Lost Generation is a palindrome video that reads the same backwards as forward, but has a totally different meaning. The video was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled “u @ 50” by AARP. This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause.
(thank you karen)
love it.
I wonder which one came first, this one won the lion d’or at cannes a handful of years ago.

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 27 times, there’s “No new thing under the sun”.

This was amazing! I’m excited to be a part of this generation, to see where it’ll go.

This is a very inspiring video. Although the concept is not truly original, the words still ring true.
I admire the design and thought process that went into this, it has been displayed in a very effective way. Well done.

It might be a “rip off,” but I still like. It’s an interesting device to make a point, I think repeating that execution is ok if it’s appropriate. The biggest issue for an ad/ message is if the execution isn’t new anymore because then it might not grab people’s attention. A good idea is a good idea.

This was fantastic. Thank you for highlighting it! Do we know who created it?

If you liked that (and I do too!), you might like this film from some climate change students in Edinburgh
