's little girl, eh? He has no idea...
A fitting way to end everything.
Ford covered the base Mustang, the GT, the Boss, and the GT500. They slipped in some multiculturalism, sexuality, typical gender stereotypes, as well as some deviant Freudian characteristics that exist in just about anything with a heartbeat.
Not a 30 second ad for the model we prefer but well done nonetheless.
