We at my company coANDco UK are proud to have produced two videos for Middle East online media and advertising expert FoldedUp.com. Soraya Abbar has been directing and producing two videos. The first one is a very nicely done short advertising getting the idea of FoldedUp.com to the point:

Finding your way around the variety of media channels is not easy these days. Especially in an emerging market such as the Middle East. FoldedUp.com is the perfect partner to bring clarity into the confusion. This has been nicely illustrated in the first, shorter illustration video using the music of Maura Musciacco.

The second video is more about company information, the hard facts and the actual tools the site provides.

John just got a compliment – there was a note on the windshield saying “Parking Fine”.

Jane used to play sports. Then she realized you can buy trophies. Now she’s good at everything.

John found out light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

John: Computer games don’t affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

Jane found out her library book ’successful time management’ is weeks overdue….

Jane: okay who’s the wise guy putting all the W’s in the M ‘n’ M’s bag?

John says, “before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes, so when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.”

Jane is upset she mixed up her voodoo dolls. If you feel any sharp, stabbing pains, please call me and describe the location. Thanks!

John: Since writing on toilet walls is done neither for critical acclaim, nor financial rewards, it is the purest form of art. Discuss.

In this age
images are powerful.
Powerful enough to divide
to spread fear
to remove hope
Powerful enough to unite
to build trust, to inspire action.
Unilt now, images of the many
have been held in the hands of few.

Finally that is changing.
Millions of people around the world
are telling their own stories.

For the first time in history
we have a chance to see the world differently
to see it through the the eyes of the other.

Imagine if we could get inside
each other’s heads for a day.

What would we see?

We are about to find out.

A worldwide search has begun
to find films of unique power
films that provoke
entertain
inspire.

Films made by the world
for the world.

On May 10, 2008
millions of people across the globe
will gather to witness these films
in a spectacular event
broadcast this live to the entire world.

Visionaries
and musicians
will join the celebration.

And it will continue afterward in cyberspace
as a newly connected global community.

You could be part of it.

Pangea Day.
