Disney shortcuts

Spotted this page today about how Disney shamelessly copies from each cartoon.

I feel a little cheated.

Silencing the little person

Recently the phenomenon of twitter seems to have taken over our office and it's been a pretty cool tool for just finding out about news and technology or just keeping in touch with mates, until today that is.

Today was a dark day for freedom of speech on the internet, I suppose it takes us back to the case of Ellen Simonetti, where apparently personal rights dont account for anything when you're in full time employment.

Anyway back to today, basically slightly negative things were said about a vendor which could've been taken as positive criticism to better a system, but instead the vendor decided to silence this individual.

This is like digital head in the sand don't you think? Rather than finding out what the problem is the guy decided to make a complaint to get the "said posts" removed. I only have one thing to say to big brother bullying of this kind.

Grow up and get the job done

If you can't, then I'm sure there are a million other companies willing to step up and take you place, if you spent less time silencing and more time listening then you might actually progress.

The first "Grinds my gears!" 2009

This week has been a tough week (and it's only Wednesday) with creative deployment right on the drop date of ad circulation there was very little room for error.

Well anything that could've gone wrong did go wrong, client with last minute copy amends, branding with last minute tweaks, basically anything that could go wrong actually went wrong.

Anyway that aside we finally got the creative signed off and all we needed to do was convert the creative to a format that could be served in airports and tube screens.

We ended up outsourcing the conversion to an external company (not sure if I should mention them but if you ask I wont lie). The results were awful, and I mean awful. We ended up going back and forth around 4-5 times before they replied with "that's as good as it's going to get"

This pissed me off on another level, what the fuck !!!

"that's as good as it's going to get", who the hell says that?

I ended up learning how to use quicktime pro in 6 hours and finally ended up with the quality that we expected. But what I will say is that in this economic time it's probably wise not to be lazy and fob off you clients.

Keira Knightley Stop Domestic Violence

Both actress and Director donated their time for this worthwhile cause, great job too :)
