Thanks JP

In every Blog of yours i am finding new things to learn about.

I have seen the video you wrote about, but have never known it as a Rube Goldstien Machine, to that extent have read or seen a Heath Robinson Cartoon. So the Question, when did you first encounter this Term… just inquisitive ..

lastly i was not able to relate a RG machine to hollywood outsourcing to perpetual motion… i tried .. :-))

Happy vacations..

This is one of my all time favourite visual experiences. I immersed myself in the videos of some of the pre-production practices and could never get tired of watching this.
These days there are far too many abominable examples of independent creativity being ported into mainstream advertising. (Berocca stealing the “OK Go” Treadmill concept anyone

The Honda advert is true to the original form.

Well I’d add the stuff Russell Davies (who was, I believe the planner at W+K on the Honda Ad) and Matt Jones did with Howies http://russelldavies.typepad.com/planning/2007/10/topsecrethowies.html

certainly good chaps to talk to if you’re serious about building something (actually just jolly good chaps to talk to)
