Here’s an awesome short Film done by a group of very creative South African’s calling themselves the Blackheart Gang.  It’s a very cool story about an island of Kiwi’s who keep getting eaten by a huge octopus that doesn’t allow them to live in peace or leave the island until one of them gets an idea to put messages in a  bottle and throw them into the ocean…

Creative Design: Read at Work

A very creative campaign from Clemenso BBDO, an Auckland based Advertising agency, for the New Zealand Book Council is the launch of the site Read at Work. What this flash site does is mask your entire screen as a Windows Desktop and fill it with folders of faux Powerpoint presentations (which actually look like real work documents! but are works of literature by some of literatures greats such as Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Oscar Wilde and Emily Dickinson.

So for those who would like to do a little reading at work but don’t feel comfortable kicking back with a paperback, here’s the site for you to do just that… Read at Work.

P.S. The Windows desktop might arouse more suspicion if you work on a Mac :P

Let the Government Pay for Your Music Video

What a Brilliant idea… the unsigned UK Band, The Get Out Clause, wanted to make a music video but couldn’t afford the high cost of all the camera crew and equipment. So they spotted suitable sights all over Britain which were covered by the surveillance cameras – Britain has about 13 million of these cameras so suitable locations for the band were not hard to come by.

They set up their sound equipment and began to play at the different locations… then they wrote to all the security companies asking them to hand over the video footage under the Freedom of Information Act! Brilliant!
