Buy the car, CGI the look and laser cut the body.

When I buy a car I think of it as the starting point, then I need to visual what it would look like when I have made the changes I want, hoping it will look they way I imagine it.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could walk into a dealer, say I want a Chevy Camaro, let’s make it black, the bonnet to have two nostrils, no make it one. Spoiler to look like…etc. The dealer gives the specs to a CGI guy, he produces this video;

And then the dealer laser cuts the body components to the CGI references.

It’s doable!!

A great presentation on the “Social Media Revolution” from socialnomics.net

I love stats, but the thing I like most about stats is that 78.75% of them are made up on the spot. Or was it 14.32%?

Not sure if I totally agree with the whole, “we no longer search for the news, the news finds us” and the relative advertising comment, because people still need to open a browser. You find news when your interested in receiving it.

Got to drive a V8 Supercar (almost) around Oran Park last month, just got the DVD in the mail. Really really really want to go racing again now!

Jim Beam Racing YouTube’ing their stuff

Jim Beam Racing like most teams are getting onto the digital social thing and their Youtube channel is a pretty cool example of doin’ it right.

Giving something back to their fans by talking about things that are happening in the team, technical information about the team and the cars.

Not just another business trying to use social networking to just push advertising out, but giving something back to their viewers and fans.

Good stuff DJ!
