Idea of the day. Thalys Trains: Sounds of the City


To encourage people to use the train to go and explore nearby cities, Thalys created three interactive billboards. Each billboard represented a city, and each was host to more than 1000 unique sounds from that city. Pedestrians were invited to plug in with their personal headphones and start exploring. Headphones are often used to block out a city. With Thalys Sounds of the City, they were an opportunity to rediscover one.

Journey of the day. HSBC - Lift

HSBC - Lift from Grey London on Vimeo.
Running a business is about more than just the numbers — it’s about people and human ambition. To encapsulate this, Grey London has created a film depicting one man’s journey, from the launch of his company in 1974 up until the present day, and tells the story of everything he’s experienced in between: the up-and-down, four-decade journey of a business, from start-up to multinational corporation.
The twist? It’s set entirely in a lift.
“The lift film is really a metaphor for the journey of a business and the people that run it. It takes us through time, and you get to see and feel events in the lifecycle of a business. Yes, it’s a lift journey but it’s the most extraordinary lift journey in the world”, says Nick Rowland, Creative Director at Grey London.
As the lift — and the business — progresses upwards, a multitude of storylines play out within nine square feet: shaking hands on that first deal, watching the number of employees swell and an office romance blossom, office politics and arguments, the bad times — and the anger and frustration they can bring, the crucial deal with foreign investors…
Given the intimate and up-close nature of the location, the shoot was a considerable undertaking in attention to detail — from wardrobe, makeup and hairstyling to prosthetics and props. Not only did the actor have to look 40 years older by the end of the film, everything in the lift had to represent the style of the era being portrayed. The end result is as much a mesmerising portrait of four decades as it is the life of a business. It was directed by Gary Freedman of The Glue Society through Independent films.
Gary Freedman of The Glue Society says: “This is about the journey of a business but at its core, it is a human story and very much centred around a main character, covering all the emotional ups and downs of his life. Telling such an expansive story within the confines of a lift was a very interesting challenge, but that restriction allowed us to really develop creative, often unexpected, ideas.”
“It’s a simple idea and it allows a really good story to be told”, adds Rowland.
The film, which will air globally (including in the UK and Hong Kong) on TV and inflight media, is part of HSBC’s It’s Never Just Business campaign, which launched last year with press, outdoor, digital and airport executions.

Random stuff of the day. The Board of Peace. By Fiorucci.


The last slice of Salami can make us fight like enemies to decide who gets it. 
The world has had enough conflicts. 
That's why Fiorucci introduces The board of Peace: a smart cutting board that randomly decides who is going to get the last slice.

---------------

L'ultima fetta di salame può trasformarci in nemici disposti a tutto per averla. Ma nel mondo ci sono già abbastanza conflitti. 
Per questo Fiorucci presenta il Tagliere della Pace: il tagliere che decide casualmente a chi spetta l'ultima fetta. Portando pace e giustizia.

Premi il bottone "Sottotitoli" per la versione in italiano.

Digital stuff of the day. Tinnyvision

Tinnyvision from Erik Hay on Vimeo.
Stoners don’t want to hear marijuana slows reactions and makes driving dangerous. The NZTA needed an authentic, targeted way to deliver the message.
Tinnyvision: a group of guys sharing their stoner sessions on Snapchat. Add them. Get snaps. Watch them and they disappear. No incriminating evidence. Throughout the day, our target audience was entertained by snaps of the guys getting stoned and slow.
11 snaps later, they go for a drive. A girl steps out. The driver is slow to react. She hits the windscreen.
A minute later, viewers receive one final snap: ‘Stoned drivers are slower to react’.

Smart ad of the day. MAGNUM Be True To Your Pleasure

Agency: Lola Madrid

Magnum believes that everyone should indulge in their personal pleasure. It doesn’t matter who you are, or what you take pleasure in; Magnum wish to inspire all Pleasure Seekers to seize it.

Be True To Your Pleasure Film, launched at the Cannes Film Festival on Fri 15 May 2015, celebrates spontaneity and the joy of letting go. It means turning off that little voice inside our head that compels us to live up to social expectations and say no to pleasure. It’s about saying yes.

A day without pleasure is a day lost. Be true to your pleasure. #BeTrueToYourPleasure

Idea of the day. ELAN - Taste the translation

ELAN Taste the translation from JWT Amsterdam on Vimeo.
ELAN languages has a great online translation tool. But not many people know the quality of ELAN because they use the obvious: Google Translate. To prove that ELAN offers a better translation we put both tools to a test. A tasting test. We translated a Japanese recipe, one with ELAN, and one with Google translate. Then a chef cooked the two translated recipes. And we served the two dishes to passers-by. The outcome was clear; ELAN translated a far tastier dish than Google translate.

We invited five local born artists to illustrate and reflect how each Air Max model has a Hong Kong story for each year. To take people back in time, we used the 5 human senses of 'sight, sound, smell, taste and touch’ to allow the person to experience and re-live the history between the city and this iconic sneaker."

Introducing the interactive parking billboard. We developed our own software, linked to ultrasonic sensors. This monitored the parking space and controlled our special human parking assistants. The individual video sequences were played back according to our script, so that the distance between the hands precisely matched the distance to the car behind.
