Reality’s Place in Marketing
Posted in: UncategorizedThe New York Times is looking at the rise of “off-air reporters” armed with video cams on the campaign trail.
Originally hired to cut expenses — their cost is a fraction of a full television crew’s — these reporters, also called “embeds,†have produced a staggering amount of content, especially video. And in this election cycle, for the first time, they are able to edit and transmit video on the fly.
As a result, the embeds have changed the dynamic of this year’s election, making every unplugged and unscripted moment on the campaign trail available for all to see. One particular video shot of American flags tilting over behind Hillary Rodham Clinton last November has been viewed more than 300,000 times on the ABC News Web site. A video of the Fox News host Bill O’Reilly shoving a member of Barack Obama’s staff at a New Hampshire campaign rally has drawn almost 150,000 views on YouTube.
There’s a lesson here for Madison Avenue. Unscripted, off the cuff moments have a genuine appeal. So much so people will seek this kind of content out and share it with their friends, as I’m doing now.
How DIY is your shop seems like an increasingly important question in a mediascape that needs to be fed mass quantities of video.

The Future Of 1967
Posted in: UncategorizedAaaaages ago, when the ‘pc on every desktop’ meme still had to be dreamed of and DOS wasn’t coded yet, a company named the Philco-Ford Corporation launched a pretty foreseeing prototype video of the technology they would see arrive in the homes of people. Philco-Ford was funny enough an aeronautical company, but the devices they’ve placed in the living room or in dad’s home office look a lot like the ones you’d see in the early Bond movies. Despite the age of the movie, things like online shopping, home surveillance, automated backups and online payments were already being discussed. The movie is estimated to be of 1967. Enjoy the flashback.

Because Robots Deserve Happy Endings Too
Posted in: Uncategorized
Mandy sent us another video of the dancing yellow robot from those Carnegie Mellon promotions we saw. It’s strange in a meet-the-new-cult-on-the-block kind of way, but the story ends in fame, glory and success.

Andy Ducett + Derek Kirk Kim + Hidetsugu Murakami
Posted in: Uncategorized
- Andy Ducett est un artiste (peintre, collage, installation, etc… bref de l’art plastique
) - Ce qui m’intéresse c’est les illustrations, mais le reste est assez sympa à voir et ça change de mes habituels illustrateurs
- Derek Kirk Kim est un dessinateur de BD et illustrateur. J’aime pas mal le style, mais moyennement les histoires >_>
- Il mélange dessin papier et photoshop (ce qu’on appelle généralement du mixed media)
- Hidetsugu Murakami est un designer freelance japonais spécialisé dans la vidéo. Le resultat est détonant.
- Son site est bien aussi, il est passé dans le FWA quand même
