thanks for this insight. i was always sure that adverts are rarely original but i didn't know that the rip off is so obvious and systematic. propably it works similar in the field of music video... does anybody has knowledge about "creative reels" there, too?

Later in the 90s they progressed to renting movies with scenes simliar to the ones they needed and editing those scenes into what they called "Creative reels" that they gave to the Prod Designer and DP to copy from.
