The Backroom - Lest We Forget

A Lovely Pear Experiment

2008-01-28T11:00:00.000Z

Jas: "these pairs are going to take ages to ripen"
Pikey: "put a banana with them, they'll ripen faster"
Gav: "Shut it Pikey"
Pikey: "No really, it works"
Jas: "Shut it Pikey"
Pikey: "honest it does"
Gav: "shut it Pik... oh ok then, lets use science"

For 3 days we've had the following set-up in a controlled environment (the backroom):

subject 1: Beret with one banana and one pear
subject 2: Beret with three pears
subject 3 (control): Beret with one pear
subject 4 (Placebo): Beret with one pear and one fake foam banana

The results so far are inconclusive, however the pear in subject 1 is slightly softer that the other subjects. This may be due to the presence of the Banana, or possible do to the constant squeezing it has endured during our rigorous testing procedure.

In other news: Noela says Kiwi fruit ripen apples, Hallybones backs up her theory but this is all just hear-say until the relevant experiment(s) has been carried out.

Hello again, long time no see? Yeah we've been busy, but we've still been seeing nice things. You may notice we could do with a few more contributors so y'know, send us stuff you think we'd like, or just leave us a comment below. So anyway, on with the show - here's some of the nice things we've seen recently, hope you like them too:

Jed's Other Poem

Fan made music video for Grandaddy. A very smart use of old technology to capture the track perfectly.

Launch Ball

A series of sweet little games on the Science Museum's site by Preloaded. Just position a few tools to help get a ball from one place on the screen to another, very easy to use, really rewarding sound design, and you can even design and share your own levels.

We've finally made it

2007-05-08T11:47:00.000+01:00

The other day we shot some porn for the government. You couldn't really class it as 'just another day at the office'.

The whole thing was shot and put together by Believe Media who went the extra mile with authenticity. They built a 40's Private Detective's office's, as seen from the eyes of a 70s porno, in an abandoned office block in Hayes. Complete with actual fur lassie portrait. The actors (James and Carly) were perfect as well, I don't think any of us will eat a hot dog in the same way again.

The Castle joins Pikey's list

2007-04-20T14:34:00.000+01:00

Pikey was less than impressed with The Castle's only vegetarian option at lunch today. Their only vegy meal on the menu was off, but when asked if they could rustle an omelet for him it seemed the humble omelet was beneath them and promised they would knock up a vegetarian creation just for him. Unfortunately this creation turned out to be not dis-similar from a cereal bowl of steamed vegetables.

This heinous act landed the Castle at the number one spot on Pikey's ever growing black list. The list now looks something like:

The Castle
The Windsor Castle
The Churchill (tentative)
Nandos

(ok, the list is short right now, but all the rest of you Notting Hill eateries: watch out)

closing thoughts on FOWD

2007-04-19T09:45:00.000+01:00

Felt more like a collection of old show reels than a conference. Not a complete waste though. It spurned drunken chat in the Old Man's about better integration with the developers and creatives. Certainly made us all fall a little more in-love with our inner geek. We also learnt Microsoft think developers and creatives should never talk to each other. We didn't like Microsoft. Nice retro dunnies though.

There, my first LU post. Enjoy.

Sing Star pitch kicks off

2007-03-16T16:22:00.000Z

So today we went for a meeting at Sony to talk about a SingStar pitch we're working on. It was pretty cool y'know, the usual, coffee on the way in, short wait in reception, PS3s on every desk as we walk through the office, y'know, nothing unusual there, everyone has a PS3 on their desk right? That’s normal right?

So, meeting over, and we're at the depths of a PS3 lust binge, what’s a guy to do? Wait 8 more days to play the thing? No, no that wouldn't do at all, our only help laid in the glitzy glamour of Oxford Street, first we hit Game, surely, the answer's in the name, Game would help? Did they have a PS3 demo booth? Did they shit. So we trudged on past about a hundred mobile phone shops and about two hundred coffee shops and about three hundred thousand tourists until we arrived at our savour... Virgin Mega Store. Thank you Virgin, you really are mega. We hit the games section and there she was, a gleaming new demo booth, complete with some Sony dude telling us stuff we already know, so we told him stuff he didn't know.

Now here comes the bad news, after we had our fix we got down to work on the SingStar booth, we took pics and shot video, look at the pics if you like over here on our Flickr page, but honestly DO NOT look at the video over here on our YouTube channel, it's not pretty. We're going to do some more 'research' now we have it back at the agency so expect more horrific videos to crop up on here sometime soon. All I can say is I'm sorry and this is all in the name of research.

