Forget the Film, Watch the Titles

A great title sequence sets an expectation, if you’re in the theatre and you see this sequence, you forget about everything else… and you don’t want to be anywhere else.  But right here at this moment, and it gets you excited – Kyle Cooper.

It’s Oscar time, and the opening sequence still hasn’t been able to nab a place on the podium. The right title sequence will almost  guarantee that bums stay on seats and invariably sets the tone for the whole film. But why the academy has not chosen to honour the ground-breaking designer’s who are forging ahead in motion graphic’s story telling is beyond me. The closest they could have come to contention is with the documentary ‘Forget the Film, Watch the Title’, but alas this too has yet to pass.

STR/CRD/11

STR/CRD 11 was held downtown in Johannesburg at the refurbished Arts on Main district.                                                                                                                                                     This fresh urban setting provided a canvass for the Sly team to go to town with one of their favourite brands.

Turning a dishevelled building from a wreck into a fitting display for the new PUMA  Undefeated Clyde collection.

With a legendary icon like Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier as inspiration for the Clyde sneaker range. We were not about to let anything stand in our way!

A lot of emphasis is placed on creativity,  especially when it comes to managing and initiating projects that will change the complexion of an industry. That creativity is prevalent among major telecommunications companies and their offices. Google is head and … Continue reading →

A chilly afternoon in June

The Sly teams obsession with ping pong, cameras and barely clothed ladies culminated in a frenetic exercise one chilly June afternoon. The plan was simple, the hard part was in the execution.

Stopping in the middle of busy intersections and shopping malls without permission caused a bit of a stir with mall security and driver’s, who were not initially impressed with a ping-pong table blocking their way. Until our two very lovely and brave assistants made their way to the table with nothing on but bikinis and ping-pong paddles.

Our models on the day were far more adept at handling the paddles than anyone had given them credit for. They even taught some of the men who watched the jaw-dropping exhibition a thing or two on wrist flexibility.

The day was another Success for the Sly team in guerrilla tactics, our favourite form of expression.

New iPhone On The Horizon

Social Media site Mashable has been following the rumors that Apple is releasing the iPhone 5 in September. The iPhone 5 is set to be a “radical departure from the iPhone 4” according to a Boy Genius Report.

According to a Bloomberg report the iPhone 5 will have “8-megapixel camera and include the A5 processor”.

As with most Apple products, the rumors will certainly not die down.

Almost Time To Throw Away Your Wallet

Mobile. I can’t wait for the day till everything you need is on one phone. Junk in my pockets. I’ve got too much of it. Wallet (packed with more plastic junk), phone, car keys and house keys. What if all these pieces of junk were all inside one device. It’s not that futuristic.

With NFC Technology it’s already active in the US. With Google Wallet you can now pay for your tansactions where you see on these…

For now the system supports the Citi® MasterCard® credit cards. But the mobile app is aimed at replacing your wallet with one single form of payment. Imagine “your loyalty cards, gift cards, receipts, boarding passes, tickets, even your keys seamlessly synced to your Google Wallet”.

I’m not too sure when the app will become available in SA, but there is other news on the wire.
