Here's the latest from my new favourite sports icon... the Boston Bruins Bear:

CAROUSEL, A short film



This is a perfect example of a picture is worth a thousand words. An entire story is told in the capture of one moment in time. Brilliant.

Here's the writeup:
Created entirely by Stink Digital, this new interactive campaign promotes Philips latest entrant into the television market, the CINEMA 21:9. Since the televisions 21:9 frame lends itself so readily to film, our friends at Tribal DDB, Amsterdam commissioned us to create a piece of filmed content that could hold its own with Hollywoods best. Director Adam Berg responded with an idea for an epic frozen moment cops and robbers shootout sequence that included clowns, explosions, a decimated hospital, and plenty of broken glass and bullet casings.

This epic film is the centrepiece of the project. On its own, it clocks in at a (totally coincidental) two minutes and 19 seconds, but Berg conceived it to work as an endless loop. Visitors to the microsite therefore have the option to spin through the films single take shot repeatedly, to stop on a specific frame, or to watch it at the preordained speed. The film also contains embedded hotspots, which, when triggered, transport the viewer seamlessly from the heavily posted film to a behind-the-scenes version of the same shot. This constant moving between two layers of reality proved one of the projects biggest and most ambitious production challenges. Other details of the online execution play off the cinematic theme; the microsites loader doubles as a credit sequence, while rich media takeover banners drive traffic to the site by teasing viewers with an original Carousel trailer. All aspects of the production, from the film shoot to web design and development, were conducted by Stink Digital.

You've got the cutest little baby face



Shredded Video

The video was made with a shredder. Every third frame of the footage was printed, shredded and shot three times blended with adjacent frames by different stripes configuration. A cool technique.

Maritime Branding Observation.

Do you think we have enough "Sail" logos in Atlantic Canada yet? I'm just sayin'

More Face Making.

I wonder if they have to pay for the rights to use these people. Seems like by doing this, you could argue that they're saying Madonna and Elvis endorse Bose.


Yawwwwwwwwn.

Never date within your division

In honor of the NHL playoffs beginning this week, here's some great spots from Boston. I don't know if the first one is by design or coincidence, but it is very timely considering the first round matchup.

I like square butts and I cannot lie...

I just don't know what to say about this commercial... FOR KIDS!!!!



I only have nagging questions:
  • Is this funny, cute or just scary?
  • When did we think it was ok to start encouraging children to "get with" cartoon characters?
  • Square or not, who measures a girls "butt"... and gets away with it?
  • Has anyone seen this on TV or is it just designed to be controversial and viral?
  • How do square butted people go doodie?

Haunted House made of balloons

Created and led by Rochester, NY’s internationally-renowned “airigamist” Larry Moss, "Balloon Manor" is a yearly fundraiser for various local charities. The sculptures are built by a team of approximately 50 balloon artists from all over the world. Due to the temporary nature of the medium, they must complete the Manor in just one week, with the help of several hundred local volunteers.
