United Airlines Commercials
Has anyone seen those animated commercials for United Airlines (I believe the first one ran during the Oscars, directed by Wendy Tilby), and they have Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue'? I think there are 3 of them so far. I saw the latest one this past week where a guy puts a rose in his briefcase and goes across the country to take it to his mother. They are really neat to look at.

They're done by Acme Filmworks
AWN's president, Ron Diamond, has a production company, Acme Filmworks. They produced those three spots for United.

Ah...I thought maybe it was them. My favorite artist out of that group is Joanna Quinn. (But really, they are all fantastic!)

That rose one was done in Russia by Alexander Petrov through Pascal Blaise in Canada.

While the rose might have been animated by Petrov at Pascal Blais, I don't think that was his voice. Hehehe. Guess you mis-read the question.
I've not seen any of these commercials in question. Is there a link in which I can see them on-line? Cheers

Jeez. I just looked at Acme's web site, and demo reel. They have some big boys (and girls or course) available to them in order to direct commercials. Michael Dudok de Wit, one of my personal favorites since "the monk and the fish", John K, Peter Chung and Plympton. Unbelievable.
As for Joanna Quinn... I always wondered who did those toilet paper commercials I admired for all this time (the ones with the bears). Great stuff. I did not like a lot of her other stuff highlited in the demo, but that is just me. I love Acme's artsy styles that they use in their commercials though. Kinda cool to look at. Cheers

They also have Garry Bardin! That's what I call a dream team!
