Cool Poloroid Filter

Posted by nelsdrums on Sun, Nov 16th, 2008

Do you miss the look and feel of Poloroid pictures? Poloroid made a new filter application that you can download for free here: http://www.poladroid.net/.

You can save the file at any part of the “development” process. The top image was saved about halfway through, and therefore lacks some contrast. The bottom image was fully processed. Processed images are 1392×1692 px, regardless of input.

Dexter’s Hit List

If you like the show Dexter, then you will love this ultra-creepy promo. You can make your own personalized “serial killer” video complete with photography and recorded voice. Above is a sample I made for a friend that really freaked him out!

Are you a PC?

Posted by nelsdrums on Sun, Sep 28th, 2008

I just happened upon this new streaming video banner that states “Are you a PC?” (don’t forget to ROLLOVER for sound) for Windows: Life Without Walls campaign. The banner ad links to the website imapc.lifewithoutwalls.com, where you can upload your video claiming your identity as a PC. They even got an Apple “PC Guy” lookalike host.

Coincidentally, your uploaded videos can run on the reuters board in times square just like the Lexus IS photomosaic website of 2007. it seems that there are a lot of repeated images. I guess there haven’t been too many proclaimers yet.

Clever Jeep Ad

I have no idea how they figured this one out. There’s another one that goes with the campaign, but it’s not worth showing. The work is done by BBDO/PROXIMITY, Malaysia. Found at ibelieveinadv.com.

Live Verizon Commercial

Because the sound is so good, this might actually be staged. But it certainly gets everyone’s attention

My iTunes Widget

I just saw this new feature of the iTunes store. How cool would it really be if I were someone who really purchases a lot of music on iTunes? Like Scott Ivener!

An excellent visual resource. Art Of The TItle is a collection of title treatments from television and film. Better go download your favorites before someone sues the poor guy!
