Advertising Dollars

Here's a pretty cool revamped Coke Commercial by Psyop. Sucks about the advertising, good inspiration nonetheless.

Coke: Happiness Factory: The Movie

Posted Yesterday

Coke reprises its popular ad from last year with an even more adventurous tale of what happens when you slide your money into the vending machine.

Chemical Bros Fish

Seems that Pablo's very own Store that sells Frames has just completed a very cool video clip for the Chemical Bros. Couple of former animals involved by the looks of it, Mike Mellor as an anim lead and Ben Falcone as a TD.

No! No, no, not 10! I said 11. Nobody's comin' up with 10. Who animates in 10 seconds? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.

That - good point.

11's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 11 doors. 11, man, that's the number. 11 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.

Why?

'Cause you're fuckin' fired!

Slow News

Anyone seen a good movie lately?

Here's a link to Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Movie. Weird? Yes it is.

The Bohmian and Commercial Success

Was just talking to Christian and DP about transformers the other night. Dp was saying how the movie prayed on the current American (western) ideology. "To get the fast car, great looking chick and destroy the enemy.... yeah!!!" :)

Anyway I was reading this book by a philosopher Alain De Botton called Status Anxiety. It has this chapter on the Bohemian culture, a culture which tends to put feelings and art at the pinnacle of life. They also tend worship suicidal artists so it's not everyone's cup of tea, however I think this quote has some truth to it...

"According to the bourgeois ideology, a financial or critical failure in business or the arts must function as a significant indictment of one's character, given the ideology's accompanying assumption that society is essentially fair in distributing it's rewards.

But Bohemians have refused such punitive interpretation of outward failure by focusing on how often the world is governed by idiocy and prejudice. Given human nature, they reasoned that those who succeed in society will rarely be the wisest or the best, they will be those who can pander most effectively to the flawed values of their audiences. There may indeed - bohemians have suggested - be no more damning sign of a person's ethical and imaginative limitation that a capacity for commercial success."

Transformers anyone?
