Great Movie Promotion: The Reader - Kate Winslett, Ralph Fiennes

Now this web site for the movie The Reader starring Kate Winslett and Ralph Fiennes is a winning way to use the web to promote a movie.  Dynamic overlay using text and video.  Some very cool stuff going on here. Look it over. You gotta like what you see here. The movie itself is Holocaust related which can mean a hard sell in marketing a movie, but it's being marketed as a steamy sexual flick, not a historic tale. 

Great music track certainly helps.  The tabs allow you to see clips of the movie, interviews with the talent, more about the production crew.  It's produced by Anthony Minghella who directed The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain and Truly, Madly Deeply.  The film is based on Bernard Schlink's novel, The Reader.  I am ready to go see this film today.

News Programs on the Web

Creating a company news program does not need to be a big complicated affair.  As your business/organization generates information that's worth sharing either internally or externally, capture it and share it.  Here's an example of how the magazine Advertising Age pushed out information from a conference it held.

Naturally there's more to creating these kinds of segments than just taping an event, but it also doesn't need to break your bank.  Glad to kick ideas around with you, just give us a call.  We are newsmen with a knack for creative story telling.

Yes We Can: Top Video of 2008

You may not be pro-Obama, but this video has a lot of cool stuff going for it.  A celeb cast, it's a political music video (is that new genre?), it's got great editing, some cool music, and it's fun to watch.   It's also been viewed 15m times on YouTube as of today.

Inspirational Video for New Year & Great Music

Here's a cool new video that's making the rounds.  It's a great way to start off the New Year because it's inspriing and it's a great classic song done with a cool twist.  It feels like the 'dancing accross the world guy's' video in some ways, but it's definitely worth a listen.  Why does it work?  Great music, good 'casting' and it makes you feel good.  Hope you like as much as I do.
