Actress Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones, The Last of Us) comes to the rescue–with the help of Apple Intelligence as her iPhone 16 Pro whips up a video remembrance of a child’s dearly departed pet, Swimmy the fish.
The personal context provided by Apple Intelligence thus relieves an adult, presumably the girl’s father, from the responsibility of fashioning a eulogy he’s clearly ill-equipped to deliver. In fact, he can’t even remember the beloved pet’s name, referring to Swimmy as “Fishy.”
David Shane of production company O Positive directed and Oscar-winning (Mank) cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt lensed the three-spot campaign starring Ramsey, including this :45 centered on Apple Intelligence’s capacity for creating custom memory movies.
The spots from agency TBWAMedia Arts Lab in L.A. and Sydney, appear on broadcast, YouTube, online video, cinema in select markets, and social media.

OMC, Director Andreas Nilsson Trade “Youth” For Skittles
Teaming with creative agency partner OMC, consisting of DDB Chicago and Critical Mass, Skittles rolled out a campaign to playfully spotlight what is often dubbed “Gen Z’s commitment paralysis” by asking them to commit to their love for the brand in the most extreme ways possible. Case in point is this spot titled “Youth,” directed by Andreas Nilsson of Biscuit Filmworks. The film introduces us to a grandson who willingly gives up his youth to his grandma in exchange for her delicious fruity Skittles. It’s a unique and twisted take on commitment that perfectly embodies the Skittles brand. Colin Selikow, chief creative officer, DDB Chicago, said, “We’re thrilled to create another iteration of our ‘Verb the Rainbow. Taste the Rainbow’ platform, bringing a new way to connect with Gen Z in the absurd fashion Skittles is famous for. Our latest film “Youth” brings a classic Skittles vibe to a new generation of fans, giving them the most nonsensical way to commit to the brand.” Read More
