Do you think an Orange would do the trick? I have a problem with my Apple, and what can make a perfect gift for some kid? An eggbox?

Nice way to entice the real audience!

Any person’s call causes a mobile to fall over the table edge that person will win that mobile. After a mobile has fallen onto the floor or into the water tank, people could still call it to check that it worked.

Go to a party? Stab an opponent? After experiencing the consequences of their choices, viewers were invited to choose a different ending for the film, and their life. Ad Agency behind this work is Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO in the UK.

After you watch this film, you will be given the choice whether to let the character carry a knife or not.
