Great Commercial & Great Golf, Sketchy Video

Every once in a while the commercial gods come up with a spot that makes you proud to be an Amercian. Look for a lot more of this during the Olympics. Anyway, I ran across this old favorite in my archives... it's called the "Quiet Commerical" created the much embattled beer maker, Anheuser-Busch. It's pure beauty.

If you watched the U.S. Open yesterday playoff this past Monday between Rocco Mediate and Tiger Woods, you were gifted with an amazing match. The big question is what did you actually see on the web? For most of my watching time the video and sound were dramatically out of sync by as much as 30 seconds or more! Clearly MSNBC could not handle the viewing burden, although the PGA site fared a lot better keeping the video and sound in sync in real time. It will be interesting to see the traffic numbers for the site... not everyone could take the day off yesterday.

For golf lovers make sure to check out some technique PGA video tips on the site.... good stuff. I hope to put them to work this weekend!

All Aboard

Watching the Sox go for game 7 against Cleveland. For a former Philly boy weaned on cheese steaks and bad Phillies baseball this is mighty exciting. Enuf to convince a nonbeliever that this game can be pretty cool.

This is the kickoff post for a blog covering creativity in the world of video production both online and in the media, and some areas of the written and spoken world as well. This is NOT a blog for or about creationists, although creationists are welcome as long as we stay on topic.

Spotted that absurd Wendy's spot on the air tonight with a guy in his orange wig standing up in a political debate to ask a question. It gets your attention and the wig helps you remember it. So many creative spots out there are entertaining, but five minutes later you cannot remember who paid for the advertisement.

I have been listening (audio book) to a vast collection of short stories written by David Sedaris. They are funny, thoughtful, outrageous and often poignant. The most amusing which I have heard so far delve into his butchery of the french language. Good stuff for the car.
