No Knives, Better Lives - the latest advert from the Leith Agency
I really like the new advert against knife crime by the Leith Agency.
The use of graffiti art to tie the message to youth culture works well, beautifully animated, great story telling and the music works wonderfully.
My only criticism would be how closely it resembles its influence, I have added some of the artist BLU's work below.
Its a great chance to show his work, have a look on you tube, its fantastic stuff.
UPDATE: Leith Contacted BLU and received his approval for this piece, nicely done

Thanks for the post Dave.For the record, we (the Leith Agency) contacted Muto before making this film, and got his approval. We even tried to interview him for the 'making of' film too, but this never quite happened.
Glad you like it!
