The End of Publishing

Posted on: 03/16/10 If you haven't seen this video already, you owe it to yourself to watch it all the way through. It's from DK Publishing in the UK, created for internal use, but now it's spread outside the company.

Awesome video (and one that reinforces my already-high opinion of DK Publishing). Thanks so much for sharing!

So I showed it to MotherReader, and she was singularly unimpressed. Apparently, it's a near-direct lift of an earlier video ("Lost Generation"), which is in turn adapted from an Argentinian political advertisement ("The Truth"). I had no idea what she was talking about, but (and it shames me to admit it) she may be more wired than I.

I still love the sentiment, but I begin to see why this was intended strictly for internal distribution.

That was pretty epic. Must've taken some time to come up with that and execute it as well as it was. I'm impressed.
