Santa Monica, CA-based Elias Arts brings a dose of classic Hollywood sound to flee a freak drone invasion in the pulse-quickening :60 “The Drones” for Audi out of Venables Bell & Partners. The spot, which harkens back to “The Birds,” finds a gathering of wary coworkers, fearfully prepping to make their way out of their office to face an unexplainable gathering of drones hovering above. There is a brief moment of stillness, then the robotic vehicles viciously dash towards the group from all angles, leaving a wake of terror, as only one man confidently escapes in his Audi. Elias delivered the ominous track to amplify the mechanized chase.
