A Bad Day for Benny

Filed under: Marketing, Music, Viral — Tags: A Bad Day for Benny, Crystle Clear, The Insomniax — Ansel @ 2:50 pm July 16, 2010

Traffic Wardens: We can’t stand them. The Insomniax: If you don’t know them, by the time we’re finished you will do.

Crystle Clear Cinema presents A Bad Day For Benny trailor for the impending short film, featuring Insomniax band member and fully paid up theatre performer Mark Anderson. Benny’s the Warden who can never catch a break, though we can probably agree that he doesn’t deserve one.

With soundtrack by The Insomniax and a cameo by INX’s very own Doctor Sydney Velvet (that’s right), what this video hints at is a) the versatility required by the modern performer and b) the analytical / creative spontaneity of American Director Crystle Clear who discovered a phenomenon we despise and turned it into a short film we can warm to.

The Secret Behind Nike Air :: April Fools Special

Filed under: Film, Viral — Tags: Nike, The Secret Behind Nike Air — Ansel @ 10:10 pm April 1, 2010

I was lamenting the lack of quality April Fools jokes today when an article about Unicorns on the telebox came along, and had our MD Steph done up a kipper.

Another quality contribution comes by way of NIke’s film, which documents how they get that special air into their NIke Air trainers.

Check out how Apple manage a nice bit of product placement 0:26 in. These big boys never seem to miss a trick.

Shadrack and the Mandem :: Hood Stuff Pt.1 & 2

Filed under: Film, Marketing, Viral — Tags: Clickreplay.tv, Shadrack and the Mandem — Ansel @ 1:07 pm March 25, 2010


Self deprecating humour doesn’t normally come high on the young alpha males’ CV, but that could be about to change. Let me introduce you to Shadrack and the Mandem, courtesy of Clickreplay.tv

It’s high time that ‘urban’ male posturing got a full satirical send-up and Shadrack’s series of video treats send the whole culture up through the roof. Coupled with a twitter campaign that takes the concept onto new 140 letter highs and what you’ve got is comedy for a new age with a level of wisdom and insight that is ageless.

In their own words, Clickreplay.tv want to ’simply be the back bone of, online home grown UK comedy entertainment.’ And anything is possible, as this is what I call true cultural ownership of the good, the bad, the ugly & the absolutely hilarious.

Andy Barefoot :: Make your own David Cameron poster

Filed under: Advertising, Mash-Ups, Politics, Viral — Tags: Andy Barefoot, Make your own David Cameron poster — Ansel @ 12:54 am January 23, 2010

If you’ve walked past an oversized image of David Cameron and thought ‘what are you looking at?’ only to get an empty glare back, then Andy Barefoot’s very funny site gives you the chance to write your own response for the Conservative campaign poster for the upcoming UK general election.

You can change the line and the logo. Hell, if you’re really up for it, you can change the shape of the election itself.
