Shooting Beckham

In what is my first project with the Japan team, I had the chance to get Beckham act the way I wanted. We had 90 minutes of his time. 30 for a cool viral TV script, 30 for a lame Japan launch TV script, and 30 for a wicked website idea, where you'd actually be able to communicate with a video-Beckham by sending him SMS to his mobile phone. Unfortunately the Japan team shooting the launch TVC overan their time which left us with 10 minutes of Beckham in front of a greenscreen. The boys at North Kingdom though did magic and produced an awesome website, unfortunately without SMS to Beckham. Check it.

Smorgrasbrod - MSN congress in Sweden

MSN invited me to hold a speech at their Swedish MSN Innovate congress. I used the opportunity to catch up with my old friend Dominic Goldman and the folks from North Kingdom. Though I enjoyed speaking to the Swedish comunity quite a bit, I was rather dissapointed when there was no airport pickup, no welcome note, and we were accommodated in a hotel that's more like the YMCA.

Here is a lovely banner they created.

And here is the whole speech as a video for download

And conveniently they also uploaded a small part to youtube.
