ManMeng's Lifepad

[Inspiration]

Touted as being different with other competitors, Levi’s promotes ‘shape’ not size in Tokyo through this :

Site : https://hipmail.jp/

A refreshed idea, that instead of sending message via text, you do it using hip (ass). The site does feel very UNIQLOish to me (Which is probably a good thing). However, the video’s ending felt (sadly) familiar with the Sony Bravia Bouncing Ball ad, colourful things inside video, lots of them, thin typeface, one-liner statement.

Which reminds me of a campaign by UNIQLO long time ago,

Though the selection of girls in the video are fascinating, however I strongly felt the disconnection of user participation with the medium.

[Inspiration] 7 fan-made videos that is made of pure WIN

Sometimes I just do not understand what is in the head of the Hollywood writers or directors, especially when they want to deal with adaptation of videos games to the silver screen. They either screw it up, or fuck it up real bad. Literally. What puzzles me is they often have a big hoo-hah and marketing campaign to promote the movie and blew it out of propotion most of the time, in terms of distorting the fans, be it hard core or casual fan that the movie rocked big time (even though it sucks). Call this a ranting thread from a fan but I would like to show you more than useless rant, a clear comparison between fan-made videos that stayed true to the game essense to those feces that Hollywood churned out in the past years. And with all the ventures of online videos these days, it is really hard for the big movie studios to ignore all these fan-uploaded videos. Why? Because you will be surprised even for a $500 and a little bit of passion, a lot can be done, and outdone the big guys.

I would give my deepest respect to the creators of the video that took their time, effort and passion to make all this gem. It’s priceless. If you love video games, manga or anime. Please watch it. Though there are countless fan-made videos that has been created all this years and can be see on video sites like Youtube, I had chose some of the best and fine example in comparison to 4 failed example from the big guys. Enjoy reading!
