I somehow missed yesterday, I don’t exactly know where I was … anyway.. here are today’s links

The GAME OVER Project takes videogames classics (pole position, space invaders, pong and coming up; tetris) and bring them to life! Literraly. Great idea for a stop motion project. And I love the music/sound effetcs. “GAME OVER […] consists of a series of collaborative animation movies which revive some of the very first video games. The pixels are replaced by a group of real human-beings that are moving from seat to seat in a theatre.”

That’s a great idea. It creates buzz and it has a useful fonction in relation with the product. I mean, if I was in Sweden I would definitely check it out! And plus, I need a winter jacket… A cold chamber to try out a winter jacket.

Contagious magazine has a great warp-up of recent wom or innovative marketing initiative, highlighting the work of Greepeace, Freixenet Cava, Viktor & Rolf, ex-owned, Lancia, Eurobest, and more.

On my last website, I stated that “Big Ideas” was an interest of mine. Well I’m lucky coz Good Magazine just publised a list of Big Ideas. “Constantly reaching slightly beyond our grasp is what steers us to the best ideas, and leaves us ready to face the yet-unknown challenges of tomorrow.” They’ll add one idea per day from 2 days ago I guess. They are right now at…. 2 ideas.

Featured on QBN is the portfolio of sound designer home k one (and he’s french so, since I’m trying to integrate my new culture as much as possible…!). I love the sound designer job. He’s the guy that will, well, design sound of movies, tv shows, websites (the latter in this case). I met one a couple of months back and he was passionnate about his job and explained everything wonderfully. Since I can’t do it that well, I’m directing you on the wikipedia entry!

I can’t believe how much unfacebook thing have been circulating lately on the net … The last one “I think that everyone really should take the time to read them. They need to understand that anything they post on Facebook can be used by Facebook and re sold to a third party. This is very important, particularly artists who are sensitive to their copy rights.”

I missed that article from Naomie Klein (No Logo, The Shock Doctrine) called “Forget the green technology - the hot money is in guns“. I love Naomie Klein (ideas ;P). Even though I think her book No Logo was a bit of a strech, I think it’s awesomely documented and a must-read for anyone in marketing. “We can choose to fix (the environment), or we can choose to fortress. Environmental activists and scientists have been yelling for the fix. The homeland security sector, on the other hand, believes the future lies in fortresses.”
Here’s the list of articles Klein wrote for the Guardian.

Artist of the day is also the buzz of the week, Lekky Li. But hey! It’s good ;P
