might be the last last one to be on this but... LIFEINADAY..24/07/2010

LOVE these big collaborative campaigns, youtube do them bloody well too.
"Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald discusses his latest project, Life In A Day: a historic global experiment to create a user-generated documentary film shot in a single day.
On July 24, you have 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into an experimental documentary film, executive produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin."
The film will premiere at the Sundance festival 2011 and, should you get your footage shown, you will be put into the credits as a co-director, with the possibility of being one of 20 to be taken to the festival with Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald.

Bring back the personal touch to your (E) letters...

Liking the concept, hope it works as smoothly as it seems on the vid (highly doubt it). Great, simple idea.

Do it...

The next step toward me living inside a modern day modified 'After Burner' arcade machine...

So another item to add to the 'I'll have one of these for my next Christmas/Birthday present' list...

Hermes kicks... HERMES KICKS. I will never wear them, but I want them. Just like one of those lilo-shaped kites that lifts you up into the air, which for the record I also really want.

Wanna see what its like to go to North Korea?

From the guy that brought you Vice magazine and VBS.TV, 'North Korean Madness'...

This guys got balls, I saw him on another DVD going to Chernobyl where he had to drink copious amounts of vodka to slow the effects of the severe radioactivity in the area.
Love Vice.

Takeshi Murata...

Visual creative wizardry using Flash/after Effects/Cinema 4D. Love the obvious experimental style he has, looks so alluring. Its brilliant when people take a medium to one of its infinite limits. Adobe never had this in mind.

Cannes Lions...

The best advertising awards (I can think of right now), happened over the weekend. Some really impressive stuff this year.
Definitely worth a look!

A real sad story...

Right Im gonna tell you all this once, and this is the last thing im ever going to say on the matter as the pain is just too unbearable to keep with me, after this last telling of the story im cutting the cord...
So, after reading my last post you will have gained that I was heading to Glastonbury festival last Thursday, I was so excited, Bags packed, youtube videos watched to hype myself up, alcohol brought and plastic bottled, I even borrowed an old phone so that I wouldn't have to rely on a shitty iphone battery, basically we were all set and ready to rock. I fell asleep the night before with butterflies in my stomach and even did that little 'running on the spot while laying down' thing you used to do when it was christmas eve as a kid. Next morning I woke up, an hour before my alarm, and rolled around with my eyes closed and slowly remembered that it was the day we were off to Glasto, happy. Then, as I rolled over, I felt a small uncomfortableness in my neck just below the right side of my jaw and I felt it with my fingertips. A small painful lump, about the size of a sachet of ketchup and as soon as I had felt it I knew exactly what it was... MUMPS (my girlfriend and her housemates had gotten it 2 weeks ago). Fucking mumps, and I havent really left my room since. Physically lumpy and emotionally scarred.
"These things happen", you might say, and "theres always next year" but this one was a special one, It was the 40th, it was the World Cup, but most of all it was sunny, VERY SUNNY. for those of you from outside the UK Its virtually never sunny at Glastonbury festival, kind of an ongoing joke.
So despite my saying in my last post I would have a full Glasto review... I don't... just a real sad story... and a (now boiled egg sized) mump on my jaw.
...still, these things happen, theres alway next year.

ARGH!...

and ARRRRGHHH!!!...

Ladies and gents...

Im doing some top secret guerilla-style advertising around London tonight so keep your peepers out for it tomorrow!
Also I will be galavanting off to Glastonbury (if you hadn't realised that yet) so my next post will be the next coming Monday, I know. I know, "but Josh, how will I cope without your marvellous words and delectable digital titbits?!?", You will just have to fill that void by reading a good book or looking up the days events at the festival thereby possibly seeing me and imagining me giving you a youtube link.
Keep your ears, and eyes, pricked up for the Glastonbury story on MONDAY.

Augmented festival app that may actually be of real use! HELLO!

FREE purchase of this functional masterpiece (dont quote me on that, just saying its gonna be a good one to have [providing you dont have a bloody iPhone without anything less than a generator strapped onto it])... HERE!
From what I can quickly gather from the picture, You can see where all the stages are and who's playing now and next very quickly and easily, good for those blurred moments spent bumbling around lost looking for someone you know after heading for the toilets because you couldn't hold on to that 2 pinter any longer, even if it did mean you would miss the end of your favorite band/DJ...
AND (jesus, you guys are getting your Glasto rocks off here eh?) a full and timed line up for the festival so that those of you that are going can spend hours making a list of exactly who you want to see and those who aren't going can set up your Sky Plus, bite your fists and vow to go next year... OFFICIAL FULL LISTINGS WITH TIMES.
