Animated Ads in a Subway Near You

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rediscovering-the-flipbook dept.

prostoalex writes "A company called Sub Media claims a successful launch of motion-picture ads in New York subway. The ad agency, created by a PhD in Astrophysics, prints ads on Kodak transparencies, so that when the train speeds up, the resulting images create a full-blown motion picture. The first ever ad of this was run for Target in NY, and there is another one planned for Discovery Channel."

    Come on! The Hong Kong subway system is to die for. Fast, clean, convenient. There are stations everywhere, and they place you within walking distance of any destination (except maybe in the New Territories).
