Hasta La Creative!

Yes yes, I know that you’ve already seen it and I apologise forbeing late to post this poster, it was the “new Burma viral vid” post by timwhirledge in the forums that kicked my tush, there’s more to this story than just a poster and a film.

The filmmakers from creative production company Shilo (www.shilo.tv) recently collaborated with an extraordinary group of individuals and organizations to create a powerful animated :90 public service announcement (PSA). The piece, entitled “Burma Viral,” uses footage of warplanes bombing Burma with flowers as a dramatic call-to-action, inviting viewers to visit a new Burma Arts Board website, noneofusarefree.org, where they can send messages of support to the people of Burma in honor of their continuing struggles against the notorious practices of their oppressive military government, learn more about the devastating effects caused by the recent cyclone, and find ways to contribute to relief efforts.
