The winner of this year's Palme d'Or at Cannes, ANORA is perfection. As good a movie as you can want in 2024, with a performance from Mikey Madison that's for the ages. One of the year's best. More thoughts below! #Anora

My visual storytelling experience includes VJing. Playing the visuals in clubs next to DJs. I did it from 2004 - 2009 in Beijing. I loved every minute. It taught me so much about pitching and presenting. I VJed this night and edited this clip to promote more parties in Beijing. Fond memories. Now I'm way too old for this ****. What experience from your younger years influence how you work today? #Visualstorytelling

The importance of sound design....

Precision and Spontaneity – The Signature Of A-List Stars! 😮😮😮 One of the qualities I've embraced in recent months is the practice of not just enjoying music, shows, or films, but also asking myself questions like: "What makes a show/film so captivating? Why do they succeed in this way? How do they express emotions? Or handle interviews so smoothly? What skills have they mastered for success? And so on". What surprised me is realizing that captivating shows and great films often come from directors, actors, and teams who embrace both precision and spontaneity. Particularly, the ability to distinguish A-list stars lies in their professionalism in managing spontaneity. In a short time, they can create a compelling song with smooth melodies. This combination of precision and spontaneity often arises from the smallest details, not necessarily grand gestures. "Intense focus + Precision + Passion + a touch of spontaneity" consistently produce impressive results. [Series: Everyday Insights] 💖 💖 💖 Trusted Agent: Infinity Financial Solutions Ltd.

EDITOR’s OPINION. The power of voice. At M.C. Talks, we believe that the voice is not merely an instrument of communication but a profound indicator of a person's inner life and intentions. As a hub for publishing, film production, author rights consulting, and personal branding, we recognize the pivotal role that voice plays in shaping narratives and influencing audiences. In the realm of cinema, especially those films adapted from books, the importance of voice cannot be overstated. Take, for instance, Morgan Freeman's iconic narration in "The Shawshank redemption," adapted from Stephen King's novella. Freeman’s calm, authoritative tone not only drives the narrative but also deepens the emotional connection with the audience. His voice becomes a character itself, embodying hope and resilience. Or consider Anthony Hopkins in "The silence of the lambs," based on the novel by Thomas Harris. Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecter is chillingly enhanced by his meticulous control of voice, shifting effortlessly from soothing tones to menacing whispers. This control exemplifies how a voice can convey complex layers of charm and danger. Recognizing the transformative power of voice, many seek the expertise of renowned voice coaches to enhance their public speaking and performance skills. Coaches like Patsy Rodenburg, who has worked with esteemed actors at the Royal Shakespeare Company, emphasize the importance of presence and breath. Rodenburg’s philosophy, "The second circle," teaches speakers to engage in a manner that is neither too forceful nor too withdrawn, but perfectly projected to command attention. Another prominent figure in the field is Arthur Joseph, whose Vocal Awareness Method has been instrumental for celebrities, CEOs, and broadcasters. Joseph’s method focuses on the conscious integration of voice with physical and emotional expression to achieve authenticity and impact. In preparing individuals for public speaking, we at M.C. Talks harness these teachings, understanding that voice reflects more than just words. It reveals a speaker's thoughts, health, occupation, and even financial status. As our founder often explains, "Voice is the music of our personal history playing out in real time." The interplay of voice in literature, film, and personal development underscores its significance as a tool for influence and connection. At M.C. Talks, whether through our films, books, or consultancy, we strive to empower voices to resonate with clarity and purpose. Join us on our Telegram and YouTube channels as we explore the profound connections between voice, storytelling, and personal growth. In this journey, we continue to discover how the nuanced art of voice not only shapes our narratives but also defines our identities in the ever-evolving tapestry of human expression.

