广告也能这样拍 2

这是矿泉水广告？

韩国人的创意很奇怪，不过
我喜欢, 够怪。

原来这样也可以

原来科技产品的广告，也可以这样拍的。

Sharp 产品广告系列




几唯美下。

有点不理智的迷上了以上广告的男主角，姜东元。觉得他某个角度长的很象我喜欢的日本演技派演员，椎名桔平。只是他年轻了好十几岁，而且是韩国流行的花美男。( hm.....他的年纪可能不是。。 )

喜欢他的声音，低沉的很calming。

不久前看了他主演的《我们的幸福时光》* 。蛮不错的。对他诠释死囚临死前的最后几分钟，印象很深刻。那一幕骗了我不少眼泪呢。该［＊］的韩片。以前很抗拒看韩剧的我，现在对它是又爱又恨的。(笑) 需要痛哭流泪来发泄情绪的时候，韩剧绝对是不错的选择。不过我想这种发泄方式，大多数只有女性会用吧？( 虽然我有相熟的男性友人，泪腺也很发达的 )(笑)

这部英文译名叫 [ Maunder Thursday ], 我觉的更加的适合。不会让人觉得又是一部爱情片。它其实让我想起了 [ Green Mile ] another great film, good script and great acting。 由其是那黑人要上电椅的一幕。要正面“迎接”死亡的恐惧。最后那段漆成绿色，通往邢房的通道。漫长，漫长。

问自己，死刑真的有必要吗？如果死囚已经忏悔，并被自己的愧疚折磨着。那还需要 a life for a life 吗？罚他／她一辈子活在愧疚里，够不够？无解。

当然，如果没有这样的制度，也许世界会变成毫无法制。那也不行。


＊《我们的幸福时光》是改编自韩国女作家孔枝泳的同名小说，描写了杀害3人的死刑犯和3次试图自杀的女性之间的悲伤爱情故事。

抱怨和憎恨这个世界而试图想死的两个男女每一个星期都在监狱的探房见面之后互相在对方的身上得到安慰，重新面对人生的即感人又温馨的故事。 (source from http://www.i5888.com)

2008 Polaroid ceased production of all instand film..............this is the story of the photographers who loved it.....the ones who wanted to save it and the man crazy enough to try.

Bring your own bag - Edward Norton

Bring your own bag. Stop using plastic bag.

When I was in Lijiang, I was really surprised that they do not use plastic bag. They charged you for every paper bag that you used. So when I got back to Singapore, I have collected more than 4-5 paper bags of every sizes , coz I kept on forgetting to bring my own shopping bags. hahaha~~

That was way before our "Bring your own bag Wednesday". In 2006. We really should not be complaining about the 10 cents that are charged.

And speaking of playing a part in saving the environment, no one beat Taiwan and Japan. When I was in Taiwan, my Taiwanese friend picked up the pet bottles that we have just threw away , washed it and put it into a separate trash bag so that the collector can recycle them later. We were so embarrassed. =P

Seriously, it is really time for us to be more aware of our environment. Ha, and me included. I wont lie, sometimes I forget to bring my own bag for grocery shopping too. =P Nowadays, I keep a small foldable bag in my bag so that I can use it any time.

Its an conscious effort. =)

Think family

" So to my beautiful children , I hope one day......you too find yourself life partners, who are as beautifully imperfect, as your father was to me."

Saw the new public awareness campaign of National Family Council on channel five. I was really impressed by the 3 mins long tv campaign. Someone have put time and soul into creating this ad. Well worth a round of applause.

Especially love the part where the wife joked about the deceased snoring. Toward the end of the decease life, the snoring became an indicator that he was still alive. How familiar was that. I remembered a time when I was one of the caretaker to my granny. Towards the last few day, it was the same. Every little breath she took, was an indicator.

I love the " lightheartedness" the director has set for the advert. Its not about the mourning for the decease. It is about the celebration of one life. No crying, all smile. =)

Beautifully imperfect........
How well said, cause we are all imperfect in one way or another but there will be someone out there that will appreciate and fully embraced that imperfectness. Its beautiful.

Vote for Hope

This is the coolest music video I have ever seen done for a presidential campaign. Its actually makes me want to vote too. =) Great pieces of propaganda.

I don't know much about the America politic but for whatever news clips I have heard and see, Barack Obama is my choice too. However, can he deliver what he preached,only time would tell ( and of coz if Americans vote for him )

Here's some information that goes with this video :
With the 2008 presidential election, Americans face a pivotal choice between not just two candidates, but two paradigms. We need someone who understands the complexity of our time. Someone who believes in investing in renewable energy, in education, in women's rights, in civil rights, in healthcare for Americans. Someone who believes in dealing with global issues with diplomacy so we can restore our respect in the world. Barack Obama represents the change we need and can lead us into a brighter future.

Vote For Hope was written to encourage and inspire the hip hop generation—and everyone—to get involved, and contribute their time, energy, creativity, and other resources to be the change they want to see in the world. We have been inspired by the artistic and musical contributions that have been pouring out accross the nation in support of Barack Obama's campaign. Vote for Hope is our offering to this creative movement. It is our way of adding our small voice to the collective voice of millions of Americans calling for a change.

"Vote for Hope" was written by M.C. Yogi and produced by Robin Livingston. The "Vote for Hope" video was created at Ursa Minor Arts and Media in San Rafael, CA with chief animator James Curtis, using designs and direction from M.C. Yogi. Video funded and supported by grassroots donations.
