I think the Star Wars Hologram communicator is close to becoming reality. If you want me information about this technology go to the researcher’s website.

A brilliant viral marketing campaign for War Child Canada, a charity which provides aid to war-affected children, raises awareness of the estimated 250,000 child-soldiers worldwide. Welcome to Camp Okutta, a friendly Canadian kids camp where counselors train kids how to throw grenades, shook AK-47s, and look-out for landmines.

Now when I tell people that they should use a social bookmarking site, like delicious (or delicious.com) I’m going to ask them to watch this video instead of spending 20 minutes trying to explain the benefits. Lee LeFever (from commoncraft.com/show) should be getting paid (by Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft) to illustrate these websites.

Play MTV Switch “Faces”

This is a classic example of ideas stepping on ideas. Which is to say these two ads almost come from the same cutting room. I appreciate that the takeout is different, one is about the hungry mouths of power outlets and the other is about the big mouth of the Audi A4. I also understand that the creative teams were oblivious to one another (MTV Switch 2007, Audi A4 2005). And the MTV ad is for an environment saving “charity” and Audi is an environment destroying car. Despite all these dissimilarities, they are ridiculously similar (and I’m sure similar to a hundred other references).

So, the important question is: Which soundtrack do you prefer?

ps. The Audi A4 ad is mine by the way.

Got 71 minutes? Neither do I right now, but for 1 week, you can watch the entire movie for free on YouTube. The creators of this movie are using the power of social media to promote their film, meet future colaborators, encourage reviews, and try to get out of debt. So far over 30,000 people have watched it in less than 24 hours, and they’ve raised over 3,500 bucks thanks to spout.com, a new movie review site that’s paying them a dollar for each new registrant. But more on this later, go watch it!
