HP Michel Gondry – Eternal Dreamer
HP continues the “Computer Is Personal Again” campaign with this spot featuring French film director Michel Gondry, (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
Michel provides the voiceover in his French accent: “I love experimenting with film, animation or digital effects. I use my computer to connect these three worlds. What else do I do? I play with images. I transform photos people send me then email them back. What a mess! My computer needs a major. My son does amazing paintings. I photograph them so I can put them on his web site. I play music too. I even did the music for this commercial on my computer. I get online to see how many hits I get and how many hits other people get too. It’s funny… I dream a lot but I am not a very good sleeper.”
The spot is a mash-up of different styles that echoes Michel’s feature, The Science of Sleep, starring Gael García Bernal.
