Secret Cinema is a cool concept - the secret part is that you don't know the movie and you only know the location two days before. I went along to one of the first Secret events a couple of year's back. In fact, if you look at this video at 1:16 is an interview with me:
With each year these events have become bigger and better. I kicked myself that I didn't go to the Alien screening at Haloween (although I think we were throwing our very own circus party that night so that would be why). Still, it looks amazing.
And the reason for this post. Well there's another one coming up - it's on the 3rd, 4th and 5th September and will see 5000 people each night watch the movie. Insane! You can find out more and get tickets at http://www.secretcinema.org
It's been a white since I've posted about Facebook T shirts. The mini business is still going - I sell a handful of T shirts each month. I'm not spending as much time on it as I used to as I build on my viral marketing business.
I'd like to spend a bit more time on my design work, but that's practically on hold at the moment while I focus on a little bit of deficit reduction - four years of study paying fees up front has taken it's toll on my bank balance. Anyhow, I digress....
The good news is that Facebook T shirts are now in a book called Never Use Pop Up Windows and 50 other Ridiculous web rules by Anneloes Van Gaalen. You can buy it from Amazon if you'd like
The guys at SUSO have always claimed to be about more than just a fizzy juice drink. Their brand ideology, as presented on their website at www.suso.co.uk, shows us that when we harness our imagination, creativity and determination there is nothing we can’t do. Here are found tales of achievement in adversity - of people doing what many said couldn’t be done - a showcase and tribute to an attitude of NO CAN’T DO
This summer the SUSO Master will feature in a series of virals, short films and tutorials online and on digital Outdoor sites across the country. The aim is first to entertain and inspire and thereafter support through specific tutorials encouraging the development of aspirational skills in the field of music, sport, and the creative arts:
The campaign is amplified through social media allowing even more interaction with the character via Twitter and Facebook.
Here's a sweet new app for the iphone that I've been involved with. The A-Team Action Pack
You can relive those classic episodes or create your own over-the-top action sequences with vehicle sounds, catchphrases and motion activated weapon sound effects. If you need to see more check out this demo showing what you can do with it:
I personally think it’s best when you and a mate download it and lob grenades at each other across a room.
It's to promote the A-Team Series 1 release on itunes making it possible to watch vintage original A-team on your ipad, iphone and ipod touch!
Remember: If you're in trouble, if you need an app, and if you can find it, you need the A-Team app!
I went down to this year's RCA Product Design show and was thoroughly impressed and inspired. For me one of the most interesting and successful projects was by Tom Stables who created an overlay for remote controls to make them easier to use for the elderly. The video is a great example of how observing human behavior can lead to design innovation that can genuinely improve the quality of life for the user.
Boppy have just created this game to test your knowledge of breastfeeding. Not something that I know about so it was quite fun trying to guess the answers.
I'm currently seeding this Bounce back attack game for the new film The Rebound. It's a very basic game, but to give it more relevance and encourage people to play I've created a Mauricio Espinosa version for fans to vent their rage with.
For Dr. Martens 50th Anniversary, The Cinematic Orchestra covers Jeff Buckley’s Lilac Wine
To celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we asked 10 artists to record their version of a cult classic track which represents the spirit of the people who've worn DM's over the past 50 years. We also asked 10 directors to make videos for each of the tracks. Listen and watch here
A ban against whaling has been in place for the past 24 years, dramatically reducing the numbers of whales killed. However, today in Agadir, Morocco the International Whaling Commission (IWC) will begin the process of voting on whether to lift the ban and potentially open the floodgates to whaling across the globe once again.
A graphic film which featured model, Alice Dellal, narration from actor Christopher Eccleston and music from The Horrors, has been created to move millions of people to sign up to an online e-protest against the proposed lifting of the commercial whaling ban.
The aim of the protest, led by the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) is simple; to directly challenge the proposed lifting of the whaling ban and potentially save thousands of whales from being needlessly slaughtered in the future.
Each e-protest (accompanied by an individual, personal message) will be sent directly to the most high profile supporters in favour of the plan to lift the ban, which surprisingly include Barack Obama and the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
