TAC 2009 Christmas Campaign TV Ad


On December 10th 1989 the first TAC commercial went to air. In that year the road toll was 776; by last year it had fallen to 303. A five minute retrospective of the campaigns produced by the TAC over the last 20 years has been compiled. The montage features iconic scenes and images from commercials that have helped change they way we drive, all edited to the moving song Everybody Hurts by REM.

The abandoned Emagine HQ

Disclaimer: Pardon the crappy iPhone picture quality.

Kind of a shame this place isn't used when I'm in AZ. Oh well, we'll make up for lost time this weekend with @matt_smallwood, @braatzy, and who knows... Maybe even @emagineguru. Anyone else care to join?
