This is a spectacular accomplishment by Renaud Hallée.

“In this film Carlos Mandelbaum discusses the movement in marketing from creating ads and TV spots to creating conversations about brands. A must-see for anyone in the advertising business, as well as an eye-opener for all of us who consume marketing communications each and every day.”

What do you think? One YouTube commenter had a good argument….

“Hmmm… photography site where people don’t talk about cameras, nikon vs canon, what’s the best lens this or that. What kind of photography site is that? When I was shoping for my 10-20mm Sigma lens I read a lot of CGM about lenses, there’s a mountain? of it.”

Would you agree or disagree?

Bonus clip after the jump… Do you LOVE your favorite brands? Hug your Pepsi’s!!!

From Wikipedia: Ed Fella (born 1938) is an artist, educator and graphic designer whose work has had an important influence on contemporary typography. He practiced professionally as a commercial artist in Detroit for 30 years before receiving an MFA in Design from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1987. He has since devoted his time to teaching at the California Institute of the Arts and his own unique self-published work which has appeared in many design publications and anthologies. In 1997 he received the Chrysler Award and in 1999 an Honorary Doctorate from CCS in Detroit. His work is in the National Design Museum and MoMA in New York.

He also has the most creative resumes I’ve ever seen…

Spike Jonze’s new half-hour short film titled I’m Here will premiere tonight at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Jonze has launched an official website for the movie, which includes a streamable trailer.

Funded by Absolut Vodka, I’m Here is a robot love story celebrating a life enriched by creativity. The movie is set in contemporary L.A., where life moves at a seemingly regular pace with the exception of a certain amount of robot residents who love among the population. A male robot librarian lives a solitary and methodical life — devoid of creativity, joy and passion – until he meets an adventurous and free spirited female robot.

“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery-celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from-it’s where you take them to.”

-Jim Jarmusch
