quote:

Fans of classic war flicks will know the scene - actor Steve McQueen revs his motorcycle furiously as he is chased by German soldiers.

Hoping to use the bike to jump over a barbed wire border fence, and reach safety in Switzerland, he pauses to gather his thoughts by a barn.

On the side of the building is a big poster advertising a best-selling beer.

You don't remember the billboard advert? Well it might not have been there the last time you watched The Great Escape, but it could well be the next.

Hey yeah. Or maybe the poster could advertise VW cars, or Hugo Boss, or IBM

quote:

So items can be digitally added to almost any movie or TV show. For example, advertisers could put new labels on the champagne bottles in Rick's Cafe in Casablanca, add different background neon advertising signs to Ocean's 11, or get Charlie Chaplin to promote a fizzy drink.

And then a few weeks, months or years later the added products can be easily switched to different brands.

technology is amazing! companies can now ruin classic movies at the push of a button!

quote:

One of the firms that has developed the ability to do this is UK advertising business Mirriad. Its technology is now being used by a Chinese video streaming website, and the makers of hit US TV show Modern Family have also tried it out.

Mirriad's chief executive Stephan Beringer expects such digital product placement to become widespread. His firm came up with the process after previously making movie special effects.

quote:

Mr Beringer says that the next leap forward will be the ability to digitally add product banners to live sports or concert broadcasts "in real time, or milliseconds after".

"There is huge demand for that," he says. "So a penalty or VAR decision in football could see a new advert pop up behind the referee."

oh good!!! I'm so loving excited to be advertised to! Please funnel all the product placements you can find directly into my rear end!

Movies suck anyway. When was the last good one? I could honestly not name you a single movie that's come out in the past 5 years that wasn't some superhero bullshit and even then I'd just be calling it like Avengers 5 or something.

Also movies are too loud.

"Roy Taylor, the chief executive of Californian-based business Ryff, says his firm is taking digital product insertion one stage further.

It has developed the technology whereby the product placement is targeted at individuals, and changes depending on who is watching.

So if you like wine then the hero of a film could be drinking a particular bottle that you might be tempted to try. Or if you are teetotal the star might be sipping on a bottle of branded water."

This is even wilder, imo.

Truth. I can’t think of a movie released this year I’ve been excited to see. Even DUNE looks kind of “meh” to me.

I've met with Mirriad several times. They have no interest in this (classic movies) because it is massively insanley more lucrative and easier to do it to TV shows and have the shows themselves built from the ground up to support this. The future is not editing classic films, it is designing films to be easily editable in the future.

Its super popular for things that run across markets cause you can sell the product placement to multiple companies.

So basically by like 2025 I can expect a personalized film based off of the adventures of Strongo and also lots of advertisements for weed and cheap liquor?

cause that sounds pretty rad. I love the future
