David Lynch on product placement

David Lynch on Product Placement:

Truer words were never spoken!

Geekest thing of the week, especially with those yellow letters.

Branded Entertainment trends

I came across an article from productplacement.biz, an article which actually refers to a report from futurescape.tv. Nevertheless here are the main things from the report:

"The report identifies three major trends in original online TV series.

Trend 1: Increasing numbers of famous actors, producers and directors are launching Internet TV series, with blue chip sponsors

Examples:
- Director Bryan Singer (X-Men) is working on a scifi Web series.
- Director Ridley Scott (Gladiator) is backing scifi production Purefold.



Trend 2: Sound business models and commercial opportunities are emerging

- digital download sales
(e.g. Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog's production has been distributed online via video aggregator Hulu, with advertising, and as a paid-for download via Apple's iTunes, before its DVD release. Whedon says the show became profitable from downloads alone.)
- major brand sponsorship
- web site commissions
(e.g. Video aggregation sites Babelgum and My Damn Channel offer Web show producers new commissions and exclusive distribution windows)
- cross-promoting commercial interests
(e.g. Hilary Duff's series The Chase features her fashion collection, Femme for DKNY Jeans.)
- reaching TV viewers via games consoles
(e.g. Microsoft funded two seasons of gamer comedy the Guild to provide original content direct to TV viewers for the Xbox 360 Live Marketplace.)


NEIL PATRICK HARRIS !!!

Trend 3: Web shows will break out across the entertainment sector generally

Example:
To promote the show's third season, the producers created a music video with an original song, Do You Wanna Date My Avatar, uploaded it on YouTube and invited fans to buy the song as iTunes and Amazon downloads.

Without a conventional marketing campaign or record label, the song gatecrashed the music download charts, going to no. 1 on Amazon MP3 downloads and no.1 on iTunes music video downloads, overtaking acts such as Black Eyed Peas."

Bruce Willis' .. Tupee!
I am sure I'm not the only one who draw my attention to it. Nevermind, of course I made this post only to be able to use this awkward transition to mention these two things:

a) This movie seems to kick ass
b) Willis looks rocking-good in this movie without the hairdo

Couple of sick & sweet posters

#1 Pandorum posters
Artists are really having fun here and you can feel it!
Edgy, talented and we want more.



# 2 Pandorum motion poster
Motion poster is a relatively new thing and propably yet to be fully exploited. Here it has been made of good usage! Enjoy!
>> pandorum twisted and sweet motion poster<<


# 3 Jeremy Saunder's Antichrist Poster
More artistic. Yet creepier and more horrible.

Last but not least. I'm afraid you cannot fully appreaciate this poster until you have seen the movie. But it hits the mark when you have and will leave an imprint in your memory once you know.

True Blood Drinking Game

I found this from youtube and must absolutely share. It seems that I am one pitiful sucker (yes, sucking pun intended) for that show.
