Smith & Foulkes inspiration

pop culture, film and TV fuel the visual inventiveness of ad-world darlings Alan Smith and Adam Foulkes. The audience took a trip down memory lane as the duo showed clips from works that inspired their own projects. These included the hyperactive intro from 1968 TV show The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, which triggered the frenetic pace of their Observer Music Monthly ad Abba to Zappa; and Adam and the Ants' swashbuckling music video, "Prince Charming," which provided one of many inspirations for their colorful and campy Honda commercial, Grrr. (It's the ad with Garrison Keillor's catchy chorus, "Hate something, change something, make something better.")
