Copenhagen Life Cycle by Biomega


At long last here's the commercial I made for the Danish bike brand Biomega.

Biomega's classic Danish design bicycles, iconic Cycling Girls and the city that Biomega calls home: Copenhagen. Work with this holy urban trinity and your work is half-done before you start.

There are two different bicycles in the film. The 'Amsterdam' from Biomega's classic line and the Puma Pico, from their upcoming series for Puma. They're launching in Europe and the rest of the world shortly.

We're selling bicycles, of course, but we're also selling urban cycling as lifestyle, as practical transport and as a social tool for city life.

Cycling has been effortless and gorgeous for over 120 years and will be for centuries to come.

Copenhagen. Life. Cycle. by Biomega
Director: Mikael Colville-Andersen

Lovely!

Refreshingly authentic commercial. And I love how she is "saying" Biomega in the end. It makes you say it out loud to yourself. If that was your mission, consider it accomplished. :-) Sandra

I envy their bike lifestyle. The music is great as well.

The piano sounded a bit like "Good Time" by Crystal Castles. Pleasant commercial.

I'm going to guess that some of it was filmed using the GoPro HD Hero.

I wonder what an L.A. Biomega ad would look like? Perhaps I'd better get to filming!
