The Firefox Flicks ad contest is coming to a close, and they have started posting submission for the general public to view.

Check them out at: http://www.firefoxflicks.com

From Firefox:

Project Description

Create a 30-second ad, in any style (live action or animated,) that brings Firefox to life for the millions of Web users who have yet to discover Firefox and the better Web experience it delivers.


Project Summary

Mozilla seeks to expand awareness of Firefox among a broader audience for Web browsers: mainstream consumers who may have little knowledge of the value proposition for Firefox. To help increase awareness of Firefox among this target audience, Mozilla would like to produce a high-quality, innovative 30-second ad that introduces Firefox to mainstream Web users.

In line with its history and orientation, Mozilla is opening up the creation of its initial advertising creative to film/TV/advertising/multimedia professionals, students and aspiring pros as part of the Firefox Flicks Ad Contest.

rblitz7, The logo was recreated in 3D based on the final logo, then tweaked a bit to add some detail to the front of the fox that is missing from the standard logo position. It was then animated by deforming along a spline. Simple and elegant, like firefox :)

Be sure to vote for us (http://firefoxflicks.com/flick/index.php?id=20674&c=false) guys! "Wheee" had over a week head start on us ... hehe

This is supposed to be a firefox ad thing, but what is the use if the videos are not in a cross platform format. I can't see these on my ubuntu install. Very disappointed in mozilla.
