There's no coverup taking place right now.

New stories to cover old lies is a well known conspiracy theory.

Thrive - Occult Symbolism Warfare





I just learned of the Thrive Documentary movie posters and I'm amused. OK, I realise it's classic illuminati calling card in all three but P&G heir Foster Gamble knows the score and says so in his documentary which is to be applauded. I see this as a declaration of symbolism warfare by turning the tables on the elites who suppress the technology that is choking the planet.

If you haven't seen Thrive yet, it's as important as Loose Change and Zeitgeist in terms of tackling taboos of the 21st century.


Update: Time Monk Radio will be interviewing Foster Gamble and asking him about this very question in the near future.

Six Feet Under



Opening sequences or idents for TV programs are a splendid way to understand how to build emotion and feeling into short film clips as indeed we often try in the world of commercials. They are a great example of 'its not what you say but how you say it'.

Idents.tv is a nifty resource if you want to get up to speed on typography, design, music, direction, DOP, special effects and the use of storyboards. Its fascinating to see how the show Six Feet Under created theirs over here.

Headhunters


Just came across this picture on Johnnie's excellent blog and I've unashamedly swiped it because its a pretty good visual for the topic of recruitment. Last night at Pimms Pantones and Poptones with The Design Conspiracy I met John Dodds who has pretty much said the last word on the topic of recruitment over here. There are always exceptions (as with anything in life) but its worth reposting his comment in its entirety.

The recruitment process (across all industries) in the UK has been appalling for decades. It’s partly/largely down to the reliance on recruitment agencies whereby you farm out the acquisition of your most important assets to people who couldn’t get the job in the first place, don’t really understand your business and make their money on churning applicants.

They use phrases like “the client had decided to change the brief” (I was with Lauren a few weeks back when she got rejected for a temp position with that excuse - again after a series of interviews) and, of course, “you’re overqualified” as their standard get out of jail free excuses.

Wake up people! Do it yourself! It’s too important and now, of course, through this medium, we get to know people and their talents much more intimately, can cross reference them simply and the only fee we pay is some occasional abusive blog comments which frankly some of us deserve. - John Dodds
