The brief was to create a 30 second commercial to celebrate Belu water. Belu are the first UK bottled water company that uses corn to make their bottles, which make them very environmentally friendly, and that is the spin i based the ad on. I decided to take a more animation look with narrative to clearly state some of Belu's key selling points. It was very tedious and grueling to create (when thinking of all the drwaing and photoshop work, but i am happy with it.

Richard Branson has admitted that investing in U.S. corn ethanol is a mistake. He prefers biofuels made in Africa, where much higher yields can be obtained. He refers to Mozambique, where sugarcane plantations can yield up to seven times more ethanol per acre than corn ethanol in the U.S.
Cory's still on TV, and still kind of being a dick. Charlotte's still grumpy and combative, even for Charlotte. It's like nothing has changed in months (cough). So it's up to Lincoln to force the status quo to change... even if he choses something akin to the worst way possible way to do so.<br /><br />Plus, a rug is cut.
One of my greatest pleasures this first year has been having the opportunity to personally meet so many Bradley County citizens. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating ~ we have some of the greatest folks on earth living right here in Cleveland/Bradley. This community has supported the BCSO in a big way and I think it’s only fair the BCSO give something back.
This is going to be a lot of fun and you definitely don’t want to miss it. Even the food’s going to be fun. We’ll have hamburglars, law dogs, perp corn, snow cons, legal drinks and other such goodies. And, friends, we’re offering it all to you free of charge, thanks to the generosity of our friends and sponsors.
We’re going to roll out the BCSO fleet, too ~ the Command Center, our new 100th Anniversary Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic and some of our newly made-over patrol cars. We’ll even bring out the APC we received free from the federal government so you can judge for yourselves if it qualifies as a “tank.”
Everybody loves popcorn. Especially us. But we take it further than anyone else. You could say we're crazy - seriously crazy - about the stuff! How serious? And just how crazy? Serious enough that we created a company completely devoted to popping the freshest, plumpest, most tender kernels of Indiana's finest corn. And crazy enough that we hired the world's first Popcorn Chef, Ed Doyle, to help us reinvent popcorn. Visit Dale & Thomas on MOLI.com

Each year thousands of automotive customizers and tuners, as well as media and celebrities attend the Specialty Equipment and Marketers Association Convention (SEMA) in Las Vegas. The 37 billion dollar a year industry unveils the hottest and latest technology and equipment to help pimp their rides. But this year it's not all about bigger and faster.
Always on top of the latest trends, the convention is going green. Tuners in the market have begun researching E85, because it has a lot of octane capability. Ethanol is giving the green light to those who love to go fast. By buying E85 you are buying 100 octane racing fuel, which is also a biofuel.
Celebrities are also choosing to be environmentally efficient. Jay Leno, a self-confessed "car nut," is showing off his latest Corvette, modified to run on the bio-fuel, E85 ethanol, made from corn.

When it comes to feeding the family dog or cat we want to believe that we're buying the very best. But when was the last time you read the list of ingredients in your pet's food? You may be shocked to learn that federal regulations say it is okay for pet food to contain cheap fillers, potential allergens, certain chemicals and even crushed bird beaks and brains.
Concerns about what is in pet food have lead to increased sales for natural pet food. In fact, a new report by industry analysts "Packaged Facts" expects double digit growth of natural pet food in the next two years. One example is the Wellness brand. It goes far beyond government dictated standards by avoiding chemicals, fillers, artificial flavors or colors and never using potential allergens such as wheat, wheat gluten, corn, or soy. Instead, they include power foods like boneless chicken, hormone-free New Zealand lamb and antioxidant-rich blueberries.
