Music video of the day. Jackson and His Computerband: G.I. Jane (Fill Me Up). By Mrzyk & Moriceau.

Jackson and His Computerband: G.I. Jane (Fill Me Up)

on Nowness.com

Via NOWNESS:
"Mrzyk & Moriceau's Erotic Battleground Sets the Scene for the Electronic Eccentric
An anonymous female protagonist takes on a phallic army in Mrzyk & Moriceau’s erogenous epic for Jackson and His Computerband. Taking new single “G.I. Jane (Fill Me Up)” as their starting point, the French directing duo worked with a team of five animators for two months to create a chimerical world of sexual fantasy for the Warp Records-signed multi-instrumentalist. Born Jackson Fourgeaured, the Parisian released his second album Glow in September after an eight-year gap—the long player comes complete with guest vocals from Berlin-based disco absurdistPlanningtorock and singer-songwriter Mara Carlyle. “We had no brief; we showed him a storyboard and he said ‘Go,’ he let us totally free,” says Jean Francois Moriceau, one half of today’s featured creative pair whose CV includes videos for similarly outré Gallic stars Air and Sébastien Tellier. “We love Jackson’s song, so the ideas came very fast. We wanted something sex-gore-bizarre, so created this faceless girl fighting against penises that appear from everywhere.” The explosively charged narrative takes in Manga influences and the duo’s trademark pop eroticism, while also providing, as Moriceau opines, a comment on misogyny and female empowerment. “Of course you can see the power of feminism in the film,” he says. “But firstly, we want to entertain.”"

Another wonderful animation by Mrzyk & Moriceau:

Indian ad of the day. Tanishq - A wedding to remember.

"...in a nation where widowed and divorced women have historically been treated as outcasts, the theme of the spot—a woman's second marriage, to a man who treats both her and her daughter with love and respect—is not only revolutionary. It is crazy bold." Read more at adweek.com

Digital stuff of the day. "Enjoy Your Privacy" -- An interactive narrative from Norton Mobile

via contagiousmagazine.com
"Enjoy Your Privacy" -- An interactive narrative from Norton Mobile from Jam3 on Vimeo.
Thereʼs nothing our phones and tablets donʼt know about us. We let them listen to our conversations and count on them to harbor our most personal photos. We entrust them with our passwords, credit card numbers and our bank account information.
In essence, our mobile devices have become virtual windows into our lives.
The scary thing is, all it takes is a bit of human error, a moment of forgetfulness or a careless click, and our mobile devices can change from confidants to informants.
“Enjoy Your Privacy” was created as a reminder to consumers that no device is safe from digital dangers without the right protection.
The team developed a highly interactive experience at EnjoyYourPrivacy.com whereby users can sync their mobile devices to the desktop experience and interact with seven fictitious characters whom all have secrets for you to find out. Once a user pairs their mobile device with the desktop experience, they have the ability to access seven characterʼs devices as if they were their own—scrolling through photos, text messages, personal emails, bank statements, and much more with the objective of learning about the characterʼs lives and their hidden secrets.
Through the experience, visitors also learn what can come of lost, stolen, or hacked devices and how Norton by Symantec can help prevent them from falling victim to such security breaches. Through interacting with the experience, users are actually put into the shoes of a would-be hacker or someone who finds a device without protection.
To produce the digital experience Leo Burnett tapped Jam3, Smuggler and Method to create a highly interactive narrative that can be controlled by your mobile phone. The site, built entirely in HTML5 and using Jam3's proprietary Copper framework, has over 70 short videos that perfectly stitch together to allow the user to seamlessly move back and forth through the buildings and stories in any order they want.
Using WebSockets (Node.js and the Socket.IO) to pair the user’s mobile device with their desktop experience, allows them to explore and interact with the story’s characters and discover their various secrets. A "micro" mobile operating system was designed to create the illusion of actually peering into someone's phone, complete with email, voicemails, photos, personalized homescreens and even transitions between "apps".
The overarching message of the program is that of Privacy – and with the right type of protection from Norton, we are given peace of mind and allows us relax. So, go ahead: Enjoy your privacy with Norton Mobile Security and Norton Hotspot Privacy.
Visit enjoyyourprivacy.com on your computer to discover more about the program.

Cute ad of the day. Crest and Oral-B - Halloween Treats Gone Wrong.


In a world without candy, things get pretty scary. These Halloween treats are making kids sick. Literally! They're trying veggie-flavored treats as an alternative to traditional Halloween candy. Sounds pretty scary if you ask us.

Here's a better idea. Dig into Halloween candy and keep your teeth cavity-free with Crest toothpastes and Oral-B toothbrushes. Plus, visit your dentist to keep away the scariest monster of them all: tooth decay. That means more candy and whiter fangs for all.

Join the conversation at #SweetHalloween and start fighting zombie teeth today with these savings:
