The first add looks kind of porr, for having only photos animated. Looks like somethng I could do in half an hour in iMovie. Then the second one has more appealing graphics and edition but it's not a comercial but a documentary. I wish they could just paste Masi Oka appearance and discourse on the second and make a third, mashup..
