HBO promove “Game Of Thrones” cortando cabeças no Facebook

Sabe aquele seu amigo que você gostaria de cortar a cabeça? Eu não tenho nenhum, quer dizer…

De qualquer forma, a HBO criou um app no Facebook justamente para isso, mas você também tem que colocar o seu pescoço em jogo.

Você tira uma foto sua através da webcam e escolhe um “amigo” para desafiar. Aleatoriamente, os amigos em comum de ambos são selecionados para formar o júri. Eles tem então 3 horas para decidir quem vive.

Após a votação, é apresentado um vídeo com o resultado, com uma perspectiva em primeira pessoa. Eu escolhi o Cris Dias, mas só porque foi ele que mandou a dica do aplicativo (ou não).

A criação é da BBDO New York para promover a segunda temporada – e o lançamento em blu-ray da primeira – de “Game Of Thrones”.

Wes Anderson criou e dirigiu nova campanha da Sony para o Xperia [Teaser]

Eu adoro teaser de cinema, mas olho torto quando isso é feito para campanhas publicitárias. Deveria atiçar a curiosidade, mas frequentemente me parece pretensão demais querer que as pessoas marquem dia e hora para assistir um comercial.

De todos que me chegam, publico poucos aqui no B9. Esse da Sony para o lançamento do novo Xperia eu poderia até ignorar, mas os caras me colocaram o Wes Anderson pra criar e dirigir.

Perguntaram para diversas crianças como seria o smartphone mais legal do mundo, e baseado nessas ideias malucas o diretor – de “Os Excêntricos Tenenbaums”, “A Vida Marinha Com Steve Zissou, “O Fantastico Sr. Raposo”, entre outros – vai criar o comercial.

O teaser destaca o trabalho manual da produção, com 9 cenários, 37 modelos feitos à mão e 10 mil horas de trabalho. Chamada de “Made of Imagination”, A campanha estreia no dia 24 de março.

Tá bom Sony, dessa vez você conseguiu. Marquei na agenda para não esquecer.
