Could not sleep .. so made this ... an ode to Oculus and the classic Maxell Ad

[LZoltowski]

So couldn't sleep last night (work stress) , so was doing some research for an ad campaign for a client, and lo and behold I completely forgot about the epic ad campaign by maxell back in the day. I thought, hey ... this works so well for OR ... so here it is ... it's just a doodle so not amazing ... but you get the idea 🙂

Enjoy ... CC licence applies .. 













here is the old maxell ad

Yeh that's pretty awesome Lzoltowski, showing your age a bit there too as well.

Probably the best post in the world.  😉

Great work for a "doodle" @LZoltowski , your creativity is inspiring. 🙂

Nice ideas guys...has the wallpaper competition been forgotten, then?

You are quite creative. Can't wait to see some of the 3D and VR stuff you will create once you get your VR system.

Did you see the Popular Mechanics Palmer photo?  🙂
Crop out also used in the background in one of the dreamdeck demos, although I think they might have added extra infamous rift face O inprint to that one?

[LZoltowski]

@Fredrum OH MY GOD! .... no I never saw that ... spooky!

[RobHermans]

That's amazing! Clearly the same inspiration...and your lampshade is even the same style :#

Sweet ZOLT! I remember the ad/ commercial! man...

Random piece of trivia for the day: That original Maxell ad features the lead singer of Bauhaus - Peter Murphy.   
I only know that from "The Ongoing History of New Music" by Alan Cross.  It's a phenomenal radio show by a Canadian producer @ Edge 102.  If you're into modern Rock anywhere from Punk to current Rock, try to find one of the hundreds of episodes out there.  I'm sure there's a torrent, and I think you can even stream episodes online at edge102.com His show was essentially a podcast before there were podcasts.  If you're a Rock fan, it's worth checking out.

@LZoltowski - I used to sell Audio equipment.  I still have my Marantz SR 6300 OSE with Paradigm M7 v2's.  I use a pair of Mini Monitors for rears, and a PS-1000 that is sitting idle in the box because I'm in a row house and my neighbours don't like earthquakes.

I still remember recording songs off the radio for my bright yellow Walkman.  My father had a pretty massive record collection and gave me free rein as a kid.  I can't imagine how much damage I did to his records back then.
