NIKE MOVES AWAY FROM MEDIA TO ENGAGEMENT NINTENDO

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 12:57:00 +0000

Services and engagement are the future of ALL brands.
proofs ?
Nike and Nintendo.
Nike+ and Nintendo DS' braintraining games (in that case, not exactly service, but you see what I mean).
This article about the swoosh and that article about Mario's company. S-E-R-V-I-C-E-S. E-N-G-A-G-E-M-E-N-T.
Simple idea, "if you can't bring me more than just a product, then you're not worth it". Get it brands ? get it?

TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER BEFORE UNILEVER DOES A MESSAGE TO UNILEVER RYE CLIFTON TIM PIPER THIBAULT-THIBAULT DOVE AXE UNLEVER AXE GIRLS ONSLAUGHT THIBAULT

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 12:09:00 +0000

Yes, yes again! (such a shame I missed it at the time, here's a back to the future).
the short film "A message from Unilever" (Dove latest ad "Onslaught" spoof), is exactly what I meant in this post about Unilever. Punk Planning does it better here, if you want.
And this thanks to Rye Clifton (the original director of the Onslaught film !?!?!?! who edited this video Message) who was smart enough to apply an "helicopter view" on the situation and his work for Unilever. He turned the feeling most of us had into images.
You got balls Rye, you're fresh.
But just one thing, you didn't knew what Unilever was before working for Dove.... ?
maybe we should ask him directly, (he posted his adress at the end of the film). I'm also wondering what Unilever's offical reaction was (the unfoffical beeing: pissed).
Wait a minute, I'm kind of lost, some articles about this story say Clifton is the "Onslaught" director, but all the other sites say Tim Piper is. I'm confused, but I think Tim Piper did the "Onslaught",(he's credited as AD, writer, director and editor... that should be enough), anyway, nevermind.

MINI THE OTHER LUNCH BREAK MOMENTUM LONDON THIBAULT-THIBAULT MINI UK MINI LUNCH BREAK LUNCH BREAK SANDWICH

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 11:34:00 +0000

Yes, I say yes.
Last month Mini UK organized, trough its new promotional site The Other Lunch break, a series of crazy-interesting-entertaining activities for your lunch break hour.
Check the site, we've of course (not in London + last month) missed the activities, but you'll find online some really nice videos of some of the lunch break meetings such as: Bruce Lee for Beginners - How to Beat a Lie Detector - Man/Woman School - The Things Your Parents Should Have Taught You - Moonwalking for Beginners, etc.
The link with the brand ? The spirit man, the spirit.
The global idea: "Mini is all about making even the most boring journey a little bit more enjoyable".
great job done by Momentum in London. bravo.

DIGNITAS SUICIDE COMPANY SWITZERLAND THIBAULT-THIBAULT SUICIDELAND ZURICH LEGAL SWISS THIBAULT THIBAULT-THIBAULT

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 14:35:00 +0000

when we were kids we used to sometimes call

Switzerland

, Suicideland.
It was kind of a good nickname for our big little country, referring to the bit boring (that's at least what we thought at the time) teenager life we had there.
Dignitas, a swiss service company, is all over the news nowadays.(in french) and here (in German)...
Why? for its service.
Dignitas offers totally legal, medically controlled and organized suicide.
Their tagline: "To live with dignity. To die with dignity". (which is kind of a strange tagline as they organize suicides in cars for example...)
Find out more here, and make up your mind.
(I mean on the subject, not whether you should use or not their service).
Yeah, that's my

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 14:49:00 +0000

oops, here's my techno-boner again... (bit nasty, but very visual, sorry).
nano-projection, pocket projectors, mobile devices projection are my new "close future turn on's".

PSFK's talking about it today, reporting on Italian designer Stefano Casanova's beautiful mobile phone/projector (picture). Wall Street Journal's talking about it too (or vice versa), article teaser here. Microvision works on it with Motorola (all this in psfk's post by Allison Mooney from NGT).

But my favorites are definitely Explay's products, specially their nano-projector.(first picture)

What if we ended up really living like Sport Billy (remember the bag?).

Wow, fuck, great.
Wait a minute, will our bodies adapt... will humans have tiny skinny micro fingers in the future... ?

