Juanity

or Cabrality...
It's kinda weird but while some people are looking to get into other people's way some others simply make their own way. New ways are always provocative, and if you want my opinion, provocative is the middle name of Good Ideas.
One of these crazy dudes is Juan Cabral, most of you know already who he is so no need to make fancy introductions. What i like in the work of this guy is that has nothing to do with advertising, it encompasses Art in Advertising with a unique way.

So to make the long story short, this morning i saw the new Cadbury Ad which comes right after the Gorilla..


i said Hmmmmm.... hmmmmmm neaaaaa

then i wathced it again...

and again

and again


and then i just concluded to the Following:

This is not an Ad this is SOMETHING. And if we want to say that we live in 2008 then we have to say that Advertising is SOMETHING. Nothing more nothing less. Advertising is Something...
This is the reason i'm in this sexy thing, you can do whatever your mind thinks.
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING.

No KUDOS in the morning
KUDOS now.

tulibu dibu douchoo

So i had to present this video below.
Make Sure you turn on your Speakers, i would say that i proudly present you the Viral of the year no 2009


magic..

Juno

Well, i just watched Juno. Usually when it comes to movies, my pals making fun of me, they say i'm cheesy since i really like cartoon and teen movies, i would prefer to watch a Funny Hollywood movie with teens doing crazy stuff rather than a super cultural amazing photography European film. Of course i like both styles, but my friends also know that i'm in general a happy person, thus it is important for me to get positiveness in any way i can, so i can try to seed this (LOL)

Well Juno in my opinion is a great movie, it's a must-see teen movie it's one of the movies with young kids who make you wonder how talented some kids could be. Well miss Juno is super talented and a potential super beautiful girl. Not so beautiful as the girl who played at the Disturbia, but she is pretty.. anyway enough with all these stupid words. The movie is nice go watch it.

KU-DOS

PS i'm bored to put the links for the movie so just type Juno in google and you'll get there.

There goes an idea...

hahaha

People/Artists

Well it's time to get back to interesting stuff. It's always nice and beautiful when beautiful people speak about their own creations, it's always nice when people are able to express what they feel when create beauty, it's always nice when people tell their own story, cause as i like to say. The best story that someone can say, is his own.


Fafi is an artist, she is one of those lucky people on earth who found something interesting to do :)

OFD

Well i decided to change the world a bit. It's a hard decision, but nevertheless not impossible. Changing the world is about following your own way, a way you created you discovered, a way so new that even you see it a bit blurry. One of my first things while changing the world is to declare the OFD. Official Fun Day. This day is tomorrow 18th of February...


so 1st Step:
Turn your speakers to the max. and move your feet.


hahaha
totally random bullshit.

Adi.

A great campaign just started.
Adidas Originals and 180amsterdam, created a really nice campaign proving that the best story someone can tell is his own.
the first commercial/short film of the campaign is the one who shall remind to many people or bring knowledge to some others, that Adidas stands for Adi Dassler. An athlete who once made shoes for Atheletes.
As the website suggests, this campaign will be supported with more exciting films :)
at the moment enjoy...


This is 180!

Old, good, funny

LOOOOOLLLLLL

ode to abstract.

What's this thing called abstract,
it makes us project colors randomly
it makes us thing weird stuff..
it works like a bridge that connects dreams with reality
it make people wonder, think, re-think
sometimes make people look and feel dumb.
maybe abstract works like a dream, anything is possible there
and sometime anything can be real, even if it's a new invention
a totally random tshirt, a one color painting..
abstract represents the magic f seeing something that nobody else sees but you.

TO THE ABSTRACT AND BEYOND

Randomness

is the essence of life. Great example the converation between two professional adults on a Saturday morning.

Hell YEAH!!

I think i've just discovered something really important.. Many people say time is money, time is money, time is money blah blah.. i say bullshit. Time is just something that passes by. Dreams are the new currency ladies and gents, dreams are those things that come together and propel life, make life interesting, make life a place to live. Dreams come not only when we sleep, dreams are there since we were kids, dreams are the ones that make progress, crazy dreams make fun, big dreams create new big stuff.
Big stuff that change things bring revolutions, smiles, new discoveries.. well you get my point.

Dream and don't be afraid the dream's not real.


to the infinity and beyondddd

Let's

Let's Feel good today..
Let's smile, go out and play.

The new.

But there are times when people truly risk something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends.

Still struggling to find when is the best time to enter the new, when the time to risk in here... how fun risk can be? it's really hard sometimes to discover, but what i like to say is Start today what you are planning for tomorrow..
This was just a though.. the blog will be new. I have also a risk in my mind, not sure if i will go for it still trying to see if the timing is good, but even if it's not.. it will still be fun. Welcome new.

