Keep reading as we explore three impressive examples of snappy video advertising done right.

Video Worth Sharing #40

Canon | Next Year

Slow motion is a powerful tool that isn't always used effectively. Here Canon take a series of slow motion clips strung together with a swelling piece of music to create a sense of building excitement. It's a wonderful representation of the pleasure of capturing a perfect moment on film.

The Sunday Times | Culture

Some of the most iconic visuals ever — all beautifully, and astoundingly, created in a single 50-second take. This is a masterclass: a simple yet powerful idea that fits the brief to a T, pulled off with an execution where there's simply no room for mistake.

Deliveroo | Notts

Deliveroo do a great job of getting us excited to eat in this quickfire ad. Gorgeous shots of food, people and places combine into a tantalizingly tasty roundup. Plus, Nottingham is our home, so this made us feel all warm and fuzzy inside as well as hungry.
