JM Script Project update

Some nice dudes worked up our sony vaio script project into a nice animation.

Snow Angel

The film was directed by the incredibly talented Laurie Proud.

As JM would say - a good script has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Malkovich 2.0

Like Ewarwoowar, I try not to post much of the work that we do at Dare, in an effort to stay sane if nothing else. This site however is definitely worth a mention as to me it represents the good side of Web 2.0. It is a site to educate, to stir up ideas while asking for a well thought out response.

If only the Tube could have captured the essence of thinking before you upload as well as this small project. This project, of course stated it's claim in planet User Generated Content (a small moon orbiting Planet User Generated Crap) right from the start in that it was for Sony - a brand holding themselves high up.like.no.other in an otherwise over saturated technology market. Claridges, rather than McDonalds contributions please.

But beyond fast food video, there are still a large range of good video sites, quality controlled and vetted for the best which I still wouldn't think twice about sending my work too. However I took ages, with my mouse hovered over the submit button on this Malkovich site. Is it that I hold careful consideration of words as a higher art than the same of images? Or is it because I was hammered into writing with a fountain pen by my primary school teacher, while told there was no right or wrong in art class.

Who cares? The fact is that web is full of pictures of nudey girls, rude boy race-car videos, User Generated Idiocy and hastily designed pages. We are much less the land of flowing milk and honey for design as envisaged by the futurists, more like conurbation riddled with more back allies than Soho. Maybe it's time creators of 2.0 sites raised the bar in their briefs for quality over quantity of uploaded content. This is a site with a challenge I've enjoyed. Touché my friends.

Geeky Sony Fans

... who tune into You Tube to look at Sony related PR bullshit seemed to give my spoof video of the Tower Block blowing up rather a lot of attention.

A while ago I saw some mobile phone footage on You Tube, showing the Bravia boys shooting up an old Glaswegian tower block with balls of paint. "Colour like No Other" was the line. Below is my ironic take on the clip. Take it of leave it - I though it was funny for 5mins work. .... It's not suppost to be real by the way, despite the youtube comments.
