Virginia Take 3: October 2013
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Flickr, steadicams and the European Council. Rock, paper scissors? No, Angela, you can only use one hand! When there is a European Council in Brussels, you cannot miss it. Traffic is worse than usual; normally it rains (a divine warning? But what about other EU countries? What can people in Member States see of this important event? What do they make of it all? Maybe, but bear with me. Two thoughts: first, the conscious...

Virginia Take 3: Creative clashes: crowdsourcing or writing by Committee?
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2014/02/creative-clashes-crowdsourcing-or.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Monday, February 3, 2014. Creative clashes: crowdsourcing or writing by Committee? I attended a debate last week, organised by IABC Belgium. The other three panellists were from the communications agency 'Old-Continent' which has produced an alternative video on the elections, called ' We are not sexy and we know it. I have written about both videos when they came out ( here. My impression, admittedly gathered in an unscientific way, was that out...

Virginia Take 3: June 2013
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. One small step.or an impossible leap? I promise, I really promise, my dear reader, that I did seriously try to stop criticising the institutions and their ability to communicate visually - well, if not stop, at least make the criticism less frequent. Some friends have said to me: 'What if one day you want to work for the EU on communications? If you keep on talking badly about them, you will only have enemies there! One sm...

Virginia Take 3: November 2013
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Thursday, November 21, 2013. Commissioner Vassiliou directed by Pedro Almodovar: that's 'Creative Europe'! In a couple of production companies here in Brussels! What the hell. Don't you think that if I name a programme 'Creative Europe' I should at least make sure that the video that introduces such programme, shows an understanding for the meaning of the word 'creative'? Forget the screen shot (a shot of a truncated graphic! Not really. I di...

Virginia Take 3: March 2014
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Thursday, March 20, 2014. An EU video at the cinema.BUT. Last week, suddenly, among the ads that preceded the movie I was about to watch at the cinema, this one popped up:. I know that now you can see immediately that it is about Europe's Common Agricultural Policy (it's written on the top! But when I watched it at the cinema - did you hear me? AT THE CINEMA - I did not know that until the final shot. Pun intended with cow screenshot above).

Virginia Take 3: July 2013
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Thursday, July 18, 2013. Europe: a beautiful brand. I am very proud of being a European. I had countless arguments with British friends that could not imagine considering themselves European before British (or actually English, Scottish, Welsh but that is a different story). I do (certainly before British, way, way before! Whenever you are ready: more than one meaning in this title. Links to this post. Monday, July 15, 2013. Yes, I am super happy...

Virginia Take 3: Just an 'Au revoir'....
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2014/06/just-au-revoir.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Sunday, June 15, 2014. Just an 'Au revoir'. Hello my dear readers, are you still there? You might have been wondering - or not actually - why I had not posted in such a long time. Well, there is a very simple explanation. Do you remember when sometime ago I said that I probably should put my money where my mouth is in terms of communications and the European Union? That is exactly what I am doing, at least trying to.

Virginia Take 3: A ridiculous Bill Gates: viral or just counter-productive?
http://virginiatake3.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-ridiculous-bill-gates-viral-or-just.html
Videos, communications, Europe and some other loose ideas. Thursday, January 23, 2014. A ridiculous Bill Gates: viral or just counter-productive? If you are a Twitter user I am pretty sure you will have seen at least one of the many Bill Gates-sponsored tweets on his third annual letter ' Gatesletter.com. I have seen the digital version but there is a printed one too. Anyway, I have seen one of such tweets at least 3 times in one day (and I did not spend that whole day on Twitter). Because in the end, ha...
