Air NZ Safety instructions video
After making the LARP blog post, we ran into this news item!!!!!
Inspired by the upcoming movie, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the video features a party of hobbits, elves, wizards, dwarfs and cameos from Gollum and native New Zealander, director Sir Peter Jackson.
It’s the latest in a series of creative ANZ safety videos that have included fitness guru Richard Simmons replete in a sequin tank top, and a Rugby World Cup themed video starring a cast of All Blacks players.
“Passengers appreciate the lighthearted and entertaining approach we take to delivering important safety information,” said Jodi Williams, ANZ’s head of international marketing.
“It’s noticeable that on an ANZ flight they sit up and take notice during the pre-flight briefing — expectations of this part of the airline journey have certainly been heightened.”
The text is taken by the CNN website.

We decided to give away a Pinar&Viola secret, artist impressions.
We’re both freakin precise when it comes to an exhibition set-up. First we reconstruct the entire exhibition in the online digital realm, then apply it on the offline physical space. First 2 images are from our Ecstatic Surface Collection 2011, The Credit Card Collection. The 3rd and the 4th belong to our second collection, Diva Opaque, Anonymous Guardians of Intimacy and the last 2 are from Open Portraiture.
Currently we’re bust reconstructing the space at Pilevneli Project, where our Ecstatic Surface Collection 2013 will be launched in September 2012. We’ll reveal more secrets sometime soon.
