cool dutch ad agency

holy shit!.

this is the best thing i've seen all year. watch this. both vids. particularly you annabeth.

love the way this company makes things for real as well as using 3d software. particularly like this ad for nike air (if the link works - you know what flash sites are like.) would be a much more interesting place to work than the more digital/programming side of things - in between sculpture art and advertising.

letter to the pool supervisor

Dear Mr. Healey,

My associate and I are BA students at Leeds College of Art and Design, and we are currently working on a project creating a campaign for a suicide help line, similar to the Samaritans, called Lifeline. Northern Ireland has one of the highest suicide rates in Europe, and this campaign is aimed at people there who are in despair or distress who need somebody to talk to. We were hoping to use your facilities to film a short sequence of a clothed man underwater for this campaign. I believe you have windows into the side of the pool, which would eliminate a lot of technical problems for filming. We would like to discuss the possible use of your facilities, and any health and safety issues that would need to be considered. Naturally we would pay for the use of your facilities if you agree to us using them, and/or credit Barnsley Metrodome's help in the making of the film. Thanks for taking the time to read our proposition.

Regards,

Tom Thiel

lifeline adverts

http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/create-your-own-panorama-planets/

this could be a cool effect. could it work with video. reminds me of the clever use of two lenses in this dizzee rascal video

evaluate and entertain.

As yet i am undecided as to which brief to follow. I'm interested in "staycation", "life-line" and "make museums sexy".

staycation is an interesting brief because it is calling out for an interesting take on british holidays. one thinks of adverts such as this -



a clever and entertaining homage to 60's advertising. My initial ideas were of a close up of someone enjoying/suffering english weather and doing all the cliches that we know and love about british culture - icecream, seaguls, caravans, walking.

the brief is called staycation - i.e. holidaying at home. a take on this could be leaving the front door to find yourself instantly in different exciting locations. the door could become a motif for the campaign as a whole. This is a predictable take however.


making museums sexy?




the brief i'm thinking about undertaking seriously is the lifeline one. Suicide has touched too many of us, and this needs a high level of sensitivity. It also needs to be effective and compelling.
My initial thoughts here are for a cross platform interactive film. Based around a central character - possibly not the character considering suicide but a friend or relative, the audience is able to alter the outcome of of the video piece, which will be on facebook, twitter, youtube etc.

As i said i've not got an idea i'm excited about running with. and am still coming up with new directions.

similar company to DVEIN, incredible stuff. i need to up my game.

http://www.dvein.com/

these people are amazing, check out the diesel show, this is where i want to go with work. well impressive spread of work - quality across the board

specialist area decisions.

i like to do a bit of everything.

i want to work in advertising, particularly in direction and post. in connection to this i want to make music videos, interactive digital art, music and eventually short films.

My main skills base is in post production. I enjoy post and VFX but really don't want to end up a technician so i want to go toward direction. The only direction i've done was for the alibi project, but I'm a cocky shit with a big gob so it should work out. I'd like to learn a bit of 3d software, but Maya is an awkward, depressing and PC based program. So i'm looking to get a copy of cinema 4d or 3d studio max. I'd also like to get better on photoshop. I feel confident in After effects, FCP, Logic and a few other programs.

I need to get more professional - business cards, new website, linked in, twitter, haircut, company name. And most importantly a more defined notion of what it is i actually do.


so film then


thanks.

really exciting projection work.

this is amazing, erally impersive tracking. it's also quite artistic not just technical.
