Just revisited Tim Burton's Beetlejuice—a quirky classic, but it always misses the mark for me. 🎬👻 Maybe it's the offbeat humor or the chaotic vibe, but I just can't connect with it. Check out my full review on YouTube and let me know if you agree! #beetlejuice #timburton #moviereview #michaelkeaton

Being straightforward is an asset for producers in 95% of jobs. In the celebrity industrial complex, it’s a bit different. For many entertainment producers, the entire pretense of the red carpet exercise is predicated around NOT being straightforward. The producer has to build up to asking the celebrity questions that the celeb does not necessarily want to answer. Thus, the celeb is on guard from the beginning of every interview. Well, how then, in what is set up to be a contentious dynamic, does a reporter ingratiate him/herself to the talent enough to get the soundbites he/she wants? The same way people should act with everyone they meet: -Be friendly. -Make jokes. -Create a familiarity context. -Use genuine praise and not false flattery. -Be authentically inquisitive. People love to be appreciated. Be generous with compliments, but make sure that the compliments are sincere. Always strive for authenticity in every facet of what you do. We explore all this and more in this newest Carpet Trash featuring an interview I did with Daniel Radcliffe where he correctly predicted the future of the Potterverse. I hope you enjoy.

WHAT CAN YOU ACHIEVE WITH £800??? Well, this video to keep things short and sweet. A lot of the time budgets get in the way of progression but we've always doubled down and tried to move our vision forward. This is a prime of vision over profits. Profit is nice, but progression can be nicer... (I do love me some profits though) #musicvideo #videoproduction #videoediting #productioncompany #productionhouse #videomarketing #videography

Nice. Advertising lingo explained. Lovely art. 'Widow'. 'A widow is when you have one word left hanging by itself at the end of a paragraph. Try to avoid widows! Sometimes, a widow may be called an orphan instead. Orphans usually refer to column set text where the last line of a paragraph is at the top of the next column, but people sometimes use these terms interchangeably.'

7 reasons why ‘Don’t Jump In’ by STAMMA is already the best campaign film of 2024! 🤯 When STAMMA and agency VMLY&R released their latest campaign film, well… let’s just say I had to take a Hot-5 to decompress. Here’s why I think this campaign film is a stroke of CREATIVE GENIUS, and how I think they have achieved it 💡 Why? 1️⃣ Satire is salient In a crowded market this dry, dark comedy cuts through the noise like a knife through warm butter. A spot-on tone for a world in permacrisis, the campaign cleverly leans into the pitch-blackness and embraces humour as a communal comfort blanket. 2️⃣ Absurdism The ‘Black Mirror-esque’ world of the film is ridiculous, silly and extreme (albeit with a relatable core situation). It embraces its weirdness and truly stands out against a storytelling landscape increasingly reliant on recycled nostalgia from the millennium (please no to a Shrek or Twilight reboot). How? 3️⃣ Information gap Decontextualised opening shots with ‘nonsense’ dialogue? You've got me hooked! We’re an insatiably curious species, and dropping the audience into a strange situation where they want to know what’s going on creates a tantalising yearning to find out what comes next. 4️⃣ Show not tell the 'ta-da' The humorous reveal comes visually rather than verbally. Before the character can get the word out, the wider context is revealed on-screen and the audience has a private ‘lightbulb’ moment. We chuckle to ourselves as the penny drops! 5️⃣ The curiosity train And the context that's revealed? Well it's comically bizarre! This opens up a new information gap ('wtf!') and the audience remain hooked - that curiosity train keeps on choo-choo-ing! 6️⃣ Relatability Hands up who’s ever been on the phone with an automated system? Pretty much everyone. And, sheer eye-rolling frustration #AmIRight? The film leans into a collective experience, saying “Imagine doing the thing we all know and hate - except with a stammer!” 7️⃣ Pace is power The film throws algorithms out the window. It leans into a necessary longer-form approach that does justice to pacing, and the silences and pauses that are key to this deliberately drawn-out story's modus operandi and success. Charity STAMMA and agency VMLY&R have really pulled it out the bag with this one. I haven’t been this excited and inspired by a campaign film in a long time, so hat’s off to all involved. The film went out on social media and will be shown on cinema screens in January 2024. What do *you* think of the film? 🤔 https://lnkd.in/eDQ9bMjB ---------- 👋 Hello I’m Mary, Founder of Faltrego 🎥 Faltrego is a creative agency for charities and purpose-led brands 👀 Click 'View my Portfolio' or visit our website >> www.faltrego.com 💬 Email mary@faltrego.com for a no obligation chat n' a cuppa
