buzz carney on miami ink and tips on how to get your toys on air
Jared Deal sends word that Carnival Cartoon's own Buzz Carney [blogged] gets some tv screentime in an episode of Miami Ink (July 3rd-ep / not shown in Singapore, unfortunately) as well as one of the talents was wearing a Carnival Cartoons-tee = talk about wicked media-exposure (and by default product placement :p) images shown taken by KR-member mfmunny :)
/// TIPS ON HOW TO GET YOUR PRODUCTS ON-AIR
apparently the CC-folks sent a care package of Carney-goodies to the folks a few months back and tahdaaaaah, they eventually get their 15-minutes of fame! congrats, Jared! LOL
[more screengrabs here]
frankly, during my stint on features or tv, i'd always plant a toy or two in my sets (for my cheap thrills - hey, as the art director; im allowed my indulgences, yeh? LOL) but the "hardest" was to actually get "proper" toys (or the ones that i really wanted to "represent" - besides whoring my own collection) was that the art/props budget could (most times, maybe) nary afford to procure any designer vinyls et al (or worse-case, tis not specific to the story :p) - and i might end up displaying some kitschy-bootleg instead! LOL - so do bare that in mind folks and wonder not why folks don't show as much vinyls on-air, IMHO :)
so, remember to GIVE. and better still if you know anybody in the ART Department (Art Director, Set Decorator / Dresser, Propsman / Property Master, heck, even Wardrobe - and in the "right genre" production, mind) = altho, there are absolutely no guarantees that your figure'll go on-air ... but do lemme say this: tis better to have, than to search for it, and "worse"? find it but can't afford it, IMHO (i say that from "experience" LOL)
SCENE-SCENARIOS TO CONSIDER:
- a kid in a bedroom = he needs toys, right? (tis either he chooses himself, or his/her parents buy them)
- a posh young up-and-coming duder/dudette in his/her swanky apartment/bedroom = needs some uber-rare vinyls on display, for "taste" and "street-cred", no?
- a hip cafe/bar = could have some vinyls strategically placed right above an uplighter, yes?
- a collection defines a character, INHO. what he/she does as a hobby, might give light to who he/she can be/is.
- anybody remember the miniature-toys episodes of CSI? (okay, maybe not of the serial killer-genere, yeh? LOL) ... well, he could have decapitated Dunnys instead, yeh? *bwahahahaha*
here's an example of me whoring comics and toys for a local feature
(my second film) - nearly a decade old!!!!
all items were either borrowed from a comicshop and/or my own collection.
(but the shop got a nice little credit at the end tho) *heh*
