Levi's + Walt Whitman ?

"OPioneers!" commercial for LEVI'S in USA by Wieden + Kennedy Portland

Shared via AddThis

I've always believed in the richness to be found in classic literature. Glad to see it's being put to good use by levi's--course it's not surprise to me, but the words Wieden + Kennedy selected seem to fit especially well with the state of "America" at present. Makes me wonder what other uses we could find for some other great works of literature. We combine pre-recorded music and advertising all the time, why not throw in some pre-written words?

who invented the intermittent windshield wiper?

a thought provoking movie about an inventor's cause and whether it was worthy.

give the audience cameras?

I heard about this Beastie Boys Movie during a social media webinar some time last month. Really cool way to incorporate audience participation into a concert. Wish I could find the actual movie...

I saw this SNL digital short a couple weeks ago then I ran into it again yesterday online. It made me laugh both times so I decided to post it.

hats off to Canada!

Everyone's seen these "locals know" commercials for Canada, yeah? These are one of few commmercials I'll take the tv off mute for, and I'm always watching out for ones I haven't seen. Today I checked out the website--localsknow.ca--and the campaign's pretty much what it looks like. Locals can upload their own super cool Canada vids and pics to the site, then some of them get made into commercials. Only thing for me was that, I went there hoping to find some more videos, but all I could get to easily were the ones I'd already seen on tv. It was defo really easy to set up a trip from the site though, so that's good. (Although I still would rather watch the videos than actually go to Canada, but that's just me)

fun and environmentally friendly

I was on my way to something else, when I ran across this little interactive quiz I had to complete, you know how that is. Handy information as well as captivating presentation--well done. Also I learned that it would take 2.5 planet earths to support my lifestyle...hm...better get to work then!
Have you measured your ecofoot today?

oops, it's a video!

I know flash is nothing new. Some people, some important people, have told me don't even bother with it. But every once in a while I run across a page I'd be proud to call my own, flash or no. This movie by the quicksilver team is guaranteed to tickle even the snooties webster. thanxs, buddys!
