Hi...

I don't know, if TV commercials are allowed, but the last Audi ad during the last
Superbowl looks very good. It's called "The Chase" with Jason Statham. You can find
the commercial on Youtube (there is a MakingOf, too).

Here are the pictures:

Bye,
Wasserspeier

It's a shame, cos yeah, we don't allow advertisements on the site. As i said a shame though, cos there's a lot of nice cars there
perhaps we could make an exception just this once, i doubt it though, otherwise everyone would want to start adding advertisements, and if we made allowances for one person, wed have to do the same everyone else otherwise it wouldn't be fair.
Thnx for sharing these good pics though.

Mmmmmh, here are some ads on the page. For example:
Mission Zero (Pirelli with Uma Thurman)
http://imcdb.org/movie_972390-Mission-Zero.html

Or the BMW short movie (called "The Hire") with lots of chases. They are all here, too.

Just some thoughts,
Wasserspeier

All these are on IMDB...
If that Audi ad is added on IMDB we can of course add it, else it just stay an ad like there are many others

OK there is Jason Statham, but there were Citroën ads with Sean Connery...

(yes it is the same ad for two models )

I was thinking to add this beautiful Audi A6 3.0 T FSI quattro ad too, as there are many cars and there is a movie star like Jason Statham, so it's like an action short movie. For me it's worth to be added in the site, but I don't know if we are allowed to add adverts into IMCDB

IM(ovie)CDB. I think as time goes by the "Movie" character is losing its own (and original) sense.
We'll finish submiting pics from daily TV news.

Movies please and, by extension, TV Series (and I think you'll never see me submiting pics from a TV serie).

On the other hand IMDB lists things which have nothing to do with movies or series, like the MTV music awards...
So it is normal that we also extend the range, we just have to be careful about what we allow.
For commercials I'd say that they have to either be on IMDB because recognized as short movies, or to be long enough to not be just TV-ads (like "Saab Suite").

So does that mean my Bewitched Chevy one could get added? It was over 5 minutes long (Definitely long enough to not be just a TV-ad), it was more like a promotional short film for the whole 56 line up of chevys

No idea, I haven't seen that one.
What I said above was not an asolute rule, just something to try to not have all ads containing cars being posted on imcdb
There are few ads featuring unusual cars (DeLorean for example) which could be worth mentioning but I think that doing so would lead to anything being posted
In the same way, I should never have accepted cartoon cars at the first place

So, what have you decided about it?

I think that we will rather wait to have it listed on imdb...

That's the problem. What is, at least, short movie?
More or less all of us are agree that, what it's submited in the site must have a IMDB link. IMDB, initially, is the rule. Well, all of us know exceptions: Music Videos and Documentaries (i'm not agree with that so I think are as TV News).
And about commercials, aren't movies, aren't TV series and, indeed, are a very elaborated adds.
If the site is open to all, I repeat what dragonboy said before "and if we made allowances for one person, wed have to do the same everyone else otherwise it wouldn't be fair".

So it would be better for all wait to have for commercials an IMDB link.

And I take this opportunity to tell that "animated" cars maybe never should have been in the site. A cartoon car isn't a car. It's what the drawer have imagined in his mind. I retake antp's comment here http://www.imcdb.org/movie_397306-American-Dad!.html
Probably animated movies and TV Series will be a problem in the future. And if you want to know what i think about it: finish the animated movies that now are in the site and stop it permanently in future.

I'd agree with removing animated TV series (though not movies, they're still movies after all) if this would leave more space in the database that we need (or at least that's what i understood by what Antoine has said many many times) it's as easy as making a poll and if everybody agrees then every single animated series should go out, it's too simple, the "too late" thing doesn't really count, if we all agree that's it.

If you want to do away with animated series, then I would agree. But I'm sure we could keep the ones we have already. On another note, what about shows like King of the Hill where most of the cars are fairly well drawn?

I think that this would be a case of allowing or nto allowing, if we start with well drawn or so we will end up with the same problem, we should say yes or not no matter if it's well drawn, i think.

I completely disagreew ith everything you've said about getting rid of all animated show. If you can tell what they are then they're fine.
Plus people have done all that work to get all those screenshots and identify what they are and now you just want to throw it all away.
I say just leave them all be but dont allow any future animated show to be added, but we can keep updating current ones, such as Family guy (Which like King of the Hill, the cars are much more well drawn almost practically like the real things), American Dad etc.

I do not see why animated series should be removed but not animation movies. That's the same thing.
What we should avoid is unidentifiable cars, or those which are just wild guesses.

Well, the post is about commercials but the discussion opened about "animated" movies and TV series is good. From the discussion we can get openness and, undoubtedly, our intervention in the site will be done in a better way.
"Are the same thing" yes, animated pics are made in the same way. But the problems about their ID are differents. The problem with the ID or what is "wild guesses" in an animated movie begins and it finishes in the same movie.
In an animated TV series the problem begins in episode 1.01 and you don't know when it will finish.
The user who has posted the animated TV series, naturally, wants that all his pics must be in the page. And later begins the problem. One user says: "this pic must be in comments, its ID isn't clear", but other says: "it's clear is..(the model X)"....it's unnecessary. This problem will be the same in an animated movie but it will beging and it will finish at the same time. The problem will not be longer. While, in TV animated series, the problem will be the same in Season 5, 6, 7, etc...

If we agree something about it, it would be better to make an "announce" post.
I go for:
- Yes to animated movies
- Yes to animated TV series thar are now in the site until those animated series be over.
- No to a newanimated series.

Post Data: probably all this discussion would be better in "General"

Vilero's post seems to be very well thought out and agree with it.
Just one little nick pic with the last of those three points.
How about:
-no to a NEW animated series that is known to be continuing for a long time.
Cos in the forum from me is this animated series: http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-4428-Danny_Phantom.html is completely finished and is not coming back, those are the only cars featured in it, but is not on the site yet.
Hence why i have said new animated series that are continuing should not be added, but animated series that aren't there but are cancelled, finished, etc could be added.

I still disagree, I still do not see why we should not accept an new series. Only thing that we should do is to more quickly move vehicles to movie comments. For both existing or new series. As soon as few "serious" members of the site (or admins) say that it is not close enough to a real car (we'll always have occasional visitors who will find a model name for any drawing)

Only reason why discussions last is because the unknonwn cars stay on the series pages. I can't do everything, but the one who uploaded pictures or provided them can put them on movie page more quickly and (if not admin) request deletion of the unidentified vehicle page.
