too kool for skool

As technology is getting more advanced and so is photoshop with the latest update of version 5 and all the softwares constantly upgrding, it's no wonder the things we see are getting more advanced too. Take for example, tv commercials.
Last time it would be simple transitions and shots of the product and tadah!
But check out some of the cool advertisements I've found that do really cool effects!







Cool yes! Nowadays watching tv isn't just about the movies or dramas but about looking out for cool advertisements too. Love it when people try to get cr8tive instead of staying in the square.

I love music videos.
I think it's a great way to incorporate the latest visual effects that you picked up and work it in with the 3:14 mins with the artist and make an interesting video that represents the meaning of the song or the interpretation that the singer wants.
Some work off well, some just look like they are trying to hard.
But at least they tried.
Now we know what works or in their case, what doesn't work.

Here's a video that has typography element in it:



Here's one that has an interesting concept but uhm, looks a little too fake?

I like that they tried to do it more cinematically though..
Most R&B songs just put in busty women walking or dancing around and call it a day.

back to history

List of cartoons I've loved | Influenced me how?
Tom & Jerry new ways to escape a hungry cat
Bugs bunny like chewing on a carrot saying what's up doc?
Mickey Mouse mickey and minnie eating corn like typewriters! ding!
Betty Boop was there a bull dog?
Pokemon gotta catch 'em all! Pika pika.

So there. The cartoons that have shaped me into who I am now, would they have been proud?

Lately people have been debating that cartoons teach kids the wrong value by showing violent or sexual things but honestly I was totally ignorant of what went on and just laughed at all the gags and grew up pretty normal anyway.
Yeah at least I think I'm not so weird.... Hm.

But these were the cartoons that made me appreciate practical jokes and carrots and rabbits and pokemon and talk all funny like Ash Kutcher, the english-dubbed version.

Yeah I'm not so weird.
