Ridley Scott partners with Philips to bring Blade Runner universe expansion

Here's the latest follow up on Ridley and Tony Scott’s ambitious project to produce an open source / transmedia expansion of the Blade Runner narrative universe under Creative Commons.


Launched earlier this year, Purefold, the open media franchise conceived by Ag8 and developed in partnership with the Scott brother’s RSA Films and Baby Cow Productions, came to an halt due to a combination of factors that prevented this bold enterprise from gathering the required funds to get off the ground.


As a phoenix bird the concept reborn from its ashes to give life to Philips Parallel Lines campaign launched today.

Fully integrated into Facebook and Youtube, Philips teamed up with five hotshot film directors from Ridley Scott Associates and challenged them each to create a cutting-edge short film to showcase the great Ambilight, picture and sound capabilities of Philips TVs. 

The 5 films are Jun and The Hidden Skies, Darkroom, El Secreto de Mateo, The Gift and The Hunt.

This tight product placement execution explores the universe of Bladerunner uber-coolness, and other spellbinding genres of filmmaking including drama, adventure, horror, sci-fi and thriller to showcase Philips hi-definition

The Selling Game explores the Future of Advertising

"It's a bizarre new world of persuasion. The Selling Game takes a High Definition tour from New York to Silicon Valley, to a tiny cheese factory in England, to get to the bottom of it all. Give us an hour of attention, and we'll see that you never look at ads the same way again. Satisfaction guaranteed, or your money back. Honest."

A FEW FACTS

- Advertising is about 1% of the world's gdp.

- North American advertising is a US$300 billion a year industry.

- Global web advertising became bigger than cinema advertising in 1997. It overtook Billboard ads in 2006 and radio in 2009.

Fuite de pétrole dans le Golfe du Mexique en Temps-Réel

Tony Hayward, CEO BP

TRAGÉDIE EN TEMPS-RÉEL
Afin de déjouer les tentatives de contrôle de l'information orchestrées par BP pour cacher au public la quantité réelle de pétrole crachée quotidiennement dans le Golfe du Mexique par la plate-forme Deepwater Horizon, PBS Newshour a créé, en collaboration avec la National Oceanic et l'Atmospheric Administration, ce sinistre compteur qui estime en temps-réel le nombre de gallons de pétrole  déversés à ce jour dans l'océan...

The Origins of Youth Marketing

FACT: Board games and toys were used to spread racial and political propaganda to German youth.

Nazi Party targeted German youth as a special audience for its propaganda messages. These messages emphasized that the Party was a movement of youth: dynamic, resilient, forward-looking, and hopeful.

Learn more about how the Nazi invented the bases of youth marketing during World War II in this excellent article called Shaping the Future: Indoctrinating Youth by the Holocaust Encyclopedia.

The Mist (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) (DVD NEW)
What remains in the mist?

By Andres Restrepo from Montreal on 4/11/2010

5out of 5

Pros: Engaging Characters, Original, Smart
Best Uses: Adult Viewers
Describe Yourself: Movie Buff

What happens when civilization collapse under the attack from a swarm of horrific creatures from beyond the mist?

What will remain standing when the mist veils all; reason, fate, courage, fanatism, hope?

This is a definitely worth seeing sci-fi classic from the master of horror himself : Stephen King.
