Attention Ad people: Think of a brand that would fit these type of photo videos, throw in a logo at the end with some line about making problems small or we have everything in perspective (i’m not a write as you can see) and you’re golden. Oh and pick a brand that’s in an industry that’s usually dry like the finance industry.

This Tilt Shift effect has been done a fair but with stills but this is really the first time it’s been done in video. It’s an effect that once it’s used once it loses it’s appeal. And there isn’t much else that hasn’t already been done. We all know that super slow mo has been done to death.
So has light drawing.
Stop motion too.
Anything else I’ve missed?
Attention CSI writers. Real life is stranger than fiction and the two following examples involving Criagslist prove this.
From Cnet just last week. Man robs Armoured truck and uses decoys dressed as himself recruited via Criagslist to be around the scene as he escapes. He escapes via an inner tube down the river! They may have been filming a new season of Prison Break 🙂 Another link here with a video.
I love this story! Can you imagine pulling this off but not being able to tell anyone!
And this one from March 2008 where an ad announced the contents of a house were “free for all” as the owner had to leave suddenly. The owner returns early to find 30 people taking stuff from his house!
I love this too. It’s like the ultimate prank and cost’s nothing.
I remember when for Mission Impossible 3 they were running their Easter Egg hunt / ARG (info here) and one code was hidden on Craigslist. I posted an entry to my blog at the most obvious spot (but the wrong answer) and got heaps a traffic. It got taken down 2 days later. Not exactly at the same level of these guys but an example of how you can easily hijack a promotion running on social networks.
Are there other examples of this in which a social network has been used in a nefarious way? I was going to try and claim the term Crime 2.0 but it’s already been used. Here’s one blog which sums up what I’m thinking.
“I’m just waiting for reports of shrewd criminals that monitor Twitter, Jaiku or Facebook to see reports like “I’m going out of town for the weekend. Ciao” and use the information to break into some poor geek’s house. It wouldn’t take a genious, that’s for sure.”
So keep that in mind when you next tweet that the people following you might be doing so for the wrong reasons.
The Times of India, which by some is considered a reputable newspaper, have happily made a practice of printing copyrighted images without the rights holders permission. It gets better, they defend this with; ..it is common practice to “use” free images from the net.
The photographer whose work was printed in the Times of India tells the full Story here:
When I asked TOI for compensation, I was told that they will pay what they pay to their own photographers, which is a grand sum of 250 INR. I am tired of using this word repeatedly, but yet again, I was shocked and told the editor to keep this princely sum with herself. I was then offered 1500 INR as a “last offer” since this picture had been taken and used without my permission (such euphemism for THEFT). Just who the hell is TOI to decide compensation for MY piece of work?
