Quite a long piece to watch but there is actual truth in this video 
A great story about how a marketing campaign is made. The characters say what they think and not what they should say. It’s a bit old but still entertaining.

Pirates of Silicon Valley, Office 2010, Google Chrome OS and Wave, and more…

Above: Bill Gates looking envious of Steve Jobs in Pirates of Silicon Valley movie . Today this situation is massively reversed, with Bill having much more money, and Microsoft still the undisputed leader in sales, and market share.
I recently watched the 1999 film, Pirates of Silicon Valley which is based around the creation of the personal computer. The plot is heavily focused on the rise of both Apple and Microsoft (and Xerox’s blunder) and the inspirational but flawed leaders, who set out to conquer the world with computers that are for everyone. The two main characters are of course Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. I thoroughly recommend this movie, even if your not a geek it’s worth seeing, because there is no other movie like it. Oh and by the way, the trailer online doesn’t do the movie justice, and has a number of scenes, that were not in the final movie.

Love the beginning, the karate guys, and the pac man! It’s a little long for my attention span. Still I did watch it all the way through.
Puddle Finishing School Part IV: Church Protocol - A 48hours experience
July 30th, 2009
I’ve been asked for two years to join this so called 48hours film making. But I never got the chance to be part of it as I’ve scheduled my annual leave come April or May to escape New Zealand winter. However this year, I finally got to stay in NZ for this gig. Together with some fabulous Naki peeps I got to take on this 48hours thing (actually it was just 6 hours for me, but hey who’s counting?)
Anyway, our team’s genre was educational, the mandatory element was a rock and the character is Alex Puddle the exaggerator. Our team came up with the idea of a how-to video for everyone aspiring to a great career in undertaking hosted by Alex Puddle.

We made it thru the Hamilton city finals, we walked away with Best Cinematography for the Hamilton heat but didn’t get lucky to get into the Nationals. Boo! 
But hey we loved the experience and we’re proud of our film and WE ROCK! (pun intended)

Self Portrait Machine
July 3rd, 2009
Jen Hui Liao’s Self-Portrait Machine is a device that takes a picture of the sitter and draws it but with the model’s help. The wrists of the individual are tied to the machine and it is his or her hands that are guided to draw the lines that will eventually form the portrait.
I think this is kinda cool!
Recession Logos
May 1st, 2009
Logo-spoofing has always enjoyed great popularity among designers, and the generally geeky (in the most positive sense of the word!) public. A show of fun, critical thinking, and a little deviance (well respected among the creative) may culminate in a T-shirt displaying well-known corporate brand with a twist, like say the Starbucks logo saying “starsucks” instead. In recent times however, this fun practice has both increased, and shifted in theme towards the recession. Here’s a basic collection of what can be found in a session of google / flickr searches.
