Director Patrick Daughters has done numerous award winning videos and ads. He was nominated for a Grammy for his Feist “1234” video; he also directed the video for Grizzly Bears Two Weeks. – Themusic was done by groundbreaking band, Grizzly Bear. This was their first commercial score for an ad. (They recently licensed a song for a VW spot.) CWU partnered with them to write, create, and shape the song. Their latest album, Veckatimist, was released in 2009 and reached #8 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Veckatimist made many Top Album lists for 2009 (#1 Wall Street Journal, #4 Pitchfork, #6 New York Times, #8 Time). – The spot was choreographed by Michael Rooney who has choreographed key dance scenes in films by Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights and Magnolia) and Spike Jonze. And most recently, he choreographed “500 Days of Summer” and was rewarded with two golden globe nominations. He has also worked with Dancing With The Stars to choreograph their dances. – The set design was created by some of the same ingenious people that worked with Spike Jonze to create Where The Wild Things Are.

July 13, 2010 at 9:40 pm@timjhickey77 It reminds me of an ATTEMPT at a Beach Boys song, but the vocals in the song just don’t do it for me. Maybe a few more harmonies in there. As for award-winning, lots of things win awards, but that doesn’t mean I dig em. No big deal, just don’t like the ad.

July 13, 2010 at 10:07 pm@brywool it is a “One minute” ad which is long, but lotto has been doing commercials that are award winning and i think they are constantly trying to out do them selves. I have to like it, I’m in it. But I must add that i honestly do like the song, and we had to listen to it hundreds of times during shoot. It reminds me of a Beach Boys song, and I guess as I get older I get more nostalgic.ALSO, the director is very good at what he does and he is a super nice guy on set, and that goes far with me

July 13, 2010 at 10:30 pm@timjhickey77 Hi Tim- I wish I could say. I just think the song is really dopey and the ad is just wayyyyy too long. The girl’s fine, the commercial just goes on way too long. If I heard the song on the radio, it wouldn’t be something I’d be into. Doesn’t mean it’s bad, just means I don’t care for it. Most everyone else I know, HATES it. Oh well. Music is subjective, that’s one reason why it’s cool. Enjoy it while I mute it. 😉

July 14, 2010 at 12:39 am@RobertsPerson – YUP! I just can’t believe how much they run this commercial and how long it is. Seriously, when people hear this song, all they’re going to be able to think about is that dumb gal doing the dumb stuff in the dumb commercial. Sorry, just hate it.

July 14, 2010 at 1:26 am@S0phie92 someone edited this to be a real song. his name’s sithlord999. you’ll like it.

July 14, 2010 at 1:45 am@brywool and I agree with the annoying part. why the fuck does a lottery company need or have a commercial anyway?

July 14, 2010 at 2:22 am@brywool sorry about that, then. maybe should you write down to the stations that run it and ask them to give it a rest. that’s all I’m trying to say.
