Mobile Phone Viral sorry ADVERT
This video has been doing the rounds the last few weeks, yes its fantastically shot, its a clever idea (although the song is sort of out of tune / time), and it has quite a few YouTube views - it's one of those videos that keeps you guessing what its for, right until the very end, and that's where it becomes extremely disappointing.
What a let down. Two mobile phones sat there, the only connection being a wooden finish to the phone. You could run the same video and plonk a can of dog food at the end, it would't matter, I doubt viewers would care. If they wanted to make this advert "go viral" as I'm sure they did when it was conceived, maybe adding a simple bit of humour to the end would've encouraged more people to send / share it with friends, rather than the worry that they might be spamming.
Maybe after going all that way, playing Bach out of time and tube, the ball knocks into the phones and they splat into mud (face up of course) and the director shouts "take two".

Leaving Card
Was reminded of this today, when I heard someone humming Frank Sinatra's "My Way". When a colleague (Adrian) left Independiente (2003?) we made him a DVD rather than giving him a card - everyone said something to camera, without warning, and all were done in one take. Here's two - Ernan's was my fave, mine played on his gags, but both are now a lovely reminder of the label how it was back then.

ET Sequel!! Trailer For ET-X (The X Stands For Extinction)
"Come on E.T, Let's go save the world!"
Featuring original cast members, Drew Barrymore and Henry Thomas (Elliot) but as grown ups, Peter Coyote (Keys, the FBI / Secret Agent we all thought was a bad guy, that probably got together with Elliott's Mum after the little space alien went home) as well as Bruce Willis (of course) and Morgan Freeman, who isn't playing the US president this time, as it has a cameo from President Obama!
ET has come back.. to save the Earth - from the other ET's that aren't so nice and environmentally friendly!
A fantastically made fan spoof trailer unfortunately, featuring clips from ET, War Of The Worlds and other alien invasion / disaster films but a must watch all the same - I wonder what Steven Spielberg thinks...?
