Capturing the attention of customers with online videos is a fantastic way to create awareness of your business and products and show that you are a dynamic enterprise with an eye on the latest trends. A great concept is always the best way to start a video production and LG have succeeded here with their latest online video advertisement.

A mere sixty seconds long this simple idea has you watching again and again to try and pick out the angles and find out how your eyes were beaten. It looks realistic and the twist is funny yet believable. With the memory of the looting after the recent riots still strong on our minds this humorous take on the notion of theft is perfectly timed.

Uploaded at the end of December the video from LG disguised as a simple viral video upload has garnered just under 1.5 million views and plenty of comments along the way. This is my favourite from the rather unobservant FrederikMeyer:

“The greatest detail is that you can see at 0:51 the sign says: "The World's Slimmest Television" This should be a commercial!”

Apparently the ad is destined for a television slot as well which is certainly good news, as any influence viral ads can have on the televised advertising world would be fantastic. It’s subtle, clever and often hilarious style would probably keep you watching.

If you have a product to advertise and want to get the most out of your video production, why not get in touch.