I guess that might be the point.

Of course we recylced it, we're jolly good like that.

The Third Age of Television

2007-02-28T13:08:00.000Z

Yesterday I was at the Roundhouse for The Thinkbox event, ‘The Third Age of Television’ and what a fitting environment it is - vivid, slick and impressive - a venue itself brought back to life after a near death experience. Will the TV and advertising industry come away from the event feeling it has experienced something similar, I thought to myself.

To kick the event off on a positive note, Tess Alps reassured the audience that TV is in good health. We are now watching more TV than ever with a record 2.2 billion TV commercial impacts last year. Even the dreaded (wonderful) PVR (10% of households) brings good news. In fact, PVRs increase our capacity to consume TV advertising as these households watch around 5% more TV advertising than the norm. What is more, 39% of them watch ads even in a time-shifted state (on play back).*

Am I hearing this right? The TV ad industry is in rude health. If times have never been so good then why is TV revenue down? Apparently, the answer is that we are being foolishly distracted and diverting our investment to channels that are less deserving like the Internet.

So what is TV’s case for an increase in investment? Here’s the science bit.

TV is powerful because our brains respond well to it and store the information as associations in the form of neurons. Effectively our responses become hard-wired.

We can even unpick this hard-wiring to help tackle tobacco and alcohol usage (the problem we so masterfully helped to create). Implicitly ad agencies know how the brain works and create ads that drive an emotional response. But we know this. We sing jingles, re-enact the dance moves and plod down to the shops like Pavlovian dogs.

So I listened to all this and just kept thinking one thing. TV is undoubtedly powerful stuff and I can’t dispute that but aren’t we forgetting that great content produced by say HBO can be delivered down a high bandwidth connection skipping the TV channel?

The Internet is certainly not going to change the fact that we love watching programmes like Lost and The West Wing. However, it will affect its delivery and this could bypass much of what is being discussed here today. While Bit Torrent is certainly not a mainstream application it does paint a scary picture for the industry when I can legally download film and TV content to watch when I want. And that’s without mentioning Microsoft, Google or Apple.

But just as I started to wriggle in my seat a fanfare announced ‘The Third Age of Television’. It is essentially TV content delivered across multiple platforms and devices. This we are reassured is going to be the Golden Age of Television. Okay now we’re talking.

We heard how both Sony and Guinness had taken a simple yet powerful TV idea and helped extent their reach through other channels. Encouraging users to take the content and manipulate it for their own purposes. We also heard that whilst the Bravia ad (balls I think) is the most watched TV ad on You Tube at around 3.5 million views this represented only half the total audience for its launch UK spot which ran at half time during Chelsea v Man U last season. It seems TV is not quite dead yet?

There was throughout, what was an excellent day, lots more to see and do but I got most from the discussion between Andy Duncan (Channel 4), Michael Grade (ITV) and Jane Lighting (C5). A lot more realism was displayed not surprisingly by these wise and dynamic leaders of commercial television. Perhaps the most insightful comment was from Michael Grade, in signature pink socks, who said that the Internet would be a very good thing for television. His case was that when TV launched they said it would kill movies. The film industry was so cautious they would not allow movies to air on TV for fear it would kill off cinema audiences. The first film did not air on UK television until 1960.

In fact, TV proved to be a catalyst for the film industry. TV and new technologies, that have emerged since, have all extended the value chain of the film and TV industry. A film now receives more revenue from DVD and computer games sales than box office receipts. The message was clear. TV had to embrace the Internet as a distribution channel to extend the value of its most important asset.

This was a fitting end to a great day but perhaps a little late on. I guess as Andy Duncan said, it is all about scheduling. The big guns were brought on last to keep the bums on the seats although this proved only moderately successful. Those that had left missed the best bit.

Overall I felt there would be winners and losers in this race. The winners would have a clear vision of how the Internet would help transform their business and those that will fail will continue to regard it as a threat. Google and Microsoft have no respect for history. I am sure the battle will be bloody but perhaps one of the most compelling in the history of media.

*Sorry, I didn’t note down the sources for these but I’m sure they’ll be on the web site.

We saw maybe 4 or 5 things that were actually pretty cool. We saw the guy who invented PHP talk about how much he hates programming. We shouted W00T when anybody said 'openID' but didn't know why.
