More to Me than My HIV
(original Pure Advocacy™ campaign artwork by Michael Brown)
We are someones child
We are someones brother or sister
We are someones soul mate
We are someones forever friend
We are someones knowledge
We are someones truth
We are also someones worst fear........
There is more to me than my HIV
Project Headshot Clinic 2010
Today is December 1 and before I don't really know that this is a very special day to everyone else. Years past and I spent this particular day either inside an office workspace or at home (weekend) watching DVDs, reading graphic novels, playing video games or simply slacking on my bed all day catching a long sleep. But not until I first participated on Project Headshot Clinic.To those who are not familiar with it, Project Headshot Clinic (HSC) is a brand new concept that merges Profile photos online and Advertising as we see campaigns, advertisements, and advocacies may easily be conveyed through our unique digitized headshots, online profile photos can be potential online billboards. Its major components are: registration, mass shooting, and mass uploading on social network web sites (as profile photo), which make HSC an effective and creative marketing tool. HSC creates curiosity and impact to those who are not yet aware or part of it. In a nutshell HSC is all about viral Marketing.
The project is spearheaded by Niccolo Cosme, one of the country's best fashion and concept photographer. Together with his team they partnered with various organization who needs a brand new way on telling people what they want.
Its been a year since my first participation on Headshot Clinic and I first experience it with One Youth. Then from that campaign it led me to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) MOVE Campaign. It was a very brief moment that I don't even care about what really is the meaning of the project. And I hate to admit it, it takes me a year to finally realize the essence of this advocacy.
For almost 3 years, HSC became the bridge of people which are used as an outlet of information to further strengthen the awareness on HIV and AIDS among people. People may say that they already know all they need to know about this condition (not a disease) but still everyday the number of HIV victims grow. Before, we become AWARE and some people practically became scared of it then people like Niccolo and others start to MOVE forward with their effort to awaken the dying advocacy against HIV and AIDS and finally its time to ACT to make all this visions come into fruition.

So today let as all give a fraction of our time.
Celebrate December 1 as a day of liberation.
Liberation from Prejudice, Ignorance and Fear.
Happy World AIDS Day, everyone.
The Disneyland Paris Frontierland Stunt Show that never was
Recently, i found on the excellent Mark Taft Insights and Sounds web site this rendering below. It's labelled "EDL - for Euro Disneyland which means that this concept-art was done in the early 90's when the park was still called by this name. And it shows the facade of a stunt show arena envisioned for DLP's Frontierland - a "western" stunt show, of course.
In his article Mark was wondering "How seriously was a stunt show for Frontierland considered?" and hoped that i may have the answer as i am the one who wrote the book about the park.
Unfortunately, Mark's article was posted in March 2008 and i am a little bit late for the answer! However, i asked Jeff Burke who was Frontierland's show-producer if he ever heard about this project. And here is his answer:
"I don't recognize this specific illustration, but there were discussions, after the Park had opened in 1992, to build a stunt show arena where the Chapparal Stage now stands. The discussions of Frontierland's own stunt showplace ended when operations said it would be too much of a repetition of the "Buffalo Bill Wild West Show" in Downtown Disney."
Another former imagineer friend sent to me these additionnal infos: "There were a number of discussions concerning a live western show in Frontierland, including a small rodeo which was not done due to the strict animal protection laws in France. This is why the animals in the original petting zoo were moved behind a fence after opening so that the guests could only pet an animal when it approached the guest on its own.
As to the stunt show, this was developed under the Entertainment department on their own rather than Imagineering which was probably why it was not well known. An outside consultant was brought in and I seem to remember a model might also have been done. It was essentially a comic gun fight with exploding buildings and such but, as Jeff said, it was cancelled because of the clash with the Buffalo Bill show.
After that, the Chaparral stage came into existence to house any number of live entertainment shows."
So, there we have the answer about this mysterious rendering. The park DID envisioned a stunt show in Frontierland, but they finally cancelled it because of the Disney Village dinner show - translate: if we have a stunt show in Frontierland, people won't come - and pay - for the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show.
Although i must admit there is a kind of logic in their decision, i think it's a pity that a "western" stunt show don't exist in Frontierland instead of the Chapparal Stage. A western stunt show is a classic in theme parks - think about the Universal's Wild Wild West stunt show - and it would have give more life in the back of Frontierland...
And you, what do you think about this Frontierland stunt show that never was?
