Budu Radio Ad with Fairy Theme from mein melon on Vimeo.


...and that's what we managed to produce in just 1 hour.. :) tell me, which part makes you laugh the most?? hehe..

whatever it is, we enjoyed doing it.. i've never thought that we can do an ad fo Budu! first2 dengar kne buat ad psal Budu i was like "lecturers ni sengaje nk sroh org buat benda yg ktorg x ske..." but my dad said, if the job's easy, you wouldn't learn anything from it.. same case as the MMU and FCM Promo.. klo bg topic yg kte sndri nk buat senangla.. x pyah pk byk2.. if we were restricted to do sumtin, we will want to break out of the box and suddenly we can come out with the perfect idea..

so, that's what we get fo doing last minute works.. well-punished, huh? indeed.. i'm getting too old fo last minute works la.. haih~

Budu Cap Ketereh in Plastic Packaging

so here's our final Script fo Copywriting Budu radio ad.. we wanted to do something out of the ordinary.. so we changed our script to something fantasy-like.. the idea behind it was to make the audience feel the exotic taste of Budu and to attract them towards the practicality and lightness of the fuss-free Budu Plastic packaging.

the radio ad started with a fairy creating a special potion (Budu Cap Ketereh) simultaneously telling people the ingredients she puts in the potion. she also describes the compact packaging of Budu Cap Ketereh. so, we didn't just focus on the packaging, we also inform people about the taste and ingredients of Budu. the important note we wanted to point out is how easy it is to use Budu Cap Ketereh.

i can't upload our radio ad anywhere.. so, i'm just gna let you read the script..

Writers: Ecah, Mein
Fairy Voice Over: Mein
Announcer Voice Over: Ecah
Duration: 30 Seconds
Title: "Carry, Tear it, Eat it!"

***


SOUND EFX: Boiling Sound

FAIRY: Salt, Chillies and Asam Jawa.
These are the ingredients to create the perfect Budu Cap Ketereh!
But, it is not complete, without the extra ingredient, Fermented Anchovies!

SOUND EFX: Magical Puff Sound

FAIRY: Behold! The perfect taste of Budu Cap Ketereh,
leaves you craving for more~..

SOUND EFX: Shimmering Sound

ANNOUNCER: Budu Cap Ketereh!
Tingles your taste bud!
with a fuss-free packaging.
So easy, so tasty!
Just "Carry, Tear it, Eat it!"

suddenly..

Photos from Kosmo! Online

i knew Yasmin Ahmad through her films and Petronas ads.. i didn't have the slightest feeling that she's gna leave us before.. well.. that's the thing.. i can't even picture her leaving us anytime soon.. i don't want her to go just yet.. coz i'm still waiting for more films from her.. her films makes me cry and laugh at the same time.. not many films make me do that.. her films always did..

the first time i heard about the movie 'Sepet' was when my Mom recommended me to watch it coz it's a nice film made by Malaysian director.. and so i watch.. that was the first Malay movie that i can really remember its whole script, scenes and beautiful moments. 'Sepet' makes me want to support Malaysian movies.. it gives a new meaning to our film industry.. and Yasmin Ahmad proves that Malaysian can also produce a movie that perfect it won several international awards.

as a tribute to her, i'm gna share with you some of the ads made by Yasmin Ahmad that i found on YouTube. my sis tweeted on #yasminahmad Trending Topic: will there be no more memorable petronas adz after this...?

probably there won't be.. but, we'll see..



















the most memorable Petronas ad of all:



isn't it ironic...? and my favourite of all..



get to know Yasmin Ahmad

James Alliban's Augmented Reality (AR) Calling Card

gone are the days of boring children's popup storybooks.. with Augmented Reality, people can experience motion and see 360 degrees of 3D objects made by Flash and codes.. stories of the olds can be brought to live again..

this is truly a unique method to give away your calling card (name card / business card):

AR Business Card from James Alliban on Vimeo.


Alliban didn't just show people how they can reach him, he also offers and show in real life what he can do for you. i wonder if my lecturers would be speechless too if i make a video like this for my self promo aritu..

head down to Fubiz fo more of this Augmented Reality stuff!

antara dua budu

* two Budu in different packaging, plastic and bottle are outwitting each other on proving which one is the best:

Plastic Budu: Hey, you, big Budu bottle!
Bottle Budu: Look who's talking, you thin plastic packet!
Plastic Budu: I might be plastic, but I'm more compact and lighter than you are..
Bottle Budu: Who needs a lighter Budu packet when they can have more Budu in me??
Plastic Budu: Who says I don't have as much Budu as you do? I have 4 sachets of Budu in me. What's more, people can bring me to travel. Can you?
Bottle Budu: Uuuh.. No..
Plastic Budu: See.. I'm easier to be served too. No hassle! People can just carry, tear me and eat me! It's that easy!

-Sound Effect: Silly Sound-

Budu Cap Ketereh - Now in a more convenient packet! Just "carry, Tear it, Eat it!"
