Flame have just launched a new video viral campaign to promote our client Holiday Extras‘ airport parking service.

Check it out, it’s in the big purple box:

Ben, our copywriting guru (I’m beginning to dislike that phrase), created a top script that caught their attention and made it through to the final cut with hardly any edits. Justin McArdle was brought in to steer the reigns and working with Flame Digital and actor Paul Kaye; produced the 90 second viral.

Let me know what you think. You can either comment here or find out more on the Flame blog article.

Loosing touch

I sometimes must remind myself that redswish is my personal blog as well as a web design resource. Maybe that’s not the best idea, to combine both. But I wouldn’t post often enough on my personal life to maintain a solely self-centred blog alongside a contributing online design resource. Alas, this is the beauty of the internet in that I can balance both.

I feel like I’ve been lacking the personal touch recently in an order to obtain more traffic, striving to provide solely web-related information and tools in an attempt to coerce new visitors to the site, and indeed to keep current ones interested. But why? I earn no money from this blog, I have no intention to (yet!). I write because I enjoy it, I love getting comments back from readers, regardless of whether they’re positive or negative, and I love it when something I’ve wrote has directly affected someone else. That’s the buzz I get from blogging. So, kind readers, please indulge me while I sum up my summer with little regard for whether you care or not.

Well, actually my only gig of the year so far! I just don’t think the first half of 2008 has been particularly productive for film or music. The only new album releases that I can recall (off the top of my head) that have inspired me at all so far are the new Sigur Ros album, Rihanna… you know what? I’m sat here struggling, so I’m going to forget listing and jump straight the new Death Cab For Cutie release – Narrow Stairs. I’ve been a fan of DC’s work for a few years now, but never really got into them. I’d struggle to name more than 5 songs, never mind sing them. However with the release of the new album, which I must say is fantastic, I’ve been gradually falling in love. Thus, my mate Tom and I took our precious Wednesday nights out to pop down to the Apollo and thoroughly enjoy the Manchester show of their Narrow…

October 17th. Max Payne – the film. 2008 has been a poor year for movies so far. No, don’t argue; it’s a fact. I’ve not been to the cinema once, not even on a date, not even to view the listings. The only good films to appear on DVD were No Country for Old Men and Rambo, neither terrible nor fantastic in my opinion – however brutal! The only thing that’s come close was 21, and that was hardly Spacey’s finest role. But things are looking up. The big summer blockbusters are showing at the moment, including Hancock, Wanted, Wall-e (the latest offering from CG masters Pixar), The Dark Knight which promises to be awesome and The Forbidden Kingdom with my 2 favourite generic martial artists – Jet Li and Jackie Chan. As my memory serves, this is a far better serving than last summer. I think it’s time for a trip out to the movies! But even more exciting…
