Best Branded Video Ad Campaign - Planet Of The Hoax Video

Now, let’s talk about what works and what falls flat in this piece of social video marketing , shall we. Why The Hoax Video Works First of all, just look at the comments. I certainly haven’t read all 11,000 of them, but far more than half of the ones I have read appear to be from people fooled by the hoax–people who seem to believe the video is authentic and legit. The soldiers don’t look like actors, and their costumes look real.  Even the shaky-cam footage feels genuine, particularly after the shooting starts and the “camera man” is forced to take cover. Nothing feels forced or over the top–at least until the monkey starts shooting. And even when he starts shooting, the special effects work is outstanding. Everything about the video feels authentic, in terms of the actual action.

Planet of the Apes

14.07.11

In my head I was thinking about the movie Planet of the Apes, and then the commercial said it was Planet of the Apes and how it all started and it got me thinking…. I must admit I was a little spooked by it. After all, I was ten and the idea of apes running the planet seemed pretty real to me. At that age, I thought monkeys and apes were a little more intelligent than man in the 60s and 70s. In 1968 I was ten-years-old when I watch the Planet of the Apes with Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, and Maurice Evans. The plot of the movie is some that some astronauts land on a planet where the apes are in charge and humans are the slaves. Of course they find out that the planet really is earth and they unknowingly did time travel and well, the rest is history.
