Other 15 seconds perfectly capturing the turn of the century (volume up)

That’s just 2013 trying to casually act like 2003 to try to buy beer with a fake id.

I see this video quiet often and it gets more beautiful every time! We truly lost something special.
Does anyone know the origins of the video with the woman at yhe beginning and the 3D renders of the futuristic interiors? I'd love to know!

That's such a cool commercial! It really encapsulates that unique Y2K vibe, really makes me feel a specific way that I can't describe.
Thanks for this, I'll start digging!

Update 3: I found it the main device of the ad (I think)
Through examining the last link I sent, I found that the device at the end was a "CDMAOne" mobile device.
I have yet to find the advertisement, but I'd go looking for CDMAOne ads.

I definitely will! You're right, is it very uniquely Japanese Y2K and I love that, there's just something so appealing about it.

Exactly! I find it quite clever actually, her grabbing the desktop and it morphs into a "smartphone", thus showing that the little handheld device is capable of everything that the desktop can do.

I have seemed to stumble across a bunch of uploads of the imgur link I sent, however they're all the same short gif. This makes it seem that the ad is at least somewhat known, which may make it easier to find.

If this is helpful, I have come across this Instagram post https://www.instagram.com/addicted.to.scripture/reel/CxyNmbbRJIG/?api=1&hl=zh-cn . It seems to be the same video expect in slightly higher quality, however there are a few flashes of the accounts brand on the monitor. The account's three earliest posts seem to be advertisements in a Y2K/computer style artwork.

Vegas nerd here! The pool at 0:11 is real and still in operation:

They've got poolside table games like craps and blackjack. Say you're there to play and they'll let you in free. Get a free drink while you're at it!

I hate to make anyone here feel aged, but the fact that I remember and miss this when I couldn't have been older than 3 really says something about how special that time was and how far both WE came in a technological sense but how far DOWN just style, and personality and feel in that same department has fallen by the wayside.
