Websérie da Renault no Facebook acompanha revanche de Anderson Silva

No próximo sábado, 28 de dezembro, a luta principal do UFC 168 tem gosto de revanche: Anderson Silva enfrentará novamente seu algoz Chris Weidman, em Las Vegas.

Em uma websérie exclusiva para o Facebook, chamada #ItsTime, a Renault mostra a preparação do lutador brasileiro em busca de “vingança”. Até o momento já foram liberados dois episódios, de um total de cinco. Assista abaixo ou direto na fanpage da marca.

A criação é uma parceria do Facebook Brasil, com as agências Neogama, Digitas e Riot e usa imagens exclusivas do lutador captadas durante 2013 por seu fotógrafo oficial Anderson Zaca.

Vale lembrar que, bem antes de qualquer um sequer imaginar que Anderson Silva poderia perder um dia, a Budweiser acompanhou o lutador com uma série chamada “Champion Experience”. Porém, agora a Renault aproveita mais o formato, desenvolvendo storytelling, em vez de meros testemunhais.

A série será encerrada com Anderson Silva respondendo após a luta as perguntas dos fãs na sua página do Facebook.

Creativity Best of 2013: Boston Magazine Marathon Cover, Heineken’s Departure Roulette


Creativity continues its countdown of 2013’s best moves in brand creativity across film and TV, print and design and interactive and integrated campaigns. See our picks for No. 10 in each category here. Our No. 9 picks are here. Today it’s time for No. 8.

Moving from emotion to adventure, the No. 8 spot for interactive/integrated work this year belongs to Heineken. The brand has been playing around with its “Open Your World” tagline a lot this year, daring customers to go beyond their comfort zones. But its best execution perhaps was “Departure Roulette,” an extension of its “Dropped” campaign that dropped people off in strange locales and got them to find their way home. “Departure Roulette,” from Heineken and Wieden & Kennedy New York, let travelers coming into Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport change their destination to somewhere unexpected. The only condition was that they had to go right then and there.

Museu de design permite visualização de obras por cores

Enquanto passa por renovações, o museu nacional de design Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt, localizado em Nova York, lançou a versão beta de um site que pode ser bastante útil para os designers ao redor do mundo. Com um banco de dados que representa quase 80% de sua coleção, é possível navegar e visualizar as obras a partir de categorias tradicionais, como períodos, país, pessoas, exibições e, agora, cores.

O site tem passado por constante atualização, ampliando a porcentagem de obras catalogadas, assim como o grid de cores reconhecido – atualmente, são 118. O trabalho, entretanto, ocorre de maneira lenta, uma vez que apenas uma pequena fração da coleção do Cooper-Hewitt conta com imagens.

A catalogação dos objetos é feita a partir de cinco cores representativas – ou seja, que sejam predominantes na obra. A seleção destas cores é feita por computadores e classificados de acordo com a paleta CSS3, o que facilita a navegação.

Mandela Sculpture by Marco Cianfanelli

L’artiste Marco Cianfanelli a imaginé l’année dernière cette sculpture en l’honneur de Nelson Mandela. Une superbe installation composée de 50 colonnes d’acier découpées au laser, dessinant au loin le visage de Madiba installé à KwaZulu-Natal, là où il a été arrêté en 1963. Plus de détails dans la suite.

Caffeination, uma websérie para apaixonados por café

O que torna uma xícara de café perfeita? A pergunta é o ponto de partida para Caffeination, uma websérie dividida em sete episódios criada pela The Pancake Epidemic, com direção e edição de Jesse Meeker e apresentação do especialista em café Brandon Davenport.

Se você é apaixonado por café, é provável que tenha uma ou várias respostas para a pergunta acima, mas Meeker e Davenport resolveram partir por uma viagem pelos Estados Unidos – com paradas em San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, Missoula, Idaho Falls, Cheyenne, Boulder e La Verkin – para conhecer melhor a produção de café no país. 

De qualquer maneira, vale a pena dar uma olhada nos vídeos abaixo. Especialmente para ver se, no final das contas, Brandon Davenport consegue cumprir seu desafio pessoal de beber 100 xícaras de café ao longo da viagem (e não ter um ataque cardíaco).

Space Bruce

Um ornitorrinco com aspirações de se tornar um astronauta e aventurar-se pelo espaço sideral é o mote de Space Bruce, uma divertida animação assinada por Mehdi Louala, Eva Navaux e Gabrielle Locre. E se alguma coisa tem a mais remota chance de dar errado, com certeza dará, como diz a Lei de Murphy. Para azar de Bruce, mas nossa sorte, é aí que está a graça.

O que chama a atenção nesta animação, entretanto, é o cuidado estético, com belíssimos efeitos visuais. É o tipo de projeto que dá gosto assistir.

Creativity Best of 2013: Kmart’s Sophormoric-but-Successful Viral Hit and More


Creativity is finishing off 2013 by counting down the year’s best moves in brand creativity across three categories — TV and film, print and design, and interactive and integrated campaigns. We began yesterday with No. 10 in each category. Here are our No. 9’s.

How could a “best of the year” rundown be complete in 2013 without Kmart’s “Ship My Pants”? DraftFCB made brilliant use of sophomoric humor to create one of the year’s biggest cultural moments from the ad world, which comes in at No. 9 in the TV/film category. It all began with “Ship My Pants,” although the gag later extended to “Big Gas Savings” and “Ship My Trousers,” too.

Some of the best work this year was from brands that listened to their consumers, closely. The best example of this perhaps was McDonald’s Australia.
