This is the final version of a spec spot that we produced for the 2009 “Your Amazon Ad Contest”, and submitted on 28 July 2009. Sadly we did not make the final five, but I encourage you to go vote on the ones that did. (The contest has since long ended.)

Do you have an extended version maybe one with more of the giant girl in the city, or maybe a behind the scenes video. But awesome video really cool idea and funny
It was targeted for an exactly 30 second spot, so we were pretty economical with it. No extended version. I might do a behind-the scenes vid, but may take me a little while to get to it.
Thanks for the kind words!
