Using a host of innovative filming techniques, The Cove is a documentary feature that tells the story of ecological genocide in Japan. As the promo copy promises, it looks like the combination of Flipper and The Bourne Identity. It’s one we’ll be looking out for.

Just show us to the Mickey Dee's

Nominated for a Best Animated Short Oscar is a film called Logorama.

It’s features LOTS of logos – which is sure to make marketing folk very excited. It just makes us hungry

Yup – the music biz is at it again. Singing their hearts out, but this time for Haiti.

Part 3/3

It needs buckets of fine tuning and financing to be viable, but the embers of the show are there. Unconventional South African pop-culture marketing icons deserve a platform to share their story – and it’s our mission to make that possible.

Fokofpolisiekar interview

Last night the Cherryflava Peep Show had its debut at the New Space theatre in Cape Town.

A huge word of thanks has to go to Fokofpolisiekar, Justin Bonello, Dave Levinsohn, Zoopy.com, “Nick and Dave”, Sean O from Good Hope FM, Softlight City [for the flashy theme tune], New Space Theatre & the GRAND DADDY Hotel, Tradewinds, and our crew for making things possible.

If you weren’t at last night’s show, you’ll be able to watch the whole thing on Zoopy as of tomorrow.

In the meantime, here are some of the backstage pics.

OMEGA 3

Although the SABC can barely afford to broadcast them, there are some really great ads made by South African ad agencies.

We’ve compiled this list of those that we think deserve to be showcased as the best South African Ads of 2009 to date.

With such good work as inspiration, hopefully we can see an improvement in some of the other attempts at product flogging:

#9 Lunchbar – Dancing in the Subway

#8 Hansa Pilsener – “Vuyo’s Wors”

#7 Orbit – ‘Squid’
