Hasta La Motion!

[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/asylum_teleflora_thumb.jpg”]18737[/NEWS]Premier West Coast design and VFX studio Asylum brings to life a foul mouthed bouquet of flowers in the new high profile ad for Teleflora via The Fire Station. The spot had its debut during this year’s Super Bowl. The spot, spearheaded by VFX Supervisor Piotr Karwas, opens with several office workers standing around a cubicle as a box of flowers is delivered to a fellow co-worker. When she opens the box she gets more than she bargained for as a wilted but rowdy bouquet of flowers hurls insults at her while co-workers look on in shock.

The message is clear: sending flowers in a cardboard box isn’t the best way to show you care. Teleflora flowers are hand arranged and hand delivered in a keepsake vase, not in a box. That’s the Teleflora difference.
