Boots Christmas Special Because

Boots UK is running #SpecialBecause, an integrated advertising campaign encouraging a celebration of all of the special people this Christmas. At the heart of the campaign is a commercial set in the early hours of Boxing Day. The advert tells the story of a household for whom the magic starts to emerge while everyone else is heading to bed. From the sleepy husband waiting up on the couch, to Mum and Dad driving across town bundled up from the cold, Uncle Charlie walking his dog through the late night, snowy streets and the daughter racing home from her gap year, the advert shows the lengths to which one family goes to deliver a surprise Christmas celebration for a nurse who as a mum, daughter, sister and wife makes them feel special every day of the year. The TV spot ends with the strap line ‘Because she’s special’.

Boots Christmas Special Mum

Andy Ferguson, Director of Marketing, Boots UK, explains, “We know that for our customers giving the perfect Christmas gift offers much more than just the present itself, it is a way for them to show how much they care. This Christmas we want to inspire our customers to celebrate the special people in their lives, not just by giving the perfect gift from Boots, but by sharing the reasons they matter for the whole nation to see.

The Boots Christmas Special Because campaign includes cinema, out of home, print and digital advertising, direct marketing and PR, with social media on @BootsUK (#SpecialBecause) and facebook.com/BootsOfficialUK.

'Reely and Truly' – a short film on photography (Director's Cut)


‘Reely and Truly’ is a new documentary from director Tyrone Lebon. The 30-minute film is an visual poem on contemporary photographers and their practices. Lebon’s intention is for the film to be a photographic object in itself. It is shot on all available celluloid formats (including 65mm, 35mm, super 16mm, 16mm, and super 8mm). The film has a free structure with an unconventional narrative, taking on the form of a visual poem. This film is part of the ongoing ‘Reely and Truly’ project which will culminate in a book of photographs, texts and films about the practice of over 30 contemporary photographers to be published by DoBeDo in 2015. This 30 minute film is an extended trailer for that project. Featuring (in order of appearance): Mark Lebon, Dick Jewell, Juergen Teller, Jack Webb, Sean Vegezzi, Jason Evans, Nigel Shafran, Fumiko Imano, Charchakaj Waikawee, Lina Scheynius, Nobuyoshi Araki, Takashi Homma, Ari Marcopoulos, Jill Freedman, Nick Sethi, Asger Carlsen, Arne Svenson, Petra Collins, Tim Barber, Renee Cox, Mario Sorrenti, and Lele Saveri. The book is availaible for pre-order at www.DoBeDo.Co.uk

We are Narcisses


‘We are Narcisses’ is an interactive project that transposes Ovid’s myth with the help of a few simple materials : a mirror, some water, and a speaker. The more the viewers look at themselves, the more their faces are deformed, leading them to question their relation to their own image.

Twice a month, I upload a new tutorial with exotic and plain paper airplane designs that fly far, fast and straight.
Stay tuned for those future paper planes and subscribe to my channel on YouTube – It is free! ►► http://goo.gl/NDQiiT ◄◄

The Strike Eagle paper airplane in this tutorial is my creation. It was inspired by an origami plane of my first video tutorials after lots of feedback in order to create a better design and a better flight performance.
Due the shown test flights you can count on the fact that this paper plane is guaranteed airworthy: It flies far, straight and fast!

Used Material:
You have to use any type of European DIN A4 – 80 g/m², 29 cm x 21 cm – that is ordinary office paper used for the printer or copier. The paper should not be heavier or lighter than the given 80 g/m² – experiment if you wish so.

Guide and tips for folding:
The instructions are shown step by step and important and difficult steps are explained in detail (Activate annotations for explanations!).
I recommend to process all steps mentally before starting to fold. The lines created by the folds have to be used for orientation during folding the next steps. All folds have to be extremely symmetrical! Always smooth the paper to prevent waves.

Guide and tips for throwing:
You have the most beautiful flight performance on dry and windless days: Unfortunately paper is very susceptible to moisture and powerless against wind.
Just as there are different grips and swings in golf, each paper airplane must be held and thrown in the right way as well. In general, the best grip position is the center of gravity. Nevertheless, it is important to try different grip positions to get the best result possible.
In order to achieve the desired flight effect, it is necessary that the paper plane is thrown with different intensities (lightly, hard..) and in different angles (often between 30° and 45°).

Only a paper airplane, that is precisely folded and thrown in the correct way, will reach its maximized ability to overcome larger distances.

Safety note:
Throw this paper airplane only when there is nobody in flight range to avoid collisions. 😉
