We humans are tiny little ants on a giant stone. Consigned to the forces of nature.

Sad, disappointed, hate volcano.

Two days of creativity, two days of passion, two days companied by the best promos, trailers and ads and their creators. April 2010, it's Promax time again!
This time the world's most prestigious broadcast media conference takes places in Lisbon, Portugal on 19-20 April. On-air promotion, broadcast design, TV branding and other serious media issues from the cream of the cream.

Taking a quick look at the sessions and speakers list on the conference's website comes the question: Where's Danny Yount, Lee Hunt or Jim Booth? They might left the platform to the next generation and hopefully will show up in the crowd.
This year's lineup is exciting and interesting, personal top3 speakers are Piyush Raghani, Steven Hore and Richard Holman.

In a couple of days our small crew reaches the walls of Lisbon where the Sun's shining and the Ocean's deep blue and will do its best to keep you updated on the actual Promax happenings. We're traveling by stealth, only after dark and strictly under cover. Beware Lisbon! The Fearless Four is on the way!

Ladies and gentlemen: Ray Charles!

My little Asian trip is seams to be over. Now back to Budapest where it's cold and dark and raining. I'm loaded with memories I'll never forget, stories to tell and last but not least I'm full of amazing HD recordings from Hong Kong to Dubai that needs to be edited and presented to you in the future. Films to work on in the following weeks.

 

And I took one more thing from India: enthusiasm for the ZooZoo's! A brilliant commercial campaign from Vodafone for the Cricket-season directed by Indian ad filmmaker Prakash Varma.

 

Believe it or not these little fellows are not animated but real men and women dressed in white costumes in a real set.

Back from Hampi. Was great. Hampi is the place where's actually nothing to do. Maximum Chillout. Spiritual and very religious place, the government bans selling alcohol and meat, so tourism is really sucks. You can visit temples and meet monkeys. There's a river through Hampi the other side is an israeli dominant party place but when we wanted to cross, guys in the boat said that the boat comes back only tomorrow because the water level is too high. There's a bridge in process nearby but it fell down this January among mystical circumstances. Maybe the gods don't want Hampi to become party place. Understandable. So we decided to stay on the peaceful side and made tours in the hills visiting temples. The scariest thing was that no matter how high a temple was built in the hills each of them has its own guard who lives there and watches the temple. Like in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Old women who climbs the rock each day or live in the hills. And when you think you're alone in the middle of nowhere someone appears and watches you. The hills have eyes!

Here in Hyderabad the Durda-Pooje festival is happening all the week. Muslim Ramadan's just over last week, now hindi celebrate Durga, the goddess of destruction with dancing and singing in every street all across India. Huge street marching and carriage of giant statues on trucks to the lake of Hyderabad. And as I was informed this is like this in about every month. India has many gods...

The bad thing that can not really enjoy the festival as got cold two days back. Must be on the bike when we were three on a Hero Honda in the rain on the way to the cinema. Real Indian style. We went to see Quick Gun Murugan. Whatever. I asked for a big onion from Balu's mom and ate it with four limes and a small bottle of Red Knight whisky we bought for 38 Rupees. Had some vitamins and aspirin and went to sleep. Both onion and alcohol are strictly forbidden in Balu's house because of religious reasons, but I hope the gods will forgive me. I slept the whole day, now I'm a lot more better.

Posting is paused for a couple of days, we go to Hampi tonight, visit the birthplace of Hanuman, the Monkey God. Hampi's about 500 km from Hyderabad, full of ancient temples and spiritual ruins and the monkeys say it's better than Goa.

12 hours on bus. Roll Dakta!
