Dynamic Typography
Ya no sé qué hacer conmigo
is one of the most excellent music videos ever. It's a song by a Uruguayan group called Cuarteto de Nos whose title translates to "I don't know what to do with myself anymore." The video uses kinetic/motion/dynamic typography (whichever you want to call it) and was created using Life Type or (more likely) After Effects.Once you see somethign like this, you'll get that YouTube high and want to check out all the other offerings like it. I suggest:
1. The Child
2. The Hush Sound - The Lion's Roar
3. What does Marsellus Wallace look like? (Pulp Fiction)

we're not just pawns.
This is posted on my blog, but i had to post it here, because it's so beautiful. Guys, as i go through this whirlwind of a semester, it helps me to watch things like this. I hope by watching it, it'll help slow things down a bit.

my delicious page
Hey ADs,
I am linking my delicous page. I have all of Cabel's recommended sites, a few that you all have shared with me and a few I stumbled upon on my own.
Most, but not all, are industry related.
Hope it helps!

I'd love to see what websites you all have stashed away for ad-making or ad-making distractions.
Cheers,

Stealth Advertising, 1950s style.
So you think product placement is newfangled, eh?
Check it.
It's the year 1956. How did the ad fellas decide to promote snazzy color telephones to match the decor of your home?
With a musical, of course.

meta keywords
Hey all, this is an example of the code that you need to know to make your website and/or blogs searchable. Meta keyword description should just be a sentence explaining what your website is. Keywords should be any form of what could be related. You should also include any misspellings or variations of the words that are applicable to the site content.
