In 2006 he directed the second Sony BRAVIA TV ad, which took 10 days and 250 people to film. It was filmed at an estate in Glasgow, and featured paint exploding all over the tower blocks.
In late 2006 Glazer was commissioned to make a television advert for the new Motorola Red phone. The ad, which features 2 naked black bodies emerging from a lump of flesh as they rotate on a potter's wheel was due to air in September 2006 but has since being shelved by Motorola. Motorola have since reportedly stated that the ad will "never see the light of day". However the ad was available on YouTube although it has been removed several times due to violation purposes. The ad was to benefit several charities in Africa.
