Entry Summary:
The “Original is Never Finished” spot features a multi-generational cast of some of the world’s biggest names,including Frank Sinatra, Dev Hynes, Snoop Dogg, Mark Gonzales and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The film is influenced by past creations to inspire creators the world over to feed off artists new and old.The launch film is itself a demonstration of the brand’s philosophy. With a radical re-interpretation of the much used track “My Way,” popularized by Frank Sinatra, the film proves if you push something that’s been done before far enough it becomes original again.Through reinventions of symbolic icons of beauty and culture—from Botticelli’s Birth of Venus to Snoop Dogg’siconic Doggystyle album cover—the film is a provocative message to a new generation of artists and creators who feel inhibited by the idea that everything has been done before, and a reminder that original is never finished.
Synopsis:
So many people believe that to create something “original,” it can’t have been done before.So for the brand that constantly reinvents its past to create its future, we took the most overdone track of all time,Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” and did it again. The result is an original anthem that seeks to free creators from the conventional definition of “original” — a reminder that doing it “their way” makes it their own.The spot rocked music’s biggest night, the Grammy’s. And then, its philosophy was echoed by three more musicvideos, remixed by Snoop Dogg, MadeinTYO, and Desiigner.
