Not too sure about this video. I had an idea in my head but I now think the juxtaposition doesn’t match as well as I initially thought. Posting it anyway. If I had a day job, I wouldn’t give it up.
The video is a reworking of the famous Guardian ‘Points of View’ commercial.
NB If your viewing from my blog’s feed, the flash animation may not be visible so you may have to view it on my site – sorry- gremlins.
This is very much a draft and, considering the time taken, I’m a bit unsure whether to continue.
UPDATE – Yup, I’m bottling it, it’s not really worth continuing.
Checking with a couple of people, it’s obvious that some monitors display things the way I see them and others reveal differences in contrast which make the ‘face-swaps’ look too obvious.
The reason I thought I could do this in a reasonable amount of time was the darkness of the video which meant I could hide the shortcuts I was taking but it seems that I was wrong.
Due to the filesize, the sound quality is set to low and I’ve also reduced the number of posts on my front page for the moment.
with apologies to you-know-who. The name is omitted for the benefit of those searching the web for the genuine article but acknowledgment appears on the image.
For those arriving directly to this post (and not the blog front page), another image is here.
If you run a non-commercial site and place an active link to this blog (http://www.bbdo.co.uk/blog - not the individual post) ADJACENT TO THE IMAGE and credit 'Beau Bo D'Or', you are welcome to use the images I create - with the exception of those I do on a commercial basis for Channel 4 News or any 3rd party. Please no bulletin boards that require registration. Definitely no Daily Mail which seems keen to nick my images without credit or payment.
