I was watching a trailer a couple of hours ago and at one moment I noticed something familiar...

Time: 1:20-1:21

Have a look at this if you don't remember it:

Time:around 00:30 and 0:44 to 00:48

I don't think it's just a coincidence...Same director or what??

You've got a point!

Ha, now that's cool. You've got eagle eyes, don't you? Haven't even noticed without your time mark. Great find.

I'll go with coincidence. The Test was directed by Dom & Nic, and Nim's Island was directed by Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin (thanks imdb.com!)

Speaking of quinkidinks - I saw this Zune commercial a few months back and was reminded of the Test viddy:

It's a brief commercial, but worth a look and you'll see what I mean. It's almost uncanny.

Eagle eyes? Mmmmmm...I thought it was pretty evident...but maybe your're right, which would mean I am Wonderwoman, which wouldn't be bad at all! :D

I see what u mean. I think copying is quite an habit for advertising guys, so I find it more worrying to see this kind of stuff in movies.

Whirly, that's great too :D !!! And it's good to know where those influences came from (not only the jelly fish part - imitating is the highes form of appreciation, isn't it). I like this advert.

@raggiante: If so I'd see nothing bad either :D

Not copied, but definitely an inspiration.

@Whirly - Oh, you did not just write "Quinkidinks..." I hate that word. But yes, damn, another point of inspiration from the Test video. Although that one looks more like an actual copy with the girl stuck in.

And no wonder The Test video was so good--I didn't know Dom and Nic directed it!!

Speaking of The Test... God... what a great fucking song.

:lol: Yeah, the "quinkidink" comment was lame on my part, I fully admit. If it's any consolation, I don't actually use that term out in the real world.

I strongly feel Dom & Nic have the midas touch when it comes to their videos for the Chemical Brothers.

seems almost exact hey...

chemical brothers did it better

GREAT SPOT

Yea, I can see the similarites. But the Test is way better. This movie looks very stock.

this movie looks gay anyway

Oh, come on! Talking animals! The girl from Little Miss Sunshine!

This is Oscar-worthy shiat!
