Another piece on knife crime...

I am always it cautious about celebrating the creativity in charity ads, just because in theory it should be easy to do great work as they have something genuine to talk about... anyhow, I just think that this one has been shot really beautifully an deserves recognition of that...

SO another big step forward in the real world / digital world mix.. this time from NIKE78.

NIKE 78 is a competition whereby NIKE have asked creative types to take a pair of their trainers and 'challenge the[ir] function'... this is interesting but not my point. The point is in this video submission...

I walked into my local Tesco garage last night... and was confronted by this sign.

I couldn't help ask myself - In what way are Tesco an official sponsor of the World Cup?? Are they going to send poor quality sandwiches to our boys in SA. Don't think so.

Or, as I looked closer, are they just saying that they are officially a supermarket?? Something we've know for some time. Either way, very, very flakey.

I tried my hardest not to like this but... damn it, I can't help myself!

A hopelessly corny 'catch phrase' but a way of thinking that I think resonates... The power of 'Live-vertising'
http://creativity-online.com/news/the-power-of-livevertising/144131

i do like this... simple idea, well executed...

these guys are bloody brilliant....

the ipad... yes please... reassured by this well thought out piece (and yes it resonates because i am a parent)...

it's YouTube's 5th birthday today... and here's the first posted video... not very profound, hardly a 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.' moment!

Get the most out of YouTube... although some of the links on the annotations are knackered and the related videos don't run in sequence... ho hum

Always like a bit of digital taken into the real world... however I wonder, (a thought sparked off by the urban grime tune in the background), have they considered the gang land street divides? Wouldn't want to run through another gang's patch only to get shanked.

Someone asked me last night, whether or not I was going to get an iPad... and to be honest I hadn't given it much thought, sure they look great and there's a tonne of stuff you can do with them, they will be a paradigm shift for how we entertain ourselves, learn and communicate etc, but I got a fuck load of other things to spend my cash on at the moment... however after seeing this the answer is Yes, Yes, Yes!

Why is it that when you're waiting at a bus stop, nothing comes along for ages and along come 3... we've al heard/said this before. Well last night I saw no fewer that 17 buses... yes 17 buses, (albeit not all the same number)

He could be a self serving showman, but no one could doubt his creative flare and drive which had a massive impact on music, fashion and uk culture not to mention me as a small kid brought up in the tedium of the home counties.... Malcolm Maclaren.

It is good that Nike are staying with Tiger after all of his craziness, but I think that this ad will only be regarded a success if Tiger goes on to win the open or at least finish in a top spot...

This is bloody brilliant... attach an image, video, comment to any product that has a bar code on it for others to see and add to.

Now, the activist in me thinks that this would be a great way of bombing unethical products, alerting potential customers to the origins and production cycle of environmentally damaging items.

Or alternatively, the socialist in me would say that this would be a great way for the government to attach health ratings to food items for example.

Or even, the advertiser in me would attach freebies, branded content, details of provenance, etc to the product. Anything that would enhance a products appeal beyond what it's specific benefit/purpose is.

From art film, to TV ad, to music video

I know we've all seen this sort of thing before - Fischli and Weiss, Der Lauf Der Dinge (The Way Things Go) video 1987 and the Honda ad, in 2003 but this really has taken it up a level - the synchronisation of audio with the flow of events, not to mention the camera work and direction is brilliant...
