TakeAway: In such a fast paced life, Danish filmmaker captures his children’s growth through weekly filmings.  This video provides a new spin on the phrase, “kids grow up so fast.”

Excerpted from psfk.com, “Filmmaker Creates Time-Lapse Videos Of His Kids Growing Up

Danish filmmaker, Frans Hofmeester, has a two-minute video that shows his son growing up from birth to nine years old.

He also has a similar video of his daughter where the clip starts off with her as a baby and ends with her at 12 years old.

The two time-lapse videos show the remarkable changes as the children transform from crying babies, to kids with expressive characteristics.

Hofmeester commented that he filmed his children every week. He began with his daughter when he“felt the need to document the way she looked to keep my memories intact.”

His two videos were uploaded last week and have gone viral with more than 4.3 million views combined.

Watch the video below to see Hofmeester’s daughter Lotte grow up from birth to 12 years old in under three minutes.

Is way cool … too cool?

May 1, 2012

Last week, I had an interesting coincidence of events.

First …

I was chatting with an MSB alum who is very active in political circles about the marketing of candidates …. specifically, the impact of advertising.

To paraphrase, he said that relatively few political commercials really break through the clutter and move the needle.

He cited two as commonly regarded success models: Hillary’s “3 a.m. phone call” and McCain’s “Celebrity”.

Then …

President Obama slow jammed on the Jimmy Fallon Show.

Next day, American Crossroads (a GOP Super PAC) ran a “Celebrity” ad knock-off called “Too Cool”

Raises an interesting question:

1) Cool move by the President to engage young folks who vote based on “cool”,?

2) Or, did Team Obama hand Team Romney a gift.

Hmmm.
