I was thinking the other day about all the technological advances that happened with dolls when I was a kid: the kind with the hair you could cut that grows back, or the one whose hair changed colour when you ran a cold hairbrush through it, or — my personal favourite — the one that pissed into a changeable cloth diaper! after suckling real fluid from a bottle.

Art Copy – the film

The film is called “Art & Copy”, I copied the synopsis below. The film explores the advertising and design industry and looks at campaigns that have transformed the world of advertising over the years. It opens in select cities on August 21.

Synopsis
ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising’s “creative revolution” of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for “Just Do It,” “I Love NY,” “Where’s the Beef?,” “Got Milk,” “Think Different,” and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion.
