"invisibles" on tv

this was our idea for the TV commercial...
it took me hours to get this visuals... my digital skills are still so bad...

anyway. i'm PROUD of the final look.

next time i'll try to do it better and QUICKER!

comments, please!

the last but not the least

this "press ad" is part of our last campaign for College. me & Josh came up with this idea of "invisible children" for the Barnardo's Young Carers campaign.

it's not perfect. it's not fantastic.
but it was the best way we found to support our first thought.

leave your comment, please!

my precious...

i wish it was my idea...

Portugal em 'estado de graça'

"(...) Portugal não se deveria reduzir ao fado e à nostalgia. E está na altura de os portugueses mudarem o seu destino."

by Sara Peres (in cadernosdejornalismo)


Pois é, cara amiga Sara! Enquanto Portugal continuar a patrocinar as Micaelas, os Carreiras e as Ágatas, esse 'estado de graça' de que falas permanecerá estagnado (aqui, entendido como sem graça nenhuma) e sem projecção qualquer no estrangeiro.

Fico triste quando Portugal é reconhecido cá apenas pelo futebol e pelo clima ameno (que aqui é descrito como sendo tropical, quais Caraíbas...).

Mas Cultura não é só música. São as Letras, o Cinema, o Teatro, as Festas Populares, o Galo de Barcelos, o Zé Povinho, os Velhos do Restelo, o Vasco da Gama, enfim, tudo aquilo que contribui ou contribuiu para a construção da identidade do país.

Corrijam-me se eu estiver errado.

"Para o teórico Milton Santos (que por sinal é brasileiro), o conhecimento e saber renovam-se através do choque de culturas, sendo a produção de novos conhecimentos e técnicas produto directo da interposição de culturas diferenciadas - com o somatório daquilo que anteriormente existia.

Para ele, a globalização que se verificava já em fins do século XX tenderia a uniformizar os grupos culturais, e logicamente uma das consequências seria o fim da produção cultural, enquanto gerador de novas técnicas e a sua produção original.

Isto reflectiria, ainda, na perda de identidade, primeiro das colectividades, podendo ir até ao plano individual."

Estará Portugal a perder a sua identidade? Ou já a perdeu?

Quero opiniões! Vá. Toca a escrever!

when i grow up...

When I grow up I want to work in a Big Advertising Agency & drive a Rolls-Royce! What about you?

Creative or not, I like the visuals... What do you think? Are the brazilians doing a good job or not?

himself

Salvador Dalí is considered as the greatest artist of the surrealist art movement and one of the greatest masters of art of the 20th century.

During his lifetime the public got a picture of an excentric paranoid. His personality caused a lot of controversy. Throughout his life he cultivated eccentricity and exhibitionism (one of his most famous acts was appearing in a diving suit at the opening of the London Surrealist exhibition in 1936), claiming that it was the source of his creative energy.

"He described his pictures as "hand-painted dream photographs" and had certain favorite and recurring images, such as the human figure with half-open drawers protruding from it, burning giraffes, and watches bent and flowing as if made from melting wax (The Persistence of Memory, MOMA, New York; 1931)."

In 1937, Dalí visited Italy and adopted a more traditional style. This together with his political views (he was a supporter of General Franco) led Breton to expel him from the Surrealist ranks.

He moved to the USA in 1940 and remained there until 1955. During this time, he devoted himself largely to self-publicity. His paints were often on religious themes (The Crucifixion of St John of the Cross, Glasgow Art Gallery, 1951). Although, sexual subjects and pictures centring on his wife Gala were also continuing preoccupations. in 1955, he returned to Spain and in old age became a recluse.

Apart from painting, Dalí's output included sculpture, book illustration, jewellery design, and work for the theatre. In collaboration with the director Luis Buñuel he also made the first Surrealist films - Un chien andalou (1929) and (1930) - and he contributed a dream sequence to Alfred Hitchcock's L'Age d'orSpellbound (1945). He also wrote a novel, Hidden Faces (1944) and several volumes of flamboyant autobiography.

He is undoubtedly one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Even though, many critics consider that he did little if anything of consequence after his classic Surrealist works of the 1930s. As a matter of fact, there are museums devoted to Dalí's work in Figueras, his home town in Spain, and in St. Petersburg in Florida.

For all this, and much more, I want to leave here my tribute to this magnificent person and artist of all time. Thank you very much, Salvador Dalí!

Abadia

undoubtly the best tv commercial i've seen during my Easter holiday in Portugal. even though, i still believe they don't know the meaning of TOO MUCH! i can tell you by the money spent on this "hollywoodish" production - €10m.

Super Bock Abadia is the first beer produced in Portugal using the traditional recipe. it is characterized by a rich aroma, stronger and embodied, fruited and alive, with a smooth and comforting taste and the most intense colour due to the use of special varieties of malte.

the creative concept of Super Bock Abadia’s packaging takes us to an ancestral environment, keeping the identity of the lettering – in red – over the rosette of Leça do Balio’ Monastery, now with a stylised, simplified, more modern and dynamic image.

i totally recommend it!

movies are made to be seen

this french tv commercial is certainly a good laugh! it is for me anyway.

movies are made to be seen

i'm sure this March of the Penguins is a must seen.

if not, read this: "with short steps, bent under the pitiless burden of a driving snowstorm, the emperor penguin labours through a vast labyrinth of ice. around him, all is white, all is in violent flux. yet the valiant bird never falters, undaunted by seemingly insurmountable obstacles. he keeps going. in this land where no other creature ventures, the emperor continues on to his romantic rendezvous. as it follows the winter migration of the emperor penguin, March of the Penguins tells a tale of legendary proportions, portraying the strange, spectacular destiny of powerful and emotionally-involving characters, rich in courage and humour, mystery and manifest drama."
