I saw Objectified and want to see Art&Copy.
Objectified is a design geek’s design movie. There wasn’t really a thesis to bring the movie together, but it might have been that the lack of a thesis was the take away: design is many things to many people and because of its highly subjective unquantifiable nature, who’s to say who’s right.
Art&Copy is a film I haven’t seen. But it pulls at a side of me that is buried away just waiting to get free–something along the lines of profitable creativity. Advertising is, on the surface, fascinating.
Hm, Art&Copy looks great. My original intention was to go into advertising… but marketing has a bigger draw for me… because it’s so systematic and because advertising is only a slice of the pie that marketing has a grasp over.
I think you’d be better suited for being a marketer over an advertiser. The marketers are the sly cunning ones pulling the strings!
I have not seen Objectified based on what you told me. As for Art&Copy, which has been recently mentioned here a few weeks ago by our directors, I feel less inclined to go pay admission for (rent worthy instead). I suppose when you work in the field it’s… expected to feel indifferent about movies about your career – unless it’s really worth seeing and enlightening.
Oh, here’s another movie you may be interested it’s called Lemonade.
http://www.lemonademovie.com/
A documentary of true-life vignettes of creatives (in the advertising world) who lost their jobs and… how their lives changed (which could really apply to anyone, but the carefully selected stories here make for the entertainment). Oh, and it’s filmed in HD, as they like to note as if it’s a selling point… And, it’s filmed by one of the ad creatives turned-filmmaker
“We the Public” is also showing at IFC, as I noticed last week. I remember how you had mentioned it to me some months back… need to rent that in the near future.
@joanna: You might be right. And…advertising is nowhere near as sexy as Art&Copy portrays it to be. Plus, we’re past the breakthrough golden age. It’s going to be all internet based advertising…what’s the best way to monetize video, what’s the best way to integrate advertising, products and content…
@d.: Thanks for the recommendations! It’s easy to watch pop documentaries like Art & Copy b/c it rolls up the entire industry’s achievements in the past 50 years into 120 minutes. “We Live in Public” was awesome. Even for someone who’s in the (internet) industry, it made me consider deleting my twitter accounts.
I seldom leave comments, however i did a few searching and wound up here Objectified and Art&Copy Greg Takayama. And I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Is it just me or does it look like some of the remarks come across like they are coming from brain dead visitors?
And, if you are writing at additional social sites, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of all your communal pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Wassup, whenever I look to this specific web site I almost constantly get this error message 500 Internal Server Error; Just thought you would really like to know.
I precisely needed to say thanks again. I’m not certain what I would’ve followed without the entire advice shared by you directly on such topic. Completely was a real scary matter in my position, but encountering the very well-written manner you solved that forced me to cry with delight. I am thankful for this information and even wish you know what a powerful job you are always carrying out instructing most people via your site. I am sure you haven’t met all of us.
