a corporate-corporate video

by its unofficial definition, refers to the textbook approach towards the inception of a corporate video, mostly involving polished animation techniques and a baritone voiceover to package an otherwise unimpressive (and i do stretch the term here) video content, like the shiny, crinkling silver wrapping covering your five-cent candy. all fireworks but no creative substance; because really, if you strip everything down to its bare bones, it's really just a PowerPoint presentation of words and figures, slapped with the cosmetics of moving pictures, pretty animation, and a soothing soundtrack. there is nothing exciting, or forward-looking, or dynamic, or conceptual about it.

so with all this said, i hereby demand to know what in Neptune's sea is a corporate-corporate video concept.

this is a rant. thank you very much and have a nice day.

the Hollywood of video games





spanning two decades of evolution and all twelve titles. it's hard to imagine this all stems from one man's last-ditch attempt to produce a simple computer game.

why does this hint of inception

it looks to be a common practice to have the first official trailer do the adrenaline-pumping, and have the second one explain the sensory bombardment you've just experienced. this said, it still looks damn good.

a girl and the garden

went for a fashion shoot today involving a Finnish model and a Russian photographer, which, even in cosmopolitan Singapore, remains to be an elusive phenomenon. to be fair, the event turned out to be very much more exciting than what i have described, but i can barely keep my eyes open so here's a story for another day.
