new guinness ad.

"For the best part of ten years, Guinness ads bearing the slogan 'Good Things Come To Those Who Wait' have worked wonders for the drinks brand, garnering fans of both the drink and its advertising around the world. However, tonight a new TV commercial - created by the brand's long serving agency Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO - will air that sees a new campaign line, Bring It To Life, make its debut.

The new ad, entitled World, sees a group of men playing god and creating a world of their own: Canyons are carved, forests erected and waterfalls are, erm, encouraged - the idea being that this world-creation is a metaphor for the famous surge and settle motion of a pint of Guinness and the way it comes alive in front of your eyes when poured."



okay..

PPD3

new blog for PPD3. i'll put things from the 'professional project' brief on here too as they both tie in together pretty well.

BP PORTRAIT

i also managed to look at the BP portrait awards in the portrait gallery on the way back from the BFI..

onedotzero.

A week later i spent the day in london without the rum and red stripe, but had an equally worthwhile time.

it was the onedotzero 'adventures in motion' festival at the British Film Institution on the southbank, which was on from the 9th to the 13th of september. there was loads and loads of stuff packed into the four days across digital animation, motion graphics, experimental shorts, and music videos by upcoming and established talent.

i went on the thursday for the 'onedotzero_cascade' exhibition and discussion. this was a multi-disciplinary workshop that lasted 4 days and included 40 first and second year graduates from 22 uk universities (most of them D&AD winners) over 17 disciplines, supported by GLUE LONDON and D&AD.



seriously talented load of people. the work was pretty good but it was the panel discussion in the afternoon, which consisted of 2 graduates from the programme and 4 respected industry figures, that i took most from. really insightful comments and advice.

CARNIVAL '09

the first of many trips down to london on august bank holiday and one of the best days of the summer, notting hill carnival and the maddecent party on portobello road which we blagged in backstage. red bull music academy = free booze free music free wicked djs. it was even sunny

Another interesting thread about pre/during/post higher education on CR here. "Tea. Cake. Manners. Punctuality. A good sense of humor. Good Design & lots of ideas—that's what I'm offering anyway."

Hit & Red.

Great tune + video. The joys of working with music you actually like (all produced on After Effects CS3).

STOPMOO

Ive never really considered doing any stop-motion animation before for some reason but i was blown away by this. It's the music video for Wave Machine's track "The Greatest Escape We Ever Made", directed by Stuart Lanceley and produced by Token Films.

LUNAR

Promo looks v nice

WORK PLACEMENT BLOG.

Can be found in the LINKS. After today's interview assessment thingymajigy i decided to make a blog to organise my way through it over the summer months.

WHO'S DOING WHAT TO WHO?

This is the edit of the video i handed in last week, its pretty shit. there's a variety of improvements to be made, the animation and transitions in particular, and i want to composite footage onto the TV screens as the video progresses (the same as the TEST footage from the seminar room shoot). As well as the stationary shots, i could try to mask moving shots from the dolly, however as there are no distinguishing areas to track on the tv's, motion tracking will be difficult, and it would be the case of editing frame by frame. Time consuming, but may be worth the hours. Also the audio is horribly out of synch in a number of areas. It synchs fine in final cut, but lags when i export it out? need to address this asap

BOOT CAM.

Body and soul on the line for toms fixed gear doc.

BRIGHTAAN.

Had a really good time down in brighton the other day when i went to visit mates from home, proper surreal little place with all the lanes and stuff - v quadrophenia. The little flyer they did for chris's birthday bash -

OBLONG.

For the last 6 weeks or so i've been working down at Oblong for my Send & Receive project, a community resource centre based in Woodhouse, who essentially provide advice, support, and facilities for locals who want to make a difference through volunteering and community projects. I've been with the design collective throughout, and more recently the moving image sub-group which has just begun to take shape. Here are some photographs of filming from the latest project - a graffiti documentary within Hyde Park and surrounding areas.

WEBSITE.

I read about Dan Kitchener coming back to Leeds on a megabus at half 6 in the morning, so his stuff can't be too bad eh. He's worked with shit loads of people, from Ian Brown to Kylie to Disney to Channel 4 sex education shows. Below is his showreel from 2009 which i pinched off his site.

SHUNT

Also i feel i must commemorate the visit by archiving our evening entertainment at SHUNT underneath london bridge. wierd. They played really obscure electronica and showcased lots of experimental film throughout, with the main attraction being a live set from Adelbert Strasse & Morshul Dull - who apparently were original members of cult 70's German electronics band POWERPACK. They were also after bums. Yes.


Strange one but a great trip nonetheless. Bedtime now, lots of sleep for an epic days critical studies tomorrow. Lord lord

L Town

London was good times indeed, i hate going because as soon as i arrive it makes leeds and everywhere else seem so bad. Me and tom met up in shoreditch after abit of a walk from bethnal green and managed to find that Goldie exhibition i was talking about before. It was mint, i got some photographs off my phone too-

LUNAR
