#Record Adverts

Tumblr media
BOTH SONGS WERE BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS, BUT THE SINGLE STILL FLOPPED.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on a record advert for the "Sunday Morning/"Femme Fatale" 7 inch single by American rock band THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, released under the Verve Records label in December, 1966.
"The Velvet Underground and Nico have been zooming the breadth and width of the land making a name for themselves and now follow the personal stuff with a potential-filled deck. Tbe top side, "Sunday Morning" is a haunting lyrical emotion stirring chant. Listen very closely, eerie, unusual number back here."
-- VERVE RECORDS, c. 1966

a PSA for anyone dressing as Ron Mael for Halloween
(Or any other time of year, because that is also completely valid :))
Idk if deciphering horrendously pixellated scans of old magazine articles is a talent unique to me, but I managed to decipher the entirety of that Groom at the Top one so here you go: Ron's hair regimen.
Tumblr media
The article is from 1974, so Sparks would've been living in England at the time and thus the Yardley brilliantine will be most authentic -- but if you're in the US and want to grab everything on one trip to Walmart, there's another brilliantine from a brand called Tres Flores. A bit stickier and shinier, but it works just as well.
And okay, Ron didn't actually use Aqua Net, but the hairspray he mentioned is no longer made. Everything I've ever read about 1970s hair care, though, says that all the "dry look" spray products for men were basically just repackaged Aqua Net.
So without any further ado, let's hear the facts from Ron. (Article transcribed below)
"First of all it's essential that your hair is fairly short. Remember that maintaining this style involves a daily ritual every morning. Otherwise it won't last very long."
"To start with wash your hair, to get rid of all the grease from the day before. After it's washed leave it quite damp, don't towel it off too much. This is quite important."
"Then spread some Brylcreem on one of your index fingers, rub it between your palms and apply it to the hair. Then do the same with an equal amount of Brilliantine."
"Next you have to comb it using preferably the wide end of the comb so that it leaves wide tracks in the hair, for some reason it looks better if you have fairly fallow grooves running across your head."
"Once that's done you can then spray it with a kind of lacquer called Brut Extra Hold Hair Spray. After that you're all set for the rest of the day. It's a long process, about 10 minutes every morning, but once you've done it you can forget about it for the next 24 hours."
"If you suffer from electricity in the hair you can add some anti-static spray -- the sort that's meant for records. We tried it for a while. I don't know whether it cured the static, but it sure does wonders for the hair."
So successful has Ron's image been that he is quite prepared to adopt it for the rest of his life.
"I've got quite used to it now, it's become a habit. It's my natural style. I'm not trying it out to see how it works. This isn't a phase I'm going through. This is the way I am. Till death do us part."
Naturally enough as with all progressive ideas, there are many drawbacks to the Ron Mael look. Ron is only too well aware of them.
"When I'm walking on the streets I get people yelling wanting to know who let me loose or telling me how much I look like their father. Also having short hair means you can get very cold in the ears at times."
But there are still advantages.
"It's a good way of starting conversations at a party. All you have to say is, 'So what do you think of my hair then?'"
-----
A couple tips from me: "quite damp" doesn't mean "still dripping", you'll want a VERY generous fingertip full of product if your hair is a bit longer (like present-day Ron length), and try to fuss with your hair as little as possible when combing it into the desired shape so that it doesn't lose too much of its hold.
Not gonna lie, I'm still looking for a more "socially acceptable" way to wear this stuff as a female, 'cos it makes my hair feel soooooo soft and nice, and it smells fucking AMAZING...

