Just having a little fun with the 5 hours of Adriana Lima video. Using Apple's Quartz Composer and Adobe After Effects, I've created this surreal kaleidoscope video for the monitors in our lobby at work. The most amazing parts are when the checkered flag comes into view. The checkers and the kaleidoscope effect make for some stunning imagery.
The overall effect helps to confirm that Adriana Lima is indeed an extra terrestrial from another planet.
There were a lot of requests for a Screen Saver version of "5 Hours of Adriana Lima" amongst the YouTube video comments. In response, I've designed these Macintosh OS X video screen savers that dynamically create a 5-point star or triangular Kaleidoscopic view of any Quicktime MOV, MP4 or M4V.
Above are YouTube video samples of what the screen savers look like. View full screen to get the full effect.
Sorry that there are no Windows versions of the screen savers. If you happen to create them, I will be happy to provide links.
Below are a few good words about our latest work at DNG, and my personal labor of love "Five Hours of Adriana Lima" (seen above). All of this organically generated buzz with no seeding, and no media dollars. Simply upload a video of smokin' hot Brazilian super model Adriana Lima in a bikini waving a flag in super slo-mo for 5 straight hours.
"The title is pretty self-explanatory. To build up hype for its Super Bowl commercial, Kia apparently decided the 15-second teasers all over broadcast television weren't enough."
"Thankfully, Kia’s marketing teams have a viral bone inside them, and they released something really amazing: five hours of Adriana waving a flag wearing a bikini and high-heels."
"Kia actually understands the YouTube audience in a way that few brands manage."
Here's a link the YouTube Brand Channel archive on This Moment's servers, so you can experience it yourself. (Please disregard the giant type in the video posters and thumbnails. Kia added this after the campaign was over.)
