January 25, 2012 7:11 am Yesterday in the late afternoon, I got an overnight loan of the yet to release Sony NEX-FS100 video camera.

Tengo / January 27, 2012 11:39 pm Peter Jackson is not just an excellent filmmaker. He is also really clever about marketing by creating a lot of hype with his behind the scenes production video blogs. I am highlighting this particular video blog because we get to see the amazing amount of logistics that go behind the movie. Can’t wait for the movie!

Tengo / January 27, 2012 12:18 am Documentary purists may not agree with the way Michael Moore manipulate his footages to put forward his liberal political views. However, hardly anyone disagrees that Michael Moore is gifted at telling non-fictional stories. After all, he won an Oscar with “Bowling for Columbine”. I attended a documentary masterclass by Alan Rosenthal some years ago. He is the author of the [...]
Tengo / January 26, 2012 11:58 pm YOU’LL NEVER LOOK AT DINNER THE SAME WAY AGAIN The quote on the documentary film’s poster can’t be more apt. It underlines how I feel after watching the documentary.

Episode 1 is embedded above. For thousands of years, the fabled Silk Road, as travelled by Marco Polo, was the link between the people of Europe and the vast riches of mysterious China. Spanning the deserts, [...]
Tengo / January 26, 2012 9:55 am This is one of the best examples of how a viral campaign should be like. It made clever use of flash and videos to provide a seamless experience and endless surprises. It’s another classic example that I have always been showing to my students. Try it!

Tengo / January 26, 2012 9:41 am Matt’s video is so popular (tens of millions of views on YouTube) that Visa engaged him to make their well-received commercials. His video also popularised the soundtrack used. 14 months in the making, 42 countries, and a cast of thousands. Thanks to everyone who danced with me.