DIESEL LEARN DANCE DISCO 78 - DIESEL GOES VIRAL AGAIN - DIESEL YOUTUBE - ADAGE - TELEPORTATION - FINNISH DANCE MASTER - DIESEL - THIBAULT-THIBAULT

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 15:16:00 +0000

Diesel's power brand brand's power: or how the Italian fashionista jeans maker takes an old Finnish dance master's video lesson, re-edit it, add a bit of CGI (meant to be poor I guess by the way) and makes 53,777 hits on Ytube in 5 days...
Personally, I prefer this one, Teleportation. ("only" 44,024 hits in 3 weeks, see...).
Does anyone still wants to run TVC's ? (yes... I know).
films shot and written by Rozan&Schmeltz @ Surface2Air.

Update!
Well, after all, my post wasn't about this so called "success" (is it really?). I know that most blogs, sites and magazines in the business talked about this Diesel internet move, that probably explains part of the 55 K hits on Ytube. 'Come on people, let's be honest, the films are not interesting at all, neither particularly "viral ready", neither amazing in terms of production, and so on, and so on.
Well, here's the back of my thought: This stuff is absolutely not interesting. A proper documentary about finnish dance master Ake Blomqvist (and partner Leena of course) would have been way more. by the way here's the original footage used by Surface2Air and there, Master Blomqvist's real dance school).

VICE BROADCASTING SYSTEM - VICE MAGAZINE - SPIKE JONZE - RICHARD KERN - AMERICANA - THIBAULT-THIBAULT - INFOTAINMENT SANDWICH

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 11:04:00 +0000

ViceBroadcastingSystem.tv has been around for a while now, but I only spent some time on it a week ago or so. It's basically the VICE magazine/group TV channel(s)/network on the net. You'll find some great shows in there, such as "Spike spends Saturday with..." (director Spike Jonze spends a Saturday afternoon with... someone), or "shot by Kern" (photo sessions with photographer Richard Kern) or the VBS news, Americana, etc, etc, just to name a few. So, again, dig in there, you'll find a show for you for sure. "online broadcast networks" are really interesting and they are more and more active (spreading to long feature films production, having more and more regular shows, increasing quality on every level, etc). I'm really wondering (even if I can imagine part of the answer) what are the habits of their "regular audience". I don't know, it seems logical that you can get "hooked" by such a show/channel, and that technology really makes it easy to follow on a regular basis (podcasts, RSS, any kind of subscribing...). But the fact that it is drowned in thousands and thousands of other free and exciting sources of interest or entertainment makes me wonder if anyone really sticks to one show/channel... it seems that once you've found something interesting on the net, you can't wait to find the next one, and so on and so on. At the end of the day, there is no way out, you'll have to make a choice to make it worthy. I like that idea that all the news/cultural/entertaining sources that you can find on the net are like sandwich "ingredients". Thousands of sandwich ingredients to chose out of. But again, finally, if you don't have at least two slices of bread and a decent number of "layers" (can you eat a sandwich with 1347 slices of ham, 349 pieces of cheese and 34 Kg of mustard?), you end up with a heap of indigestible stuff and probably won’t “eat” nothing. Just like your body, your brain needs to be careful on the menu. Bon appetit.

THE ARCADE FIRE NEON BIBLE VIDEO - FULL SCREEN VIDEOS - HERON PRESTON - INTERACTIVE VIDEOS - THIBAULT-THIBAULT

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 13:53:00 +0000

hey hey,
was reading a post on Heron Preston's blog yesterday (have a look, good stuff) about "full screen videos" on websites. I totally agree with him, they're really nice, bringing something special to online moving images, that kind of TV feeling with an arty touch added... also agree with him that they can not be everywhere. anyway, here's an evolution of the technique (so to say): The Arcade Fire "Neon Bible" interactive video. (the group's site is really well done too) Mixing full screens vids and that interactive exchange probably gives a good idea of how next big hit sites will look like pretty, pretty, pretty soon.

thank you's go to Heron Preston and the Fabrica Blog.

MARC ECKO - BARRY BONDS 756 BALL - VOTE756 - AIR FORCE ONE TAG - MARC ECKO BASEBALL - THIBAULT-THIBAULT

noreply@blogger.com (°thibault) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:23:00 +0000

"I bought this baseball to democratize the debate over what to do with it,"
Marc Ecko (Air Force One Tag with Droga5) won the $752,467 bid on Barry Bonds' record-breaking 756th home run baseball. He bought the ball, and let the public decide what to do with it (3 choices: sent it into outa space and never talk about it again, give it to the Hall Of Fame as it is or give it to the Hall of Fame branded (with an Ecko asterisk)).
Result... check the official, Vote756.
"The idea that some of the best athletes in the country are forced to decide between being competitive and staying natural is troubling."
The man is right, and probably did the best brand move in the past ten years.
nice.
