Seen anything interesting?


I'm giving a talk about advertising and digital media at Melbourne University at the end of the month.

My presentation is about two thirds done and I'm currently looking for some interesting web video type stuff to include.

In true Age of Conversation meets Web-2.0 style I thought it might be worthwhile asking if you've seen anything recently that would be worth sharing with the students.

If you have, please leave a comment and let me know.

All help will be much appreciated.

This presentation by the author of "The Brand Gap" is one of my all-time favorites:

It isn't particularly flashy (it's all black-and-white, for instance), but it does an excellent job at "telling a story."

I've written about a few of my recent favourites.

http://blogs.hillandknowlton.com/blogs/ryanpeal/archive/2008/04/04/i-love-smart-people-and-smart-simple-campaigns.aspx and
http://blogs.hillandknowlton.com/blogs/ryanpeal/archive/2008/02/15/live-your-life-backwards-new-video-definitely-sparks-creativity.aspx

the first one is a very simple video that you will definitely watch twice

the second one will have you scratching your head on how it works

hope this helps your preso

I think that the recent Swedish Armed Forces Recruitment Campaign is a really interesting use of the internet and interactivity in a campaign.

Is the presentation for Melbourne Uni students only?

I'm not sure to be honest Zac, but I suspect it's for Melb kids only.

I nearly always include something from CommonCraft (eg social networking or twitter) and something by Michael Wesch. I particularly like the piece that he and his students did on the future of learning. Awesome.