Wow, Wow, Wow! As a story strategist, I'm always looking for new fodder to feed the storytelling beast, and last night's Carmen at Glyndebourne was a banquet of fresh ideas, stunning craftsmanship and re-imagined interpretations. No wonder it provoked the longest round of applause I've heard ina long time, from (noted with great delight) the most diverse audience I've been in at Glyndebourne for a long time. My take-aways? This is a company steeped in tradition doing everything right to attract a new audience whilst continuing to inspiure and delight their existing loyal tribe. I was there with a couple of seasoned octogenarians, a middle aged opera buff and a first-timer, and everyone took away their own moments of resonance. I'm not going to hit top C any time soon, but in my corporate work, I'm always searching for those moments that strike a chord on an individual level, whatever the audience. Generate enough of them, and you've got what we all enjoyed last night - a performance that felt like an experience, that left the audience transformed and that everyone there will want to talk about, share and remember. Unforgettable storytelling, transforming Bizet's classic into a story fit for todays complicated, uncertain world. Bravo and Brava. #Storytelling #Knowyouraudience #Storiesthatsing https://lnkd.in/e2mtXecT

Teaser Out Now

#ADREVIEW Been a while since I saw an ad that brought a tear to my eye, especially a Malaysian one. This one did quite a bit more than that. Allow me to walk you through the emotions through out 120-seconds; The beginning looked like any typical Chinese New Year Ad - Preparations for the family dinner. Close up on the food - family enjoying time together - you had the mom giving blessings to God - But then out of nowhere, the Azan came on and everyone sort of stopped in their tracks. From the start we could gather that the Azan came from a surau or mosque nearby the house, assuming they lived in an apartment, it probably came from the apartment's surau given how loud and clear it was. And then from there it was all a game of skeptical assumptions. You had them turning the tv volume down - okay is this because they're just being respectful? Like its somewhat a common understanding that you take a pause or slow things down to give way for the Azan as a respectful gesture. Kalau tengah class dulu pun, we would take a quick 5 minute break during the azan and resume after. Then things took a turn, they pulled out their phones and started recording the Azan - then I was like alamak, are they recording because the Azan is too loud and they're just gathering evidence to file a complain or something. This too is something that has happened before in Malaysia. But the thing is, they don't seem to look angry or showed any signs that they were upset. So I macam wait a minute, what is going on... My idea of a good ad, is that it needs to be able to do 2 things: 1) Make you feel 2) Make you think Okay coming back to the last part of the ad, I was totally caught by surprise at the unveiling turn of events. Not gonna spoil it for you, watch it for yourself - https://lnkd.in/ge24JXjw The messaging was just beautiful. The whole ad was just so wholesome and fresh. An azan in a Chinese New Year AD? You win when you dare to be different. With such a diverse target audience in Malaysia, culture and religion is a very fine line to thread on, but this is how and why art is so powerful. Looking forward to more work by you Hyrul Anuar. I just also wanted to say thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us. This is art in its purest form. Happy Chinese New Year everyone! May we embrace change and continue to love stronger!

In a world of overstimulation, sometimes the boldest thing to say is nothing!!! When I looked at this ad for the first time, it got me thinking -what is this ad really trying to do. It didn’t immediately make sense to my marketer brain, obviously! In a world of over information where everyone has so much more to tell, this ad says nothing, literally! But when you come to think of it, the best solutions to the world’s biggest problems are actually quite simple… And with Ashish Khazanchi’s ‘enormous’ twist it becomes entertaining. Like this ad making a very simple point - get addicted. Full disclosure, I know Ashish and his team at Enormous. We worked briefly when he pitched his work for one of the brands I was working with. We did not take up his idea, but I saw his point of view. Ashish is a story teller with a very clear signature in his work. With so much complicated messaging all around us, he prefers to pick up the most compelling one and build it into an enormous cinemascope. It’s important to buy into this narrative to make it work, because there is a method to this madness. A lot of effort and thinking goes into building this narrative that make it into a piece of work you will keep going back to. As marketers, we should focus our energies in building the surround sound... Let Ashish work on the cinema! ashish khazanchi Soumitra Patnekar Joel Thottan Enormous #advertising #brandstrategy #storytelling #ads #film #brandfilm
