Beautiful ad campaigns have always catch my attention. With almost everything first impression is what draw people in, so same goes with ads. It should seduce our eyes at the first look. Here’s an ad campaign by Animax that made my head turned to have a closer look due to its attractive visual art…mostly because of the color red and the Japanese background.
What is Animax? It’s a Japanese anime satellite television network, dedicated to broadcasting anime programming. Established on May 20, 1998 by Sony, Animax Broadcast Japan Inc. has been acknowledged as the largest 24-hour anime-only network in the world. Its viewer reach has been quoted as ’spanning over 41 million homes across 47 countries and 17 languages’.
The ad campaign below is to announce the release of the two greatest Japanese anime cartoons, Bleach and Evangelion, on the Animax Channel. I’m not a big fan of Japanese anime cartoons but I do however know what is Dragon Balls and Sailor Moon.. Ok I’m out.
As brave as kamikaze pilots, but with a much greater lust for life.

I came across a video that truly amaze me by its creativity, both in quality and in execution. It’s a touching love story created by animation director, Carlos Lascano. This is not only a video about a love story but also about the director himself.
Carlos is indeed a successful multi-faceted artist with talents in painting, illustration and comics. Born in 1973, I can say he was born with a paint brush in his hand. His path in life really inspired me and the way he found his vocation in this world. He has then completed Law School in 1997, but decided not to practice and to dedicate his career entirely to his art creation. He finally decided that film making was his medium of choice because it represent the coming together of the different forms of expression of his artistic universe. In the same year he founded his own production company Pandemonium, a visual group which produced publicity for television.
That’s what I call literary ambition! His incursions into the art world speaks for itself. He has filmed video clips, commercial ads, animations, documentaries and featured films. His latest work as the animation director for the short film, The Legend of the Scarecrow, won more than 20 awards worldwide and was preselected for the Oscars in 2005.
You can visit his website at carloslascano.com. I suggest you to watch the animation videos under gallery. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
A SHORT LOVE STORY IN STOP MOTION

As promised here are the doodles of the Google Olympic Logo from August 15 to 19. You have probably noticed by now that the theme Dennis Hwang has chosen was the Chinese Zodiac animals; buffalo, dog, dragon, horse, monkey, pig, rabbit, mice, rooster, sheep, snake, and tiger.
Let’s have some fun with the Chinese Zodiac animal signs. Below is a brief description about each animal sign. Which animal sign are you?
Mice: Born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
You are imaginative, charming, and truly generous to the person you love. However, you have a tendency to be quick-tempered and overly critical. You are also inclined to be somewhat of an opportunist. Born under this sign, you should be happy in sales or as a writer, critic, or publicist.
Buffalo: Born in 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
A born leader, you inspire confidence from all around you. You are conservative methodical, and good with your hands. Guard against being chauvinistic and always demanding your own way. The Buffalo would be successful as a skilled surgeon, general or hairdresser.
Tiger: Born in 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
You are sensitive, emotional, and capable of great love. However, you have a tendency to get carried away and be stubborn about what you think is right; often seen as a “Hothead” or rebel. Your sign shows you would be excellent as a boss, explorer, race car driver, or matador.
Rabbit: Born in 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
You are the kind of person, that people like to be around affectionate, obliging, always pleasant. You have a tendency, though, to get too sentimental and seem superficial. Being cautious and conservative, you are successful in business but would also make a good lawyer, diplomat, or actor.
Dragon: Born in 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
Full of vitality and enthusiasm, the Dragon is a popular individual even with the reputation of being foolhardy and a “big mouth” at times. You are intelligent, gifted, and a perfectionist but these qualities make you unduly demanding on others. You would be well-suited to be an artist, priest, or politician.
Snake: Born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
Rich in wisdom and charm, you are romantic and deep thinking and your intuition guides you strongly. Avoid procrastination and your stingy attitude towards money. Keep your sense of humor about life. The Snake would be most content as a teacher, philosopher, writer, psychiatrist, and fortune teller.
Horse: Born in 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954,1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
Your capacity for hard work is amazing. Your are your own person-very independent. While intelligent and friendly, you have a strong streak of selfishness and sharp cunning and should guard against being egotistical. Your sign suggests success as an adventurer, scientist, poet or politician.
Goat: Born in 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
Except for the knack of always getting off on the wrong foot with people, the Goat can be charming company. Your are elegant and artistic but the first to complain about things. Put aside your pessimism and worry and try to be less dependent on material comforts. You would be best as an actor, gardener, or beachcomber.
Monkey: Born in 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
You are a very intelligent and a very clever wit. Because of your extraordinary nature and magnetic personality, you are always well-liked. The Monkey, however, must guard against being an opportunist and distrustful of other people. Your sign promises success in any field you try.
Rooster: Born in 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
The Rooster is a hard worker; shrewd and definite in decision making often speaking his mind. Because of this, you tend to seem boastful to others. You are a dreamer, flashy dresser and extravagant to an extreme. Born under this sign you should be happy as a restaurant owner, publicist, soldier or world traveler.
Dog: Born in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
The Dog will never let you down. Born under this sign you are honest, and faithful to those you love. You are plagued by constant worry, a sharp tongue, and a tendency to be a fault finder, however. You would make an excellent businessman, activist, teacher, or secret agent.
Pig: Born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
You are a splendid companion, an intellectual with a very strong need to set difficult goals and carry them out. You are sincere, tolerant, and honest but by expecting the same from others, you are incredibly naive. Your quest for material goods could be your downfall. The Pig would be best in the arts as an entertainer, or possible a lawyer.
So…can you relate to your Zodiac animal sign? Also stay tuned for the next set of Olympic Google Logo doodles to be released next week.
