This is not Hollywood!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRKcPZt61SQ
The link above is of student riots in London. When I first watched the clip, I was stunned at the the amount of destruction caused in the heart of London. It does look like something out of a Hollywood movie. In the clip, you can see how the police are struggling to take back control and the different methods in which are being used to meet the students.

What is more, I was watching the news with my Dad, were it was being reported that Prince Charles and Camilla came under attack whilst in their car and was actually "poked" with a stick by a protester. The commissioner of Metropolitan Police has since apologised and said to quit his position if the Royals so felt so.

Protesting against uni fees is one thing, but urinating on Winston Churchill is a step too far.

Permanent markers stop you from dying! (Works only if your married)
The link below is to a Indian advertisement for permanent markers. Set in a village, a woman sits at her dying husbands side as he slow pass onto the other side...so we think...
In India, a woman wears a red spot on her forehead to show that she is married. In this short advert, we see the man's family rubbing at this red spot on his wife's head. But it does not clear, indicating that the man is not dead and she is still a wife. As the man regains consciousness, we see a flash back by were he refuses to put the red powered on her forehead, but instead uses a marker! Rather funny yet clever twist.

New Flood Warning Codes
A new set of flood warning signs has been created to make it easier for people to understand.
http://www.southyorkshireemergencies.co.uk/Assets/Flood%20Warning%20Improvement%20Information_tcm13-74829.pdf
The above is a link to the new warnings that have clear distinction between them all, unlike the old warning that were designed from one shade of red. http://www.tandridge.gov.uk/faq/faq.htm?mode=20&pk_faq=156
The new warning logos tick all the right boxes, in terms of being easy to read and understand, having a simple yet effective design and using the correct colours to convey whether a serious warning or just to alert the locals.
It was been taken well, and understood a lot better than the previous attempt.

Pixels by Patrick Jean
If there really was to be a "End of Days" or an "Apocalypse", I hope it would look a bit like Patrick Jean's short film 'Pixels'.
It show case's a rather beautiful disaster in which actual pixels explode out of a T.V left on the streets waiting to be collect away by the bin men and reaking havoc ion New York. The home of disaster movies!
It features classic games as Space Invaders, Pac Man, Tetris and Arkanoid destorying The Great Golden Bridge as they play against the brick work. Donkey Kong is also seen on top of the Empire State Building, re-enacting the famous scene from King Kong.
At the end of the film, a giant bomb explodes in the streets creating a slowly turning the whole world into one giant pixel floating in space.

ITS ALL IN THE, UMMM.... EYES??
Beyonce Knowles advert for her new purfume "HEAT!" as im sure you all know so well, after my presentation, has been BANNED by the ASA after deemed "too sexy!"
The Advertising Standards Agency received 14 complaints about the raunchy advert, and said it was unlikely to offend people but was "sexually provocative" and "was unsuitable to been seen by young children".
As a result the advert will now shown at a later time of 7.30, when all the young girls and boys are MEANT to be sleeping!
I think, this is no accident on behalf of the Beyonce's people, that it is so sexy. Its all done for a reason, either to make money, create free publicity and keep her in the public eye, but I strongly doubt this will damage her reputation, but instead simply enhance it further.

Choose A Different Ending
AMV’s first campaign for The Metropolitan Police dramatised the consequences of carrying a knife. An interactive video series filmed from a teenager’s point-of-view, allowed viewers to directly experience the consequences. 21 films with ten possible endings. The series was hosted on YouTube and supported by an integrated advertising campaign. In its first year, ‘Choose a Different Ending’ was viewed 2,726,084 times. The campaign won BTAA Gold, a D&AD nomination and the Platinum award at Creative Circle.
The campaign aims to dispel the myth that carrying a knife gives you protection and provoke young people to think carefully about their decisions by showing them the consequences of carrying a knife: death, shame on family or prison.
The interactive video is very hard hitting and edgy, keeping the viewer in suspense.

DEADLINE post-it stop motion
I just thought this was a really cool video to share with you guys, and to get those creative juices flowing!
This is a prime example of how something so simple and normal, like post its, can be used to create something so visually stunning.

Guinness- Tipping Point Commercial
Guinness- Tipping Point Commercial
One of the most expensive commercials made, costing £4.65 million and part of a £10 million marketing campaign. The advert was created by advertising agency AMV BBDO (which is well worth checking out). The objects that were toppled in this commercial include 6000 dominoes, 400 tyres, 10,000 books, 75 mirrors, 45 wardrobes, 50 fridges and six cars.
Not only is this advert very cool, but it also shows the community working and having fun together.

The advert was shot on location in a remote side village called Iruya, in the Salta region of northern Argentina, with a population of around 1,000 people. The cast was made up of locals from and around the village area that had not appeared in front of a camera before.
Not only is this advert very cool, but it also shows the community working and having fun together.
