Welcome to the future of advertising?

"A 'video in print ad' is just like those birthday cards that play Happy Birthday when you open them, but this one has a screen and plays a video! I'm impressed." - My friend Nicolas Feustel from the EMC just posted this on Facebook and I'm impressed, too! Maybe instead of producing television, we will soon produce b-day cards :) that would be fun!!

You can fast-forward the video to 00:24.

The biggest ever Finnish tv-production outside of Finland is now in pre-production

Nelonen has just greenlighted a new docusoap "Travel Guides". The new daily stripped docusoap follows the lives travel guides on the Turkish riviera. Production will take place in Alanya from late August till early November and the production company is Susamuru. The show will air in 2010.

And yes - you read the headline right. This docusoap with 40 episodes is even bigger than the production of Robinson for the Finnish tv-industry. Robinson was a line production by Strix, so that was more than 50% Swedish :)
