This kind of approach is perfect for the mainstream Canon EOS target, without alienating the harcore professional lovers of Canon’s versatility and quality. If you were expecting something wacky and zany, then their point & shoot cameras would be more appropriate.
Good campaign I reckon.
Hey I wonder if anyone can point me to where I can find the canon photo5 competition promotional video that showed previous (2007) entries and was played to fun music. It used to be a link on the canon website. I can t seem to find it anywhere. Any leads? It must be archived somewhere???
i’m 1 of the fans of Leo Burnett , thanks
Can someone pinpoint the song used in the Photo5 competition promo video… it was awesome but shazam and google lyrics bring up absolutely nothing!
I want to know what the song used in the World of EOS Photo5 competion promo add was too!
It sounds very much like Mumford & Sons to me, but I cant seem to confirm that… I really want to know. Id buy the song or album if there is one.
@ straighte180 and Kate – I love the song too, emailed Canon about it last year, the only info I got from them was it was written specifically for the Photo 5 competition, no details as to who, or lyrics either, sadly. I’m driving my family nuts by playing it over and over again trying to get them all, a tad difficult when you’re slightly deaf in one ear, aye.
So pleased that they’re using it this year too.
Hey Folks, I know someone out there will end up on this article of they are still looking for the song, so thought I’d leave the info here:
The song is called ‘Sally’ by Myrtle Street Connection, it’s available on Spotify and iTunes, as well as their own website.
