FITC Amsterdam 2008




A “Do It Yourself” festival for new media designers and developers who will learn the latest in interactive techniques and technologies and how to apply them to their own work. World-class speakers, Canadian debuts of new media art exhibits, a prestigious international awards show and late night mixers round out the festival, providing an energizing round-the-clock experience for the delegates.

Festival sessions explore three practical sides of the industry.
The three streams are:

1) Technical: an expose of the latest
technology available and how it’ll affect your world
2) Creative: an exploration of the creative
process with personal examples from top designers
3) Business: how to tackle the challenges
and maximize the benefits of running your business

Its worth the 9bucks!



Juno is an amazing film. It has a great story, unknown actors, commendable art direction, and very funny lines. The open credits involve a cross breed of illustration and film. It works well and is age appropriate for the audiences that are enjoying this flick.

Apple Commercial

During the holiday season means we get overwhelmed with commercials that bank on selling their product through emotional value. The Apple holiday commercial does it well. It plays off the claymation that we all remember Rudolph " The red nose raindeer" for and works it into its current advertising. Gosh darn TBWA, who holds the advertising account for Apple! take a peek


Apple Mac ads; Agency: TBWA\Media Arts Lab; Creatives: Chuck Monn, Jason Sperling, Alicia Dotter; Director: Drew Lightfoot; Production company: LAIKA/house

Internet goes sky high

An excerpt from Associated Press:

The JetBlue system is scheduled to make its debut Tuesday on Flight 641 from New York to San Francisco. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, is specially designated “BetaBlue” as it is used to test new entertainment services offered through JetBlue’s subsidiary, LiveTV.

JetBlue will be using a wireless spectrum that LiveTV bought from the Federal Communications Commission last year for $7 million. Because Internet access will use Wi-Fi and not cellular signals, the company said, it does not violate federal regulations.
