¡Hola a todos!
Panasonic, proveedor oficial de la tecnología usada en los juegos olímpicos de Londres 2012 (y haciéndolo desde Barcelona 1992), lanzó una amplia campaña publicitaria dentro de la cual se lanzó una App llamada "Flag tags" con la cual te podías pintar tu cara virtualmente.
He aquí, ver un vídeo promocional de la App que, a día de hoy, ya no está disponible:
Pero la cuestión que realmente quiero que ocupe esta entrada de blog no es dar promoción ni a Panasonic ni a su app (aunque pueda parecerlo) sino dar a conocer la genial campaña que efectuaron en un instituto de secundaria británico en donde pintaron la cara de 300 alumnos de los colores de la bandera británica para luego elaborar una "Union Jack" humana. Podéis verlo en el siguiente vídeo:
En mi opinión, no le veo demasiado sentido a que pinten la cara de los alumnos si luego para tomar la foto aparecen expuestas partes del cuerpo como brazos y piernas sin pintar y lucen pantalones negros. Eso disminuye el efecto espectacular que se pretende conseguir. Sin embargo, la iniciativa encuentro que está genial: es muy lucida y colorista y realmente es una excelente manera de apoyar a la nación. Ojalá ésto se hiciera en muchas más escuelas a nivel internacional ya que es una experiencia educativa diferente en la que, primando la diversión y todos a una, se logra un gran objetivo común que, además, tiene su reconocimiento en los medios de comunicación.
Por otro lado, Panasonic hizo promoción de su App en el centro comercial Lakeside. Lo bueno es que no sólo ofrecieron flag facepainting virtual sino también real para todo aquél que lo quisiera. Dejo el enlace en la parte en inglés del post.
Os espero en la siguiente entrada de la sección, con más noticias y actualidad acerca del flag facepainting.
Hi everyone!
Panasonic was the official technology provider of the 2012 Olympics (and it has been providing its services to the event since Barcelona 1992) and in order to promote the games, the brand released a wide promotional campaign in which an App for virtual flag facepainting called "Flag tags" was launched (not available anymore):
Above, in the Spanish section, you can watch a promotional video of the App. Below these lines, you can watch the promotional event that took place in Lakeside shopping centre where people could paint their face virtually and for real:

But the purpose of this blog entry is neither giving propaganda of Panasonic nor promoting its App but to let you know about the super-cool campaign they led in a British school where 300 students got their face painted in red, blue or red in order to make a big human design of the Union Jack flag and bring the App from online to on-ground.
The video can be seen above in the Spanish part of this entry (it has been embedded from the Vimeo platform) but also right below, embedded from YouTube:
In my opinion, I see no point that the boys and girls get a facepaint if afterwards, the moment of the picture taking, non-painted parts of the body such as arms and legs are exposed. Wearing them all black shorts and white shoes doesn't help much. It's a pity because by having worn the correct clothes and painting all the exposed parts, the obtainted effect would have been even more colourful and spectacular.
Nevertheless, this is a brilliant idea to give support to the nation and it would be great if more schools did this. In my opinion, this is is a brilliant educational experience where everyone is united to achieve a common goal, having fun, and which, furthermore, has been recognised by the press as it can be seen in this photograph from the Telegraph.co.uk
Well and this is all.
