Calling all out of work, starving creatives! Wait, that would be discrimination or something and we don’t do that in this industry, right? So I guess even working creatives are welcome too. iCrossing has created 48 Seconds, a video contest for its client Embarq, an internet, satellite, wireless and phone provider. As expected, some of the videos are crap. Others surprise. Here’s a nice one of a guy painting a mural of the Joker.

Why is the contest called 48 seconds? Because, with Embarq internet service, web pages will load 48 seconds faster than dial up, not that anyone’s actually on dial up anymore but still.

so if you need a little extra cash and you think youu can do better than all those consumer generated idiots out there, enter the contest and show the world how “real” creative is done.

Deciding to back into a spot before getting out of the car is a small, literal example of what researchers call an implementation intention, a well-studied planning technique in which deciding in advance exactly how a future action will unfold measurably increases the odds of following through on it