Advert Alchemy: The Timing
Tumblr media
In this series, Squideo is breaking down the eight key ingredients to turn your advertising content into gold! In the last edition of Advert Alchemy, we examined the importance of music in creating the perfect marketing campaign. This week, we’re looking at the importance of timing. 
How long should your advert last and when should you hit your audience with unique selling points (USPs)? Timing is everything and hitting the right notes at the right time is the difference between your audience visiting your website or pressing mute. 
Time to Shine
The ideal length of your advertisement varies depending on three factors: 
01. Location, Location, Location
Adverts can be shown on multiple platforms, so either focus on one main platform or create multiple versions for maximum optimisation. An advert on Facebook should ideally be 60 seconds, 30 seconds for television, and up to 15 seconds for YouTube. 
02. Countdown 
Do your market research. How long is the average viewer going to watch an advert on the platform of your choice? How long is your target audience going to watch? Don’t make an advert your customers won’t want to watch or you might turn them off your brand altogether. 
03. Cash to Splash
If you’re planning to air an advert on television, remember that the longer your advert runs the more it will cost. The cost of your advert will also depend on the platform you want to broadcast it on, as different channels charge different hosting fees. 
Making Your Time Up
Let’s break down five adverts of different lengths and examine how they use timing to maximise their impact. 
01. Breaking Records
The longest television advert, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, lasted a whopping 14 hours! Shown exclusively in Brazil, it filled a gap between scheduled television much like teleshopping does on British satellite channels. Creating this was no small feat, with production and editing lasting months. 
The brand which produced this gargantuan advert is one you’ll definitely have heard of: Old Spice. Their advertising campaign, created by Procter & Gamble, has been so successful that it led to a 60% increase in sales of Old Spice products after the first advert aired when the initial increase target had only been 15%. 
youtube
The Old Spice adverts have been so successful, their campaign has run for over 10 years. It’s accomplishments are down to its fast humour, excellent audience targeting and fantastic casting. From the offset, Old Spice adverts start selling, packing a perfect punch into its longest and shortest ads. 
02. Blink and You’ll Miss It
On the other end of the spectrum are adverts so short it’s entirely possible to miss them: blipverts. 
What’s the point of that you ask? In a world of fast-forwarding, ad-blocking and skip buttons, getting to the point quickly is an artform that’s worth mastering. 
The shortest Superbowl advert to ever run was half a second long. Viewers caught sight of a logo and heard the name. Curiosity was piqued. The Seattle restaurant Ivar’s is known locally for its eccentric advertising campaign, but this stunt took the brand to a new level of national infamy. 
But the record holder for the shortest ever advert goes even further. The adverts for MuchMusic last 1/60th of a second, appearing on screen as a flash of an image. These would be run concurrently during advertisement breaks to ensure viewers took notice. 
youtube
03. Epic Odyssey
After hearing about an advert 14 hours long, something 90 seconds or over seems fairly tame. But compared to the average length, this is considered quite the investment. It’s rare for adverts to last longer than 30 seconds, so having something running for 90 seconds plus is certainly attention grabbing. 
These long-form adverts can also be shortened into multiple segments making them very adaptable. On British TV, these long adverts are typically infomercials (think JML) or Christmas placements (John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Aldi etc.). 
Warburton’s is a British companies that frequently likes to break the 30 second average. Whether it’s Robert de Nero creating a bagel empire, Peter Kay romancing the wholegrain, or The Muppets singing about crumpets, each advert is worthy of the time it takes and proudly showcases the product. 
youtube
04. Running on Standard
Most adverts last between 15 and 30 seconds. An interesting way to shake up this average, however, is to create a series of adverts that run on from each other. This gives viewers an incentive to keep watching, which helps reinforce your brand in their memory, without paying for a longer advert which could lose the attention of an audience. The adverts can then be spliced together to create a longer advert to show on YouTube or your website. 
Take a look at this compilation of John Smiths adverts. The brewery used the same group of actors throughout the series of adverts – including the well-known comedian Peter Kay. The plot often ran on from the same location, e.g., a wedding, a restaurant. 
youtube
They became so popular with viewers that, when the advert series ended in 2005, there was a public campaign calling for its return. 
05. Topsy Turvy
You can also run what is a called a top and tail advert. These are two adverts in the same television break of 15 seconds each, giving a total length of 30 seconds. These adverts are usually run by show sponsors. 
John Lewis, for example, sponsors Channel 4, specifically their home related content (Homes on 4) like Grand Designs or A Place in the Sun. Their adverts are created to run before and after each commercial break, which is why they decided to use this advert style. 
Have a look at their latest advert. The video below is the full version, which is split before airing on television to follow the top and tail format.

TL;DR : Please report any adverts or blaze posts you see that contain flashing images to tumblr.com/support 
After my blaze post about disability access in media was rejected due to reasons ungiven, I got in contact with Tumblr and pointed out their irony in rejecting my post but continuing to promote adverts that contain dangerous levels of flashing imagery, high contrast colours, and glitch effects. 
They told me to screenshot/screen record any of these adverts I saw and report them to tumblr.com/support along with the approximate date and time and the website they redirect to. 
Of course, for Photosensitive people who have been forced to witness these adverts, this sort of thing is nearly impossible. How can you have the wherewithal to report an advert whilst suffering from a seizure or migraine? 
This is where Allies come in! Please can you collect any and all adverts you see that contain flashing lights at a rate of 3 Flashes Per Second or higher/Glitch Effects/High Contrast Colours? Then, on 26th March (Epilepsy Awareness Day) I suggest that we all send these adverts in on mass! It'll help to get our point across that this is a REGULAR OCCURRENCE that affects an entire community of people, and hopefully we'll be able to enact some actual change to make this website more accessible for disabled people! 
If you are seeing this after 26th March, or worry you'll not remember to do so by then, fear not! You can send the posts to Tumblr Support year round! It's just useful to have a date to organise these things around for maximum impact.
After their rejection, Tumblr gave me a free blaze so let's see if this one gets put through! Or if they'll reject it on unknown grounds once again.

