Promo of the day. Mandible - 2013 Newport Beach Film Festival.


A short film created by ad agency RPA and Tool of NA directing duo, Erich Joiner and DP Robert Richardson, three-time Academy Award®-winner (Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds, Shutter Island, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & 2), and acclaimed screenwriter Lee Aronsohn (Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory). Famous for playing against the Orange County conservative stereotype, the Newport Beach Film Festival continues to build a distinctive personality for itself as a powerful player in the national film festival circuit. This year's advertising breaks away from the traditional 60-second format. Evolving into a six-minute showpiece. Graphic, intense and unlike anything film festival goers are prepared for, this hard-hitting short film takes the audience into a heightened state and then reminds them to relax — this is not real life — just particles of light on a screen, a demonstration of the incredible power of film.

Idea of the day. #Scribebillboard, the whole story.

Lots of things happen when one artist lives during 10 days in a billboard to paint it by hand. A lot more than we could've thought.

http://scribebillboard.com/


Background: How to make Scribe, a Mexican notebooks brand with 50 years of tradition, become once more beloved by the people and, especially, the newer generations? By reconnecting with the adult consumer, awakening their inner child and starting a dialogue with the newer generations. With this thought, a new brand essence -“Spaces for your inspiration”- was created, and a new image and positioning consequently. We wanted the brand to become inspirational more than aspirational, and to bring the notebook’s consumers to the experience.
Case description: The ScribeBillboard was an interactive live action billboard located on one of the most important streets in Mexico City. It housed the artist Cecilia Beaven during 10 days, with the only purpose to transform a huge white canvas into a work of art filled with color and the ideas that she received from Twitter. Everything that happened during these days was available for tracking on social networks, a blog, webisodes and live streamings. Tv celebrities and other artists visited her, and Molotov (mexican band) played live from the billboard. As she painted, other billboards were completed at the same time all over the city. The whole story was also brought to movie theaters and television. Small billboard replicas were printed for those whose requests were drawn by Cecilia.
Results: In just 10 days, impacts on Twitter went over 100 million (resource: topsy.com), 12,000 drawings were requested, more than 65,000 users were logged at the same time for the live streaming and 99% of the conversation was positive. National and international media talked about the action and radio stations broadcasted from our location.

So I found out just by pitch shifting Get Lucky, the track sounds a lot like Michael Jackson. The "He-hee's", "Woo's" , "shamonas" and other MJ sounds developed on their own when the track sped up.

Then pitch shift it, add in mj vocals and you have it!

Documentary of the week. INSIDE OUT: The People's Art Project TRAILER.

INSIDE OUT: The People's Art Project TRAILER from SOCIAL ANIMALS on Vimeo.

This fascinating documentary tracks the evolution of the world's largest participatory art project, the wildly popular "Inside Out." Travel the globe with French artist JR as he motivates communities to define their most important causes by pasting giant portraits in the street, testing the limits of what they thought possible. In capturing the process, Alastair Siddons creates a glowing testament to the power of the image and the role that art can play in transforming lives.
