Adidas Adicolor Green in Post Apocalyptic Bliss
The second instalment in the Adicolor Directors’ series is ‘Green’, directed by HAPPY. The three minute video features two couples celebrating an orgy of green in a post post nuclear environment.
The silver haired couples, the Finkles and Gladstones, eagerly anticipate a celebration first begun in the wake of a nuclear holocaust. This is a rite that has lost its original significance but continues to reward with excitement.
The women begin first. They take green pods out of a bowl and burst them, resulting in green goo on their chests. The men watch on with enrapture, finally joining in a fracas that takes on the appearance of a biological holocaust as the room becomes covered in green splots. The final tagline: “Receive and you shall receive”.
Unlike most advertisements, and like most features, the final credits are all given in this spot.
