JetBlue Flight Attendant Steven Slater, the Animated Version: The Company Behind the Clip

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

By Miguel Gonzalez, Jr.

 

NextMedia Animation made a global splash on the web by producing computer-animated dramatizations of news events, including details of the Wikileaks documents and that fateful night at Tiger Woods’s home when the golfer fell to earth. Imagine a bargain-basement Pixar crossed with TMZ and you get an idea of what the company does.

The Taiwan-based studio, a unit of Next Media Ltd., recently released its latest work: the tale of Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant who left work Monday after a profanity-laced address to a plane full of passengers, exiting the aircraft via the emergency chute at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport. Click Here to read the full article.

What a great video

So in July I had the pleasure of attending the Tori Amos concert here in Portland.  It is always a mystery as to who will open for her during these shows.  I am usually pleasantly surprised by the simple, yet talented groups she has tagging along with her on her tours.  Through her I was introduced to the Ditty Bops, and this show was no exception.

One Eskimo is a great group with harmonizing melodies that just kind of take you away.  I was at Starbucks the other day and picked up one of their free Itunes downloads, and to my surprise One Eskimo was offering not only their song, but an animated video as well.  Check it out below!

Norman Milton Lear, born July 27, 1922 is a classic American television writer and producer who produced such sitcoms as All in the Family, Sanford and Son, One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, Good Times and Maude.

His contributions to popular culture are profound, as well as his ability to sew and dismantle racial, prejudice and political power and project to the masses should continue to be applauded.

To get a really good sense of this mans contributions but more importantly – his style, demeanor, pride, integrity and full-heartedness, check out this documentary from the Sundance Channel with Norman Lear and his friend Howard Shultz, Chairman of Starbucks. A very inspiring watch.

Enjoy! And Happy Birthday Norman from your fans at Olive.

Get Well MCA!

All of us at Toast & Jam and Olive Studio, without hesitation are huge supporters of the band The Beastie Boys. Recently, Adam Yauch of the infamous trio has humbly declared he has recently been diagnosed with cancer (near the throat/lymphnode). We just wanted to take a moment to send our best – and we wanted to send out some serious positive energy.

Now Adam can “Kick It”.

Just One Man’s Claim – On United Airlines

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

by Eric Goldstein

Well, I doubt the claims department at United Airlines wasn’t expecting this to get as big as it did. A musician was flying United Airlines. He sees his luggage (guitars) being tossed around and not treated with care. He lands in Chicago and to his dismay, there was indeed damage to his instruments. He goes through various claim recovery steps within United Airlines “process” and tracks who he spoke only to find at the end of his troubles, the answer is NO to his request for recovery.

He decided to write a song and post video on YouTube. To this day, over 4.25 million people have clicked to watch this video. That’s a lot of people being influenced around which airline they might or MIGHT NOT travel in the future. Reputation management rule #1. Customer is always right. It would have been much more cost effective and appropriate for United Airlines to treat him with more respect, pay what damages he was claiming than to the be the subject matter of such a creative and memorable, viral clip.

Also, we now know who Dave Caroll is.
