McDonald’s Viral Time Lapse Coffee Ad

Here’s an interesting advertisement created for McDonald’s free coffee promotion that’s running from November 16-29 in Canada. It was shot using three Canon 5D Mark II cameras and took 660 liters (~175 gallons) of coffee.

This reminded me of the Mona Lisa recreation done for the The Rocks Aroma Festival in Sydney, Australia. That display took 3,604 cups (~225 gallons) of coffee, and 564 pints of milk.

What’s with using coffee for art these days?


This is the second time-lapse video we’ve posted on this week. Sorry for the onslaught of time-lapse videos!
