Wyld Stallyons do Lingerie

Those crazy guys, Wyld Stallyons have done some neat work here for Lascivious: The Doll. This is a great example of a small company, working on a what I imagine to be a very modest budget, producing class A, professional looking work. The idea however leaves a few things to be desired. It's been done before, but then, these are pop promo dudes and hence they've essentially made a pop promo as a piece of advertising. Style over substance, but is that really a bad thing? It's sexy and dark... and I like sexy and dark... oh and fembots.



Below I've posted their behind the scenes doc. It shows the modest array of off-the-shelf hardware and software that they've used effectively to create a real cinematic look for this piece. Another example of getting the right balance between creative minds on the ideas front, and a creatively led production team to bring the thing to life. Maybe if they'd spend a bit more time thinking about the idea it would have made something more compelling beyond the fist viewing. Nice going guys....got any jobs going? haha

Blowing Lynx Blow into the winds of the Interweb


Today my work is dull but noteworthy in the books of rampant self-promotion, Ad-land rhetoric and western corruption of the Interweb.

I am a digital Utopian.

I Believe that the Interweb should be Advertisement Free.

I Work for a Company which makes Ads for the Interweb.

I am a self contradiction.

Hence I am in two minds about my task for the day: to populate message boards and listings sites with Lynx Blow "Seeds". Am I am the graffiti artist with nothing but a stale tag-line to scrawl? No; I do believe that Lynx Blow is something new, exciting.... I should do as I was one of the main driving forces behind its creation. I gave it digital direction, nurtured it like a little plant and was there every step of the way until it blossomed through a season of well executed teamwork into a summer of winter wonderland. Therefore I should be proud to scrawl its tagline - http://www.lynxblow.com on every bare wall I see in this macabre digital landscape... and in some ways I am. So here it is:

"Wow - check out this funky site, interesting, sexy and innovative."



http://www.lynxblow.com
- plug up your headphones to your computer and blow the girls bra off. A different way of interacting with a site; the mouse won't take you anywhere you need to blow.... like the wind... blow.... Is this a possible future model for Human Computer Interaction? I would like to think so.

Oh and here's a photo:
