iOscars, um festival online só para vídeos feitos com iPhone 4

iOscars

Lembra do curta filmado e editado no iPhone 4, publicado aqui há algumas semanas? Muita gente reclamou nos comentários dizendo que outros smartphones já filmam em HD faz tempo, sem contar as Flip’s e Kodak’s da vida.

Isso é verdade. Mas a questão não é apenas filmar em HD, e sim editar direto do celular. E a grande coisa aqui é que o iPhone 4 vem com iMovie: o software de edição em que basta ter um dos olhos funcionando para saber usar.

Pensando nisso, a agência Freedom + Partners criou o iOscars, um festival online de filmes inteiramente realizados com o iPhone. Você envia o seu vídeo e as pessoas votam nos melhores. Já tem vários cadastrados lá, inclusive um clipe musical.

Até que ponto o real e o virtual se complementam?

Até que ponto o real agrega valor ao virtual, e vice-versa? Ser pertinente, nessas horas, é fundamental.

Em um esforço para tornar a Kmart mais relevante para o público jovem, os executivos da varejista norte-americana decidiram lançar uma iniciativa focando a comunidade de gamers.

Um convite foi feito para que os gamers possam escrever comentários sobre jogos, no site MyKmart.com. Os trechos dos melhores comentários/reviews serão adesivados nas prateleiras das lojas físicas, ao lado dos próprios jogos.

Não acredito que a iniciativa venha a atrair novos consumidores: gamers, jovens ou qualquer outro perfil que seja.

De verdade, imagino que esta ação só seria mesmo interessante se fosse realizada para chamar a atenção sobre o novo departamento de games da Kmart.

You Wouldn’t Cheap Out on Your Office, So Don’t Do It on Your Website


Your website is ostensibly your biggest office or storefront. Think real estate: Would you cheap out building your headquarters, manufacturing plant, distribution center, customer service center, or store? And yet, a website can be all of these.

Linkin Park revela capa de novo álbum pixel a pixel através do Twitter

Linkin Park

Além de tocar no SWU no dia 11 de outubro, o Linkin Park irá lançar seu novo álbum, intitulado “A Thousand Suns”, no dia 14 de setembro.

Para revelar a capa do disco, a banda está pedindo para que os fãs escrevam no Twitter com a tag #athousandsuns. Para cada tweet, um pixel da arte é revelado.

O Jack Johnson e o Pearl Jam já fizeram ações similares, oferecendo música em troca de um tweet, mas nessa é preciso mais do que o próprio esforço para receber a “recompensa”.

Comic-Con 2010: Foursquare oferece badge do Superman

Ontem falei aqui das ações do Gowalla na Comic-Con 2010, que começou hoje. Um monte de badges legais e benefícios para quem fizer checkin através da ferramenta.

O Foursquare também preparou algo especial para o evento. Não tem nenhum desconto ou algo que o valha, mas quem precisa de mais quando se pode ter uma badge do Superman?

Bem, você pode ainda ganhar alguma coisa no estande da Warner Bros., que está colaborando com a ação. Vale para todo mundo que der checkin na Comic-Con. Só não vale trapacear.

‘Mad Men’ Returns, Smoke Clears, and Things Still Aren’t What They Seem (Maybe)


Come their fourth season, most critically venerated dramas start to chafe against the inevitable backlash. To keep things "fresh," they add and subtract actors willy-nilly, leave some plot lines untended and steer others on walkabouts, and manufacture entanglements that betray years of careful character development. They get desperate, then they get pissy and didactic about it.
