This video was made by Matti Niinimäki using the audio from the Anti-Advertising Agency Portable Sound Unit project. The audio has been re-purposed so that various animated corporate mascots speak frankly about how they feel about advertising.
When Sara Dierck, Michael Dodge, and I made the audio for this almost 4 years ago, we released it openly for anyone to use through a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial license. We wanted the audio to be available for other people to use. This video is just the kind of thing we were hoping for.
