2024 marks a transformative year in the world of intellectual property and creative arts. The beloved 1928 depiction of Mickey Mouse from "Steamboat Willie" now resides in the public domain, a move that is stirring both nostalgia and innovation. This transition ushers in an era where creators can draw inspiration from this classic character, envisioning new narratives that bridge the gap between the golden age of animation and the dynamic creativity of today. The significance of such a cultural icon becoming available for artistic reinterpretation cannot be overstated. It's a moment that celebrates the legacy of creativity while challenging modern storytellers to build upon a nearly century-old foundation. Amid this evolving landscape, content channels like HauntNarratives are seizing the opportunity to explore darker, more complex themes. They exemplify how classic motifs can be reimagined to captivate contemporary audiences, offering a fresh perspective on time-honored characters. For those who delve into the realms of horror and suspense, this presents a unique chance to weave new tales from the threads of the past. While we stand on the cusp of this new creative horizon, it's a time to reflect on the potential for growth and transformation in storytelling. What innovative works will emerge from this blend of the old and the new? How will the iconic figures of yesteryear be reshaped for today's digital canvas? https://lnkd.in/eZbveWGm #PublicDomain #MickeyMouse #CreativeFreedom #DigitalStorytelling #ClassicCharactersNewTwists #AnimationEvolution #HorrorContent #LegacyOfCreativity #StorytellingRevolution #InnovativeNarratives #HauntNarratives #SubscribeAndDiscover

Just revisited Tim Burton's Beetlejuice—a quirky classic, but it always misses the mark for me. 🎬👻 Maybe it's the offbeat humor or the chaotic vibe, but I just can't connect with it.

I had a great chat with Dallas in this episode. His experience in environment design and lighting, is great, and I hope you find it as helpful as I did.

Being straightforward is an asset for producers in 95% of jobs. In the celebrity industrial complex, it’s a bit different. For many entertainment producers, the entire pretense of the red carpet exercise is predicated around NOT being straightforward. The producer has to build up to asking the celebrity questions that the celeb does not necessarily want to answer. Thus, the celeb is on guard from the beginning of every interview. Well, how then, in what is set up to be a contentious dynamic, does a reporter ingratiate him/herself to the talent enough to get the soundbites he/she wants? The same way people should act with everyone they meet: -Be friendly. -Make jokes. -Create a familiarity context. -Use genuine praise and not false flattery. -Be authentically inquisitive. People love to be appreciated. Be generous with compliments, but make sure that the compliments are sincere. Always strive for authenticity in every facet of what you do. We explore all this and more in this newest Carpet Trash featuring an interview I did with Daniel Radcliffe where he correctly predicted the future of the Potterverse. I hope you enjoy.

Wow, Wow, Wow! As a story strategist, I'm always looking for new fodder to feed the storytelling beast, and last night's Carmen at Glyndebourne was a banquet of fresh ideas, stunning craftsmanship and re-imagined interpretations. No wonder it provoked the longest round of applause I've heard ina long time, from (noted with great delight) the most diverse audience I've been in at Glyndebourne for a long time. My take-aways? This is a company steeped in tradition doing everything right to attract a new audience whilst continuing to inspiure and delight their existing loyal tribe. I was there with a couple of seasoned octogenarians, a middle aged opera buff and a first-timer, and everyone took away their own moments of resonance. I'm not going to hit top C any time soon, but in my corporate work, I'm always searching for those moments that strike a chord on an individual level, whatever the audience. Generate enough of them, and you've got what we all enjoyed last night - a performance that felt like an experience, that left the audience transformed and that everyone there will want to talk about, share and remember. Unforgettable storytelling, transforming Bizet's classic into a story fit for todays complicated, uncertain world. Bravo and Brava. #Storytelling #Knowyouraudience #Storiesthatsing https://lnkd.in/e2mtXecT

Post number #one. Inspiration / recommendations for #eventprofs and #marketingprofs. The “Carousel” scene in Mad Men (Season 1, Episode 13, “The Wheel”) One of the most iconic moments where Don Draper’s pitch for #Kodak’s new slide projector. 1. Emotional #Connection Draper sells #nostalgia, not the product. Emotion trumps features. #Emotions = resonance. 2. #Storytelling Draper uses personal memories, making the pitch relatable. #Stories > raw #data. 3. Product #Framing Draper calls the projector a “time machine,” elevating its #significance. Frame your solutions around #human values for greater #impact.

7 reasons why ‘Don’t Jump In’ by STAMMA is already the best campaign film of 2024! 🤯 When STAMMA and agency VMLY&R released their latest campaign film, well… let’s just say I had to take a Hot-5 to decompress. Here’s why I think this campaign film is a stroke of CREATIVE GENIUS, and how I think they have achieved it 💡 Why? 1️⃣ Satire is salient In a crowded market this dry, dark comedy cuts through the noise like a knife through warm butter. A spot-on tone for a world in permacrisis, the campaign cleverly leans into the pitch-blackness and embraces humour as a communal comfort blanket. 2️⃣ Absurdism The ‘Black Mirror-esque’ world of the film is ridiculous, silly and extreme (albeit with a relatable core situation). It embraces its weirdness and truly stands out against a storytelling landscape increasingly reliant on recycled nostalgia from the millennium (please no to a Shrek or Twilight reboot). How? 3️⃣ Information gap Decontextualised opening shots with ‘nonsense’ dialogue? You've got me hooked! We’re an insatiably curious species, and dropping the audience into a strange situation where they want to know what’s going on creates a tantalising yearning to find out what comes next. 4️⃣ Show not tell the 'ta-da' The humorous reveal comes visually rather than verbally. Before the character can get the word out, the wider context is revealed on-screen and the audience has a private ‘lightbulb’ moment. We chuckle to ourselves as the penny drops! 5️⃣ The curiosity train And the context that's revealed? Well it's comically bizarre! This opens up a new information gap ('wtf!') and the audience remain hooked - that curiosity train keeps on choo-choo-ing! 6️⃣ Relatability Hands up who’s ever been on the phone with an automated system? Pretty much everyone. And, sheer eye-rolling frustration #AmIRight? The film leans into a collective experience, saying “Imagine doing the thing we all know and hate - except with a stammer!” 7️⃣ Pace is power The film throws algorithms out the window. It leans into a necessary longer-form approach that does justice to pacing, and the silences and pauses that are key to this deliberately drawn-out story's modus operandi and success. Charity STAMMA and agency VMLY&R have really pulled it out the bag with this one. I haven’t been this excited and inspired by a campaign film in a long time, so hat’s off to all involved. The film went out on social media and will be shown on cinema screens in January 2024. What do *you* think of the film? 🤔 https://lnkd.in/eDQ9bMjB ---------- 👋 Hello I’m Mary, Founder of Faltrego 🎥 Faltrego is a creative agency for charities and purpose-led brands 👀 Click 'View my Portfolio' or visit our website >> www.faltrego.com 💬 Email [email protected] for a no obligation chat n' a cuppa