2008

this is the first post of the year. 2007 was a really intense year for me it started with a big Question mark, it ends with a big smile... which is good.
lot's of interesting things happened last year... but they are all history, some of the moments are already stored in my memory some other moments.. just proved me that everything happens for a reason.
2008 this the now.. a kind weird year i think it's only 2 years before the end of the 00's it's a year that has the infinity symbol in it (8-90CW) it's a year.. that will prove to everyone else that the best, are yet to come.. for me it will be the year of NO. I'm prepared to start living with 'NO' it doesn't sound easy but sounds better...till then i wish you all a happy lovely new year. I wish you all health, joy, smile, energy, sun, moments, true tears, ask what's next....

to the infinity and beyond.

Something really insightful, comes from the LeanMeanFightingMachine Digital agency... Brilliant

So let me put it straight..

Wieden+Kennedy lost? a part of Nike account? (i'm not sure)
and Crispin Porter won it?

So this means that the Dudes from Nike decided that their Folks a portland don't do their job well after 25 years and decided to award the Nike+ account to CPB which seems to be a really cool place, magic factory or whatever you want to call it...
This means that Nike & CPB need to produce something really cool and the expectations are really high.. after all the Crispin Dudes seems to be really cool guys..
So today i saw the ad below for Nike+ which apparently is the first bit of work that CPB did for Nike..


and then my mind out of a sudden traveled into my favorite ad..


and then my mind also traveled to this Guiness ad...that won many awards back in 2005



and then my mind started a conversation with my logic:

Mind: What the fuck..
Logic: What?
Mind: I say what the fuck, give me a Hammer, and get me to the Myth section
Logic: Why?
Mind: Why, look the post.... a myth collapsed.

Advertising?

What is advertising? nobody knows anymore, and that's what's Fun everyone's trying to find what the fuck is going on out there and what the fuck is advertising!
I love this situation i think it's brilliant amazing. I just love it what else can i say Love it Love it Love it..

by the way if anyone knows the answer please comment.

WHAT THE FUCK IS ADVERTISING??


So long Suckers.

The line

Have you ever questioned yourself about the line. The line that exists there in a parallel world, the line who look like zig when we zag a line so thin that sometimes can be proven so strong & some other times it can be proved so vulnarable a line.
I remember one of the first commercials i ever made was about circles..how important cyrcles are in our lives & how important is to close cyrcles... 4 years later. realized that a life full of cyrcles is a life boring. Life needs a line, life needs this line that will be there will start from one point & it will make so many turns, it will draw it will fill a blank page it will be a line that can make evec cyrcles it can be a line with an end, or even better t can be a life without one. A line that will search for the proper end, and when this line reaches this end then again.. the line is incomplete.Lately one of the things i do to get some inspiration is to listen to classic music & draw lines, draw totally random things which at some point might look beautiful or the might look like a doodle.. I know some of you still wonder why you spend time reading the above.. some others may like it.. but whatever you say i say that Adsurd is Back. :)

Hate Something Change Something

... I remember this great Advert for Honda saying Hate Something change something hate something change something make something better....
well it seems that Facbook's impact & success has created some enmities among the digital world...
Hatebook is the new Antisocial thing for those who hate this cruel world..
interesting thing that the Devil sends you a message once you enter.. Genious! KUDOS!

Magic.

So it's been a while since my last post; but things were frantic.. today though i couldn't resist on this amazing video.

Glassworks is a great production company with offices in Amsterdam & London & recently they completed post-production on a unique 3-minute sequence for Alexander McQueen's fashion show in Paris.

The end of the show featured a full-size virtual image of Kate Moss, floating in a three-meter high glass pyramid situated in the middle of the stage.

Shot on film and projected in HD, the illusion was achieved using an effect updated from the 1800's known as Peppers Ghost. In this case four hidden projection screens were arranged to reflect from the faces of the pyramid, creating an optical illusion of a holographic display.

Baillie Walsh directed the film of Kate Moss, shot in a studio in London, floating in mid-air, suspended from a wire rig. After colour corrections and transfer in TK, Glassworks removed the wires and did substantial cleaned up on the image. An abstract optical effect for the beginning of the sequence and glowing light effect for the ending were also created.

Glassworks also built a pre-visualisation of the show in 3D to verify the geometric calculations necessary for the illusion to work convincingly.

The show was a resounding success and the magical appearance of Kate Moss at the finale drew a spontaneous standing ovation from the audience.

Well what can i say.. maybe my favourite word

Magic..
