Ce qu’on devra retenir des Têtes à Claque

En plus de nous faire rire pour pas cher, l’histoire derrière les Têtes à Claques devrait nous servir de leçon, et inspirer les créateurs et décideurs d’ici.

Saviez vous que le créateur des Têtes à Claques a envoyé des copies DVD de 7 épisodes des TAC chez des diffuseurs et producteurs d’ici, sans qu’aucun de ces derniers ne donne suite au projet?

Il confirme aussi dans un article que les guerres d’ego prônent dans nos agences de pub, au détriment du plaisir à se laisser aller dans des élans de folies créative de groupe qui mèneraient sûrement à des créations originales et distinctes…

Et finalement, ce qui rend Michel Beaudet le plus fier dans tout ça :

“Je n’ai pas demandé de subvention, je n’ai pas fait de focus group. J’ai écouté mon instinct et j’ai changé le modèle.”

Créateurs, à vos pinceaux. N’attendez pas qu’on vous approuve, qu’on vous donne un diplôme, qu’on vous signe un chèque de 6 zéros. Démarrez vos projets – petits ou grands moyens en mains, dans ce domaine la passion est reine.

You dont need this

Consuming consuming consuming.

Sunday afternoon, seeing the shopping centers full of parked cars. Full of people with a dull life, having nothing else to do then consume.

Cars, gadget, kids toys, implants, diets, clothes, food, another TV, radio, video, jewels, makeup, dishes, electronics – spending money to fill the gap.

How often i told myself ‘they dont need this’ but they dont know it… Maybe we should help them remember…

Actualités

Serez-vous vraiment capable d’attendre jusqu’à lundi pour entendre les commentaires de Myriam Bédard?

Actualités

Myriam Bédard – avec toute cette couverture médiatique qui traite une manchette sans importance telle une catastrophe nucléaire, on devrait peut-être se demander si quelqu’un essaie d’attirer notre attention pendant qu’on est en train de nous en passer une belle par derrière.

Où est Myriam, une quotidienne que vous pourrez suivre pendant les 5 prochaines années sur vos médias préférés.

J’aimerais bien

que Christiane revienne à la télé, et Marie-France à la radio,

qu’il neige en novembre,

que Paris soit des vacances.

Casecamp

This picture was taken last week after we’ve been attending the first Casecamp event in Montreal. A bunch of marketing people around me, i could have felt at the wrong place – but no, listening to case studies from people working in a different field then mine was quite inspiring and it got us to think a little more ‘out of a box we so well know‘ since most of the information exchanged there was about a field we do not directly work in.

Best of all was Andy Nulman’s presentation. A little research on wikipedia and google once back home and we learned about Airbone entertainment and Andy’s intense background (from where we also understood why his presentation was also oh-so intense!).

Wardrobe remix, fashion by the people for the people

Yesterday Chris, after spending fun time vacuum cleaning, discovered the wardrobe remix pool on flickr. I, like him, found some really interesting and nice looking pictures, but i think there’s more to it.

The essence behind it is maybe what will be changing the world of women fashion magazines where the clothes, and models, are often too far from reality.

What if wardrobe remix people would add infos about the clothes’s prices and the shop where they bought them? These girls are posting pictures of themselves wearing clothes that fit to their style and size, clothes in which they feel comfortable. They are humans publishing about fashion products, watched by millions of consumers around the world.

As a girl i know, and many of you i’m sure, that women’s fashion magazines are far from reality, selling images of skinny unhealthy bodies wearing highly priced clothes. Something about fantasy, nothing about reality.

Christiane remplacera Marie-France

Christiane Charette remplacera Marie-France Bazzo dès l’automne prochain, annonce faite par Radio-Canada ce matin. Je reste triste du départ de M-F Bazzo, mais oh que j’avais hâte de revoir, ou entendre à nouveau, Christiane qui nous surprendra peut-être en nous offrant un format d’émission différent après tout ce temps passé à explorer…

Everyone is a journalist

“Journalism is a recent trend in history. Before there were newspaper, everyone was a reporter. People passed the news to each other. the arrival of the newspaper brought about a sudden division between journalist and reader. You could only read about what the journalist considered newsworthy. That led to a narrowing of vision. The internet has put this one-way traffic right again; never before has it been so easy to send a message into the world, and millions of people have their own weblogs. Now everyone is a journalist.”

Oh Yeon-ho, founder of Ohmynews.com, Ode magazine June 2006.

Refus

Marie-France Bazzo quite Indicatif Présent? Non mais, éclairez moi quelqun, dite moi que c’est faux et que Daviel disjoncte.
