Unsung Heroes of Advertising
May 19, 2010 • 10:13 am • POSTED BY Adam FlanaganJust a beautiful documentary by the good folks at Mother NY, in partnership with their client Stella Artois. It’s so nice when something like this gets made just because it should, and the agency and client both get it. Doesn’t need to be anything more than that.
[...] big thank you to Adam Flanagan over at the 160 Over 90 blog who shared a link to a lovely documentary, titled Up There, about the men who hand paint billboards in New York City. [...]
Thanks for sharing the “Up There” video. Somehow missed this gem on Vimeo. Really inspiring how these guys paint beautiful images on such a huge canvas. I just saw Art & Copy a week or two ago — they also talked about how billboards and advertising have changed; told the personal story of a family owned billboard company who now does only vinyl prints.
Cool beans. Thanks again for the fun video!
