Love the drawing and the animation, hate the narration: G+J Corporate Editors video (German)
Amazing how you can have a good idea, make a great video and ruin it with a silly voice over. Gee. What were they thinking.

A new generation of ink eraser - Tintenkiller 2.0
The German word for ink eraser is “Tintenkiller”, which literally means ink killer. That’s subtle German humour for you right there.
Back in the days at school when I wrote with fountain pens, the killer was the superduperübertool right next to the ruler. Having been a type nerd early on, a dash in the wrong place or a misshaped b could basically ruin my day. I think I spent half of my time at school with writing neat headlines.
Killer was my reliable friend for making things look good when I messed up. I must have gone through dozens of them over the years. These days you got the delete button, but in the analogue age it was either killer or tipp-ex.
Now, in 2010, pen company Pilot came up with something called Frixion Evolve, an ink pen that you can erase. I evolved from type nerd to pen nerd (which means I have a natural inclination towards these kind of things) and Tintenkiller evolved to Frixion.
Pilot did a clever thing: together with Jürgen Krieger they made a gorgeous little animation for that pen, showing exactly how you can use it creatively. And to finish the story on a German note - they added yodling as a soundtrack for the drawing.
Enjoy!

You’ve all seen the @greenpeace “Unfriend Coal” campaign, right? If not, do so now. It’s good. And drawn.
Great campaign, good storyline, nice execution. Go and unfriend coal.