Choosing The Right Voice Over Artist
There are a few important factors to consider when choosing the right voice-over artist for your project. First, you need to consider the type of project you are working on. Is it a commercial, an instructional video, or a corporate narration? Each project will require a different type of voice-over.
Next, you need to consider the tone of the project. Is it light and fun, or serious and educational? The tone of the project will help you narrow down your choices of voice-over artists.
Finally, you need to consider your budget. Voice-over artists can range in price, so you need to find one that fits within your budget.
Take the time to consider all of these factors and you'll be sure to find the perfect voice-over artist for your project.

Tumblr media
Namjoon:
• Tries to be discreet with your dating but will accidentally leave hints like some of your merch/stuff in the background of his pics/lives.
• Paparazzi pics in museums & galleries. Definitely off guard
• Always in touch when the other is away.
• Will publicly share your music/projects. Is a big supporter
• Spotting’s in clubs. Shades on dancing the night away. Y’all are definitely the talk of the night
• You both subtly post things on your story that insinuates that you both might be dating. Same location, same background, posting pics at same event or place. Posting songs that relate to each other.
• You both definitely talk through your stories. Talking to each other through songs or silly captions etc
Tumblr media
Jin:
• Will shut down any bad rumour about you. Very defensive when it comes to you.
• Big supporter and is at all of your shows/events cheering you on if he can.
• Goes on live wearing your merch
• Lives where both of you are cooking together and bickering with each other about who’s better or who does it right.
• Idk I can see y’all presenting together?!! And kinda teasing each other. (I see this before you start dating. And this causes speculation which kind of initiates both of you dating??)
• You both definitely post pics of each other being a mess. Off guard pics 100%
Tumblr media
Yoongi:
• Song covers while he plays the instrumental for you on his guitar or piano
• Will stick up for you and will shut down any bad rumour about you. Very defensive when it comes to you. And if you're getting hate he's gonna make sure it's dealt with
• Very protective when out in public together. Is like your own little personal bodyguard and will hold your hand and lead you away from the paparazzi/fans
• Will go on live and call out everyone for your fan edits. Even though he acts like he doesn’t like it he blushes and secretly saves them.
• He’s caught with your picture as his lockscreen
Tumblr media
Hobi:
• Loads of dance videos and choreographies.
• Lives where you both are just dancing and vibing in the practice room.
• Duet video dance covers that he begs you to do
• Cameos in each others MVs
• Has your merch. Has your photocard hanging on his jeans or bag for sure.

• Always showing you off to the cameras with a big grin on his face. Showing your photocard, merch, his lockscreen of you, showing his nails or any jewellery with your initials on it.
• Taking selfies with your posters/adverts with a big smile on his face. Or even will do a little freestyle dance in front of it lmfao
Tumblr media
Jimin:
• Cameos in each others projects. Him more so in yours.
• Will talk about you in his lives. Will purposely make up a comment and read it out and then go on a whole rant about you. Will get shy and then wave it off
• Duet video covers that you beg him to do
• Posting pics with the same background/location so people know you're together
• Likes every and any fan edit of you both.
• You both are always spotted on little dates like cafes, pottery painting or just casual walks
• You both wear matching jewellery that he picked out himself
• Taking selfies with your posters/adverts with a happy proud smile on his face and the most sentimental and encouraging paragraph
Tumblr media
Taehyung:
• Cameos in each others projects/MVs
• Loads of leaked messages of y'all being messy
LFMAO.
• Loads of photo shoots from him. He loves being your personal photographer
• Will purposely like and interact with any conspiracies and speculations about you dating. (Before you both went public with your relationship)
• He will beg you to go on variety shows together. He sees it as something fun. I can see you both bickering during the recording and making fun of each other/ teasing. You both would kill it though even though you don’t take it seriously you’d probably end up doing great in the games.
• Public outing spottings. You guys are always seen out together holding hands or him with his arm around you. You guys always stop for pictures.
• You both wear matching jewellery to symbolise your relationship
• Y’all are always caught kissing in public. So many pictures have been leaked
Tumblr media
Jungkook:
• Paparazzi pics of your date nights. Holding hands and running away from the paparazzi/fans as a game
• Very sneaky and lowkey. Like you're known to be dating but you're very sneaky with it. Always hiding from paparazzi and not really speaking about your relationship publicly.
• But will publicly stick up for you if there's rumours going around or hate. He's shutting that shit down
• Duet cover videos that you guys randomly post that has the fans going insane
• Hot dance covers. Y’all both being sweaty having re-recorded many times due to fuck ups, teasing and getting distracted iykwim ;)
• Always FaceTiming and calling when either of you are away. You both miss each other so much and you can't go without communicating. He literally will keep on messaging you if you don't respond
• Fan edits go crazy and he eats it up every time. He’s obsessed with watching them.
• I can imagine him calling you during his promotion sketch videos. Seen giggling on the phone to you, excited to talk to you after his promotions. Sometimes you might even make a cameo in them
• You’re always seen discretely wearing his clothes
