Revels Eviction

We noticed this campaign (Revels Eviction) the other day whilst reading the Metro (such a good read) on the way to work, and I could not help asking myself, 'Why has this campaign not been done before?' There is a truth and it creates conversation within the public eye. So, which one would you get rid of? Chocolate is the Bain of my life (in a good way) so I could just eat them all, but if I had to choose one, it would be the fake malteser. I mean, they just do not taste right. Go try it. Get a bag of malteser and then a bag of revels, compare, and get back to me.

One main gripe with the site is that it always seems to be buffering and it really pisses me off. Why spend so much time and money and not get the streaming right? I would write more but I gave up on the site. Buffering on sites is the real Bain of my life. Sad, but true.

Holga Images

Today we visited Jessops and collected our Holga prints. Click HERE to have a look. These are the first set of prints to come out of the camera. We hope to upload new prints each month, so keep an eye out.

Simon Tofield

A beautifully observed and executed couple of minutes of animation from Tandem Films director Simon Tofield. We both would have dogs any day over cats.

Forever haunting me

This is what happens when the photos get into the wrong hands. Originaly doing some work to help someone also,lol. However the point to me adding this was the technology behind it. Animoto allows you to instanly create a video dragging images on using online editing software. We had a lecture today from some guys at google and they showed us lots of beautiful potential with secret stuff they are working on. I would be stupid to shed all but this little nugget is kool. An interactive youtube video that uses encoded anotations (below). Probonus.

Multicolr Search Lab

Here you can browse through 3 million of Flickr’s most interesting images, and find ones that share the same colours. You can choose up to 10 colours from their palette of 120 different shades. Click the same colour more than once to get more of it. We played around for this for a while and then realised that we had work to do. Could be interesting to see where you could push this idea further.

Redbull - Air race PR stunt

As we approach the bottom of Oxford Circus escalators, we make the decision whether to walk up or cruise up. We walked and after last nights drinking performance, we both start sweat the alcohol out. As we walked towards the exit there was a large crowd gathering, was it another knife incident? Nah, it was a flight attendant in full gear handing out old school DIY polystyrene airplane kits. Childhood memories started coming back and I went to the site to register for the free tickets but soon realised that the event is on the same day as ‘The Big Chill’. Never mind.

The unexplained...explained...shut up Flight of the Navigator!

I knew art was at the bottom of all unexplaned paranormal goings on. New York artist Peter Coffin worked in part with London-based Cinimod Studio to produce this chaotic display of floating lights.

Pie plate - just for the hell of it - England needs to laff more -

Humour...

American humour.




Have you noticed that more worldwide and primarily American agencies are starting to erupt in London. why is that? It could be coinsidence but we became intreigued. Is it because of Britians housing crash or is london loosing it? Droga 5, Strawberry frog, Brooklen Bro's, Crispin Porter B. This is a slight tanget but we think the majority of humour we see reflects more of an American style. Is British humour selling out because a multicultural society doesn't understand it. "Please don't leave me british sarcasm". Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

8-bit Amiga graphics - pure nostalgia -

Gone are the days of retro console and people being concerned of how shit the graphics are on their xbox 450029009. Fuck that! We recently downloaded a super nes simulator and Im truely besotted and partly inspired. I love the graphics that didnt increase depth and barely would outline the face of a mortal combat chartacter but looked more like a brick wall of pixels! The graphics are the bomb and neon graphics are back in at the moment -check out these guys that picked up a new blood for them. To settle any hatred 'pixelated work rocks' and our generation was lucky that we were around to appeciate the commodor 64. Grrrr...good graphics.

Vodafone Web Streaker

We found this pretty amusing. Simply add an url and watch as the streaker, streaks. It's shame that you can't send it to a certain page (facebook application)that your friends viewing. Click on the title and have a go.

Human mirror

From the guys that brought us 'frozen grand central' comes the new installment that would lead tube tramps to question what kind of special brew they've been drinking. Performance art like this is great because the unattachment to any brand leaves it as a fresh piece of work. What concerns us is the saturation of 'flashmobbing' ideas in advertising right now and how long has this been about? Well acording to Wikipedia, 5 years. 'The first flash mob was organized in Manhattan in May 2003, by Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine' Ok then this in turn might raise the debate that nothing in advertising is original but from this we thought advertising was all against certain bandwagons and mass sheepism. Bahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Funk eye wear

Amazing Art Direction.

Blog Of The Month.

Welcome to our blog of the month, Inner City Snail 'a slow moving street project'.

Little People





We really liked this blog as the core idea is great and there's a certain hint of connection between the viewer and artist. The idea has legs and it's one of those things you wish you could see in the flesh. I wonder if he left them in them in situ or if they were moved after the shot?

Sony VAIO: Snow Angel - Online Script Project

This enigmatic new short sponsored by Sony was built on a scene idea from John Malkovich following his involvement in the latest VAIO campaign. The story was then co-written by visitors to the VAIO site with votes tallied to decide the most popular narrative suggestions. This we really liked as it offered the consumer to get involved with the brand and have their say. The final twist-filled tale was interpreted by Sherbet director Laurie J Proud through London digital agency Dare. Soundtrack: Barney Quinton at You Are Hear. We always believe in trying to engage the consumer, get them involved and give them an experience to walk away with. The animation is smooth and the lack of vocal content adds to the suspense of the short.

Net 10 - No Evil

Net 10, No Evil viral



Net 10: Shark



We are big fans of viral marketing, although the term seems to be over used these days by agencies and the consumers. Anyone can create a viral but how many create successful ones? Here is one example of the later. Net 10, No Evil campaign has caught our attention. The viral is simple and builds your curiosity up enough to go visit the actual site. On the site, which is clean and simple to use, you get to view some very short animation clips that remind us of the style of Frisky Dingo. Go check it out as they a funny and certainly worth a watch.
