Because they're better at bruin things up?

5 min, too long!

Awesome. Thumbs up ANZ.

5 min, too long!

Hmm, it's only 4 minutes 28 seconds long so you'd like a minus 32 second long video?

Way better than the cricket video currently on Qantas.

Cricket is 4m06sec (and the last 20sec of the ANZ one is not stictly needed if you want to save the 20sec difference)....

Not comparing it to QF. Just when i watched it, seemed to drag on.

This isn't bad but I prefer NZ's Hobbit and All Blacks videos.

Bare bear or beer? Whichever one, it's better than cricket!

Different mindset, from the top down probably, through PR and marketing...

I doubt ANZ's CEO is talking the airline (at least its international arm) down at every AGM and press conference, so probably helps to lighten the mood and increase the fun and creative parts of the airline...

Whether you like Bear Grylls or not, that video is an absolute cracker.

Funny, entertaining, informative, captivating.

Easily the best in flight safety video I've seen. (Not that there's a long list of good ones...)

Does NZ actually use these videos in flight?

Hope it arrives before Monday. I've got 14 flights already booked in March and I'm sick to death of it.

I'm flying NZ next week, will be a nice change.

 

[RooFlyer]

Absolutely brilliant. Guaranteed to get the most jaded flyer to have a look.

 

[whatmeworry]

I believe it all has to do with corporate culture, this is why NZ brings out great flight safety video's. QF management has too many hang ups to make a good inflight video.

Yes! Even the Hobbit one got old quick hearing it several times over a 3 day trip to NZ

If it's better than the Hobbit one than I may even look forward to it.

The weirdest one featured Richard Simmons and a lot of different shaped FA's doing aerobics in lurid leotards ... :shock:
