Not just good, not just great, they&#8217;ve been knocking it out of the park each and every time. For proof, check out past awesomeness <a href="https://shapeandcolour.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/monstercom-legs/"><span style="color:#ff6600;">&#8220;Legs&#8221;</span></a> and <a href="https://shapeandcolour.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/monstercom-daybreak/"><span style="color:#33cccc;">&#8220;Daybreak&#8221;</span></a>.</p>
<p>The continue kicking ass and taking names with &#8220;Stork&#8221;. Showing true range, they&#8217;ve revealed yet another facet to the &#8220;Your Calling is Calling&#8221; campaign. While &#8220;Legs&#8221; was entertaining and comic, &#8220;Daybreak&#8221; was cinematic and epic, the beauty of &#8220;Stork&#8221; is in it&#8217;s simplicity and the honesty of its core idea. The nature of the beginning of the spot is wide-sweeping, but the feel of the entire thing is thoroughly intimate. The quality of the 3D work from UK shop <a href="http://www.framestore.com"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Framestore </span></a>is ridiculous.</p>
<p>At the end, I felt chills up my back and my face felt flushed. When I react to something physically first, it&#8217;s always a good sign. It means the idea went right into me and I didn&#8217;t have to mentally think about it. No time was wasted here: I was drawn in from the first second and the final question it poses is salient and universal. If this spot doesn&#8217;t make you think twice and analyze your own life, even a  little, then you&#8217;re not ready for a real job yet.</p>
