Check out this ad that was shot entirely on an iPhone 5

The 30-second ad was shot by Dublin based advertising agency Rothco.

DUBLIN-BASED ADVERTISING AGENCY Rothco have brought a little something different to their latest ad.

Their 30-second advertisement for AIB’s mobile banking app shows a portion of a train journey as it passes Dublin’s Custom House, crosses the Liffey and enters Tara Street station.
