video of the day: coalition of the willing
‘Coalition of the Willing’ is a collaborative animated film and web-based event about an online war against global warming in a ‘post Copenhagen’ world.
‘Coalition of the Willing’ has been Directed and produced by Knife Party, written by Tim Rayner and crafted by a network of 24 artists from around the world using varied and eclectic [...]
@BBGUNfilm is my favorite music video director right now
The new J. Cole video absolutely sold me on dude and I’m mad curious what his rig looks like/what he shoots on. Check out the steadicam shots on both the J. Cole video and the Asher Roth video (i know, dude sucks, but the way they flip that old Lootpack LP is nice). And [...]
Video of the Day: Orbit branded video with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett
In the future there will be no commercials. Only branded 4-minute web videos starring comedians you already like. I will stop posting these kinds of branded videos when they stop making funny ones. On the industry-side, this piece was developed out of a partnership between Bateman and Arnett and Electus, the new, somewhat stealthy IAC-backed [...]
video of the day: Diddy/Aziz Ansari smooth off
This branded spot for Siroc pretty much speaks for itself.
@tvcarnage’s Let’s Work It Out is amazing, disturbing
Derek Beckles might be the greatest videoartist of our time. His pilot for Adult Swim was deemed too weird/offensive. For Adult Swim. his Frankenstein amalgams of 80s/90s vhs pretty much created an entire scene of weirdos scouting flea markets and garages sales for hard to find VHS gems. And his latest opus, “Let’s Work It [...]
GE crowdsources online marketing ideas
GE has just announced that they will be tapping the minds of creatives and want-to-be creatives everywhere to help them “avoid the lame”.
What I like about this is the fact that it’s not a Poptent(or Tongal, or Mofilm, or Filmmaka, et. al)- powered “make-us-a-viral-video campaign. It’s just an open call, from the social media department, [...]
Link: MediaFail – Digg, for mediawatchers who want to get depressed
I wont spend that much time on MediaFail, despite realizing that it’s intentions of calling out bad reporting, lack of reporting and just plain, old journalistic incompetence are very much needed. But yeah, while a lot of their shots at the inconsistencies and conservative bias’ of Fox News are fun to read, the more academic [...]
video of the day: write the future
Nike always understood how to connect their brand with the larger narratives of sports. This new, astonishing 3-minute commercial is the latest edition to the book of classic Nike, big-budget ads. Say what you want about Nike’s branded carpet-bombing of western culture, but game recognizes game and I defy anyone to watch this spot and [...]
Vice Launches The Creators Project (powered by Intel)
A multi-year project profiling various creative thought leaders from around the world. It’s a cool idea, but I wish I could have been in the room when Vice pitched this to Intel, cos it looks like it’s gonna cost some serious scratch and getting a brand like Intel on-board, with no real payoff is a [...]
Critique Our (potential) Kit
We’re deep in the process of researching for purchase a new production kit and I’m seriously leaning towards going in the Canon 7D direction. I have a wish list of different possibilities up at B&H here, and I’d love to get some feedback from our community. Alright, then. Holler, then.
@greenpeace crowdsources new logo for @BP_America
To all you bored graph designers who are enraged about the biggest ecological disaster in American history, Greenpeace has a fun way for you to creatively vent your anger: rebrand BP. They’re holding a contest to look for a more appropriate logo for the brand. Now, I don’t usually get down with Adbusters-ish concepts like [...]
@Radarmusicvideo Online Music Video Marketplace
THIS is a good idea. Radar is an online marketplace where up-and-coming music video directors can connect with bands and labels looking to source creative for theit songs. I’m curious to hear if anyone out there has gotten work through this, because it doesn’t seem like they have a ton of successful videos so far. [...]
video of the day: @conanobrien @google
Kill the Pandora station this while you work this afternoon and listen to Conan’s Q & A at Google last week. Add to the list why of why he will be remembered as a media icon for our generation.
@48hrmag: Innovation in Print!
I’m don’t subscribe to themediaisdying, anymore, because it isn’t. It’s changing. But the innovation needed to buoy it isn’t coming from print. For the most part. However, an exception to that sweeping generalization, I offer for your consideration 48 HR Magazine, a sort of collaborative, 48-hour-film festival for a print magazine. Each issue is conceived, [...]
who is the @ebertchicago of video games?
For those of you missed the ridiculoso internet hissy fit over Roger Ebert’s blog post last week about video games never meeting the criteria for art, allow me to paraphrase it for you:
Roger Ebert made a sober, slightly disconnected argument about interactive games not fitting into the most basic criteria for art (in response to [...]
@chrisbosh crowdsources his future
Chris Bosh is one of the most promising young stars in the NBA. Trouble is, he has been toiling away in semi-obscurity in the NBA’s equivalent of the witness protection program, the Toronto Raptors. This summer, however, he is becoming an restricted free agent and will be able to sign wherever he wants, for [...]
free documentary idea: Internet Addiction Rehab
Caught this story via PSFK about how a study where researchers took away students access to all forms of internet media a reported that “after 24 hours, several students showed signs of withdrawal, craving and anxiety, and were unable to function well without their media.”
They also cite this rehab clinic, which is so obviously [...]
video of the day: Creativity is Derivative
Cool video by Nina Paley, who, if you don’t recognize the name, was the creative force behind (and main character of) the animated film Sita Sings the Blues, which got into trouble when it was unable to use 30s-era jazz songs which made up the majority of the score. Nina was able to find self-distribution [...]
VidCon was real
