“Baby in the sky”: a stunning new film made by Les Bonzoms specially for the Born HIV Free campaign attracts more than 11 million viewers on dedicated YouTube channel

 

Geneva, 6 July 2010 – The YouTube channel dedicated to The Global Fund’s Born HIV Free campaign which was launched seven weeks ago, has already been seen by more than 11 million viewers. The channel features an exceptional animation film called “Baby in the Sky”, created by the design team Les Bonzoms and with music of Amy Winehouse. Euronews, the international news channel, joins the campaign by also featuring the video until October.

 

“The purpose of the Born HIV Free campaign is to encourage millions of people to support The Global Fund so we can finally put an end to the tragedy of 430,000 babies being born HIV-positive every year, when we have the means and the expertise to prevent this.” says Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Global Ambassador for the protection of mothers and children against AIDS. “Hopefully this beautiful film will reach a wide audience because of its creative ingenuity, and inspire millions of people to support The Global Fund so we can finally put an end to this terrible injustice.”

 

“Baby in the Sky” is a highly creative and imaginative animated film that conveys the beauty of life ahead for an unborn child. The film artistically portrays an imaginary journey in a world full of adventurous landscapes and fantastic creatures. It ends with a call from Carla Bruni-Sarkozy for an HIV-free generation in which she says “Life is a beautiful journey. Don’t let AIDS kill it.”

 

The film owes its powerful soundtrack to multi-award winning and singer/songwriter artist Amy Winehouse, who offered the pro-bono use of her “Back to Black” song for the film.

 

“It was a question of finding a true resonance with the images in the film created by Bonzoms”, says musician / producer Julien Civange, who conceived the Born HIV Free campaign, about the use of Winehouse’s music. “We wanted to find a piece that was modern but also well known, something that carried the same sensibility as the film. The magic came with the soundtrack by Amy Winehouse, an artist that Carla considers one of the greatest and most talented of her generation and who was generous enough to participate in the campaign.”

 

The animation can be viewed on the Born HIV Free YouTube channel and will also be distributed through various social and mass media platforms during the course of the campaign.

 

Since June 20, Euronews, the international news channel, has been broadcasting “Baby in the Sky” on its network in 155 countries. The film is shown in 90-second slots an average of three times a day for the first month and then once a day thereafter. Broadcasting of the film will continue until 5 October 2010.

 

"All of us at Euronews are very proud to be associated with this initiative, which is supported by an incredible positive animated film" said Philippe Cayla, Chairman of the Executive Board of Euronews. "We are glad to open Euronews' influential and far-reaching network to such professionals and experts fighting to eradicate HIV transmission during pregnancy. We are mobilized to make a success of this campaign and we strongly believe that Euronews' viewers will be deeply moved and will want to participate in the Born HIV Free campaign," Mr Cayla added.

 

CNBC has also been broadcasting the video on its network in Europe, Middle East and Africa since the launch of the campaign.

 

Speaking about the distinctive nature of the “Baby in the Sky” project, Jack-Antoine Charlot, a designer from Les Bonzoms said: “It was necessary to stop playing with the notion of guilt as an incentive for people to act and instead to reinforce a sense of wanting to share and take part in something. In the case of mother-to-child HIV transmission, the medications already exist to stop it. The problem is one of mobilization.”

 

After the film, viewers are invited to show their support by signing their name on the campaign’s “virtual wall of support”, on the www.bornhivfree.org website. The campaign asks people - by the simple act of clicking a button - to register their support for the work of The Global Fund and for the elimination of mother to child transmission of HIV by 2015.

Sorry that I haven't posted anything new, or returned any comments for a while. I have been busy with work, training/racing and other stuff, but that hasn't stopped my passion for what I love the most......photography. I will be spending the next few weeks playing catch up, so please bear with me.

 

This self portrait was taken back in November 2008 after I decided to use up some face paint that I had originally purchased for someone else's photo shoot. You get some great skin textures using face paint, especially whilst frowning, which comes natural for me!

 

Technique : Two bare strobes fired at a white back drop. A 430Ex flash gun positioned on the left hand side of the subject fired into a silver umbrella, half power. A 580Ex flash gun positioned at the right hand side of the subject fired through a white umbrella, full power. Camera set to 1/60sec, f11, iso100.....this was tethered to a laptop and controlled via a mouse.

 

The bathroom was a complete mess afterwards as you can guess!!!

O compositor e principal vocalista dos Racionais MCs, Mano Brown, foi nascido e criado no Capão Redondo, periferia de São Paulo.

Um dos nomes mais importantes da música brasileira nos últimos anos, Brown elevou seus Racionais MCs ao status de mais importante conjunto de hip hop brasileiro, lançando álbuns já clássicos, como "Sobrevivendo no Inferno".

Nascida em Cuba e criada em Cabo Verde, a cantora Mayra Andrade hoje vive na França, onde lançou seu último álbum, "Stória, stória...". Sua conexão com a música brasileira vai além da língua portuguesa: influenciada por nomes como Elis Regina e Caetano Veloso, parte de seu trabalho mais recente também foi gravada no Brasil. Recombinando referências multiculturais, Mayra atingiu um som bastante individual, mas ao mesmo tempo, familiar a todos nós latinos.

Diretora de teatro e cinema, Bia Lessa foi responsável pela direção de shows de Maria Bethânia como “Brasileirinho”, “Tempo tempo tempo tempo” e “Dentro do mar tem rio”. Dirigiu ainda peças como “As três irmãs” (Tchecov), “Medéia” (de Eurípides, protagonizada por Renata Sorrah), dentre outros espetáculos de sucesso. Flora Sussekind define seu método como “um pensamento que deve ser 'planar', que deve 'olhar para a vida', incluindo 'a perspectiva dos lados', sempre 'mais possibilidades' sem, porem, se deixar acomodar, de modo exclusivo, em nenhuma delas”. Bia apresenta, nos três dias do Back2Black Festival, sua instalação inédita “Somos todos africanos. Somos todos humanos. Back to black.”

Uma das mais notórias cantoras na história da música latino-americana, Omara foi redescoberta pelo resto do mundo no documentário do cineasta Wim Wenders, "Buena Vista Social Club" - que resgatou vários e geniais artistas cubanos relegados ao ostracismo. Durante os anos 50, a cantora teve breve sucesso nos Estados Unidos gravando ao lado de Nat King Cole com o Quarteto D'Aida, do qual fazia parte. Em carreira solo, apresentou-se diversas vezes na Europa e Estados Unidos, combinando de forma única a música cubana e o jazz. Ativista de forte preocupação social, Omara Portuondo gravou canções em que saúda o líder chileno Salvador Allende e o mito socialista Che Guevara. Sua carreira ganhou nova força com o sucesso de "Buena Vista", e desde então a artista já lançou mais de 10 novos álbuns, incluindo um em dueto com a cantora brasileira Maria Bethânia.
