When Sony launched the Playstation 2, they commisioned David Lynch to create two commercials for their Third Place campaign to be shown across Europe, in theaters and on television in some markets. I’m not quite sure if these were ever broadcast in the US or Canada, I certainly never remember seeing them on television. The commercials were shot in 2 days in 2000, with Lynch using the back of an envelope to check his list of shots and only taking a maximum of 2 takes per shot. Lynch worked with long-time collaborators Scott Dillups as camera operator, DOP, post production and John Neff to craft the sound design.

Watch both commercials after the jump…
