Xbox, twofifteenmccann Fly Interactive Fizzie Balloon at E3

Fizzie, a character in the upcoming game Sunset Overdrive from developer Insomniac Games, made an appearance at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in the form of a large, interactive balloon flying in the lobby at the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 10th – June 12th.

Brought to life by Xbox and twofifteenmccann, Fizzie takes questions from the E3 crowd, offering up invariably sarcastic answers. In Sunset Overdrive, Fizzie “is a talking balloon that hovers over Sunset City and is the cheery face of the Fizzco Corporation while acting as the perfect corporate shill.” So what better place for Fizzie to make an appearance than the largest trade show in the video game industry, rife with event marketers attempting to woo customers and media alike. If you’re not lucky enough to make it to E3 this year, you can still keep up with Fizzie’s antics on Twitter via the hashtag #FizzieSays. For footage of Fizzie in action, check out the video above, and stick around after the jump for credits. continued…

sloppy_cannes.jpg

Our friends over at Trust Collective have put together Sloppy Cannes, a site on which anything tagged with #sloppycannes will appear. Here’s your chance to be famous! Just by being drunk or stupid and posting about it. Which, pretty much, everyone does anyway when they’re in Cannes.

Oh but Trust Collective doesn’t just want to embarrass you. They want to reward you for your sloppiness. The winner of the most embarrassing/sloppiest Cannes moment will, yes, win an iPad Mini!

This is my annual excuse to post this picture.

Will People Pay for Paula Deen Digital TV Network?


t’s been a year since Paula Deen fell from grace after admitting to using racial slurs. Now the celebrity chef is looking to make a comeback online.

But are viewers ready to put the scandal behind them, and more importantly, will they pay up to watch her deep-frying and butter-slathering on a digital-only network?

Despite the fallout from last summer’s controversy, which resulted in Ms. Deen losing her show on Food Network and multiple product endorsements, plenty of fans have stuck by her.

Bic quer criar uma tipografia universal baseada em letra de mão

O desenho de cada uma das letras do alfabeto é feito de jeitos diferentes dependendo de onde você foi alfabetizado, o tipo de profissão que seguiu, gênero e até se é canhoto ou destro.

Pensando em trazer essas letras ‘analógicas’ para o ambiente digital, a Bic, em parceria com a DDB Düsseldorf e a MediaMonks, decidiu fazer um curioso experimento: querem criar uma tipografia universal, com base na grafia das letras de pessoas do mundo todo.

Para isso, a marca está pedindo que os usuários enviem exemplos de sua grafia em letra de mão para o site theuniversaltypeface.com, onde as amostras serão analisadas e utilizadas na confecção da nova fonte universal, que deverá ser lançada em agosto.

handwriting-letra-de-mao-bic-fonte-paises

No site, também é possível ver como é o estilo de escrita mais comum em diferentes países, para diferentes profissões, gêneros, e qual a diferença de grafia entre destros e canhotos, evidenciando que a letra de mão é algo único e bastante pessoal no mundo todo.

As amostras enviadas pelos usuários serão analisadas e utilizadas na confecção da nova fonte universal, que deverá ser lançada em agosto.

“Existem poucas coisas que são mais pessoais do que a sua própria letra. Então pensamos que seria um experimento legal se pudéssemos ver como trazer esse estilo pessoal para algo mais global”, explica Dennis May, da DDB Düsseldorf, em entrevista ao Digiday.

É engraçado, contudo, que o experimento não use –pasme!- uma Bic para isso. No site, os colaboradores podem desenhar a letra usando o mouse ou através de dispositivos com touchscreen, como smartphones e tablets. Ainda assim, o resultado pode sair bem diferente daquele que seria obtido com um lápis ou caneta.

Até o momento, mais de 35 mil pessoas de 28 países já enviaram suas amostras de letra de mão para o site.

Acho legal que uma marca que é fundada em um conceito analógico, como a escrita manual, possa mostrar que é possível mesclar antigo com novo e trazer dados interessantes desse tipo de experimento.

E pensar que a Bic de tubinho amarelo já é quase um produto retrô, hein?

Night Agency Puts Space on Your Face for Kiehl’s

Night Agency has a new online video for Kiehl’s that aims to gain attention for the brand’s men’s personal care products.

For the video, Night Agency attached a tube of Kiehl’s Oil Eliminator moisturizer “to a weather balloon that rises 23 miles in the air…fitted with cameras that showed the facial lotion hovering in space with the curvature of the Earth behind it,” reports the New York Times. A parachute was then deployed for the craft’s descent back to Earth. The craft spent about three hours in the air, before being retrieved by a team, which tracked the vehicle with GPS, around 90 miles away in a Pennsylvania field. After retrieving the bottle of moisturizer the team proceeds to apply it, thus putting space on their face.

“There’s a really limited subset of guys that read grooming blogs, and we absolutely want to be in those,” said Night Agency Executive Creative Director Evan Slater. “But we wanted to make sure that we were getting coverage from things like Popular Science and getting into the popular male conversation outside of the grooming world.”

The video itself ups the cheese factor on the stunt, with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor exemplified by the “Face: The final frontier” text which opens the video. Cheesiness aside, “How To: Put Space on Your Face” is worth the 2:30 view time if you’re curious as to how exactly the Night Agency team pulled off the stunt. You can check it out above, and we’ve got credits after the jump. continued…

Durex aposta na sensualidade das mãos em novo filme da linha Real Feel

Se você duvida que as mãos podem ser incrivelmente sensuais, é porque ainda não viu o novo filme da linha Real Feel, da Durex. Criado pela Leo Burnett de Kuala Lumpur, Touch se propõe a mostrar que o produto proporciona uma sensação de pele-sobre-pele.

O comercial segue uma linha bem diferente daquela animação que mostramos por aqui em abril, que era muito mais explícita e também lembrava bastante o clipe Take on Me, do A-ha. A ideia aqui é mostrar a beleza e sensualidade do toque, que não precisa necessariamente  ter uma conotação sexual.

E tem mais: aqui é possível conferir uma versão interativa do filme acima, exclusiva para smartphones.
