Shock Shake Blog – Tshirt and Clothing talk

We have commissioned our good friends VFX Pictures to help us with a Shock Shake viral video campaign for the summer – but before we came along they were working hard on their first comedy video campaign – Bounty Hunters – a light hearted showcase of video editing techniques to add to their new YouTube channel.

We HIGHLY recommend watching this film as not only is it well filmed and edited, it is a great appetiser for the upcoming Shock Shake viral.

Best watched in at least 720(HD) and on full screen to do it justice

If you like what you see, help us spread the video around the net using this link:

Maybe his turbulent two-year relationship with model Kate Moss has had lasting effects, as Pete Doherty – notorious for his dalliance with drugs and dishevelled appearance – is becoming somewhat of a fashion addict.  In December he launched a range with London jewellery designer Hannah Martin and now it has been announced that the Babyshambles front man will be collaborating with French brand The Kooples.Known for its contemporary edge the Parisian label, has enlisted 32-year-old Pete to create a mini-collection for men and women that will hit its stores in October.

Oh good, another highly trained introvert celebrity is going to be designing some clothing for a French fashion house.

Surely you’ve heard by now? A team of US Navy Seals stormed a compound in Pakistan shooting 5 people dead, one of them being Osama Bin Laden. They then promptly dumped his carcass in the ocean… because that’s how the US Navy rolls. To mark this occasion, here are the best Dead Osama Bin Laden T-Shirts we’ve come across so far

sorry for the lack of bloggage, holidays and all that…

We saw a lot of people wearing some crazy costumes in celebration of the Royal Wedding yesterday.

But we have to say these t-shirts made us laugh the most.

ROYAL WEDDING WOOP WOOP.

now its done does that mean we never have to listen to people talk about it ever again? no? shit.

At least there was a lot of people embracing the event with some comedy tshirts.

like this I HEART WILLY tshirt.  I bet Kate wore one as a nightie the next morning.

I would imagine there are hundreds of designs for “the invisible man”.  But i like the way this one has so much attention to detail on the drawing, it looks dated yet modern.

did you know that every Giraffe has a unique spot pattern on their coat? And did you know that Giraffe Ink Tees have a very cool and unique style about them? If you didn’t know these two facts already, then I suggest you read more….

I did not know that every Giraffe has unique spots, but do you know the Cool new Tshirt company called Giraffe Ink.  I like the simple styles and what not.   so should you.

Last week we announced that we were preparing to launch 2011: A Merch Odyssey, and we are very busy getting everything ready to go for next Wednesday!

Here is a little sneak peek to let you know what you are in for next week!

Even though I own many myself, in my opinion, Band Tees are largely dross and you couldnt wear them to anywhere other than a gig.

BUT i really like this Tegan and Sara Tshirt that is being launched next week.

It could just be because I have a massive passion fest for both of them and that.

love. Mick.

found this quite disturbing T-shirt when I was browsing images created by Guiseppe Arcimboldo, the guy who painted people’s portraits as an aggregation of vegetables – really freaky.

via Not the average Easter bunny T-shirt | We don’t care about anything – except T-shirts.

A bit disturbing. but i like the vibe of an angry Easter Bunny with a week to go before jesus’s big event where he eats chocolate eggs.

you can but it here

Something wacky this way comes. Weve seen spy cameras smartly hidden in pens and watches, but this has got to be the first: the spy camera t-shirt. Its not something that you can really use in the office unless youve got Casual Wednesdays or Fridays but you can literally capture any scene in front of you whenever you want or need to.

via The Spy Camera T-Shirt Gives You The Real Deal.

This is actually amazing.  A camera in built into a Tshirt.

with a little thing for your hand/pocket to take the photos.  like i say, amazing.

and its real. and  its only £29.99!  Buy them HERE

Thirteen-year-old Rebecca Black used $4,000 of her parents’ money to make a video of her song “Friday” and posted it on YouTube in February.

More than 86 million views later, the California teen has landed an album contract, a “Tonight Show” appearance, and spots on the Billboard and UK pop charts — not to mention her own ring tone.

Not bad for a critically panned song dubbed by millions as “the worst of all time.”

Great article about the social media explosions of viral videos used to help so called “normal” into celebrity status in a matter of hours.  Some of the stats are a bit scary like this:

“According to statistics from the company’s Viral Video Chart site, in the month of May 2010, the top 200 videos were shared nearly 32 million times across Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere; by the end of last month, the figure for monthly sharing of the 200 most popular videos rose to a just more than 68 million — an increase of 36,181,451 over 10 months ago”

 

So, basically it can make or break a company by getting a great video around the interweb purely by having something a bit mental and different in the video, which is mental when you think about how many people are actually actively sharing these videos all over the World every second of the day.

Our video, of a dancing rabbit with a shock shake tshirt whilst shooting a Tshirt cannon at Wembley and accidentally falling over and firing a shot at man in a hat, will be out soon.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, both 24, will help design T-shirts for StyleMint, an online recommendation/subscription site set to launch this July

The Olsen Twins never quit! The mega rich teen child stars think its now ok to launch a Tshirt range – but not just any Tshirts – oh no, you have to register with an email address to then answer a series of questions for the site, StyleMint.com, to then choose the Tshiirts that are right for you.

It is to be based on the successful site JewelMint.com where you personalise your own mini online shop kind of profile page thing and then you get recommendations of jewellery that match your style and then, and only then, are you lucky enough to decide if you want to buy it.  For some reason it seems to work – it must be because its been made by a co-founder of Myspace.

And you know when your face gets printed on a D&G tee, you’ve made it as a pop icon.

Recently Elvis, Steve McQueen, James Dean and Bruce Springsteen have all made their way onto the luxury Italian label’s eye-catching designs, and this soft white vest contains an image of Johnny taken from Nineties teen movie Cry Baby.

Wow. so you only make it when your face is on a tshirt.  Thats fine, but seeing as it costs about a pound to buy a transfer to iron onto any tshirt nowadays, i struggle to understand how a major fashion company like D&G can get away with putting celebrity faces onto their tshirts?!
