I’m sure you’ve all been through this…

Sometimes you may not have an idea, but you still need to make that meeting. Fortunately, now there’s an easy way to be a “rock star.”
Spin the wheel, download your concept board, and seal the deal.

It’s here.. 

Glorious.

I really love the irony of this.
Big agencies not embracing the digital future and not giving any decent content outside of the “Flash” walled garden (we might be a little guilty I hasten to add).

&
Flash not working on iphone and ipads etc….

The consequence is that we have  2 walled gardens.

Liking this..

Turning a crisis into an opportunity
Reminds me of our Dr Evil idea..

It’s all about telling stories… rolling up your sleeves and getting tucked in.

This is the music viseo of “We Have Band – You Came Out” – Created by W+K creative team Ida Gronblom & Fabian Berglund and Blinkink director David Wilson.
The face paint animation film is made up of 4,816 separate stills. Each and every frame was hand-painted, shot, wiped off and redrawn, slightly differently for the next frame in order to create a seamless sequence. This time-consuming process involved the band members lying still for two consecutive days in a studio.

In order to animate the singing bit, lip movement was created by animating a painted mouth on the singer Dede. This involved breaking the lyrics into phonetics and giving each sound a specific mouth shape. To make this as realistic as possible all the mouth shapes were painted on Dedes face individually and then shot. All 4,816 frames of the music video can be found on Flickr.

Looking forward to seeing the new creations that come from these.

Being that I am working on a job for YouTube at the moment, it seems appropriate to post this. They have the most amazing statistics on usage.. for example if they were a country.. their population would put them 3rd on the map. China, India, YouTube… the United States follows. Now apparently they are more sociable.

YouTube has been getting more social lately, using activity feeds to make it easier to find cool videos and channels that your YouTube friends are favoriting, rating, subscribing to, etc. But what if all your friends aren’t on YouTube, but rather on social network / site XYZ?

It looks to be the All-In-One social desktop tool

For all of those out there who are nuts about this social-media thingy… Alert Thingy is the app for you. It just had an upgrade and as an AIR desktop application it does everything you want it to socially do. It supports Twitter, Flickr,  Friendfeed, Digg, YouTube, Facebook, Jaiku, Tumblr… blah, blah, blah. The list goes on..

Enjoy
