For everyone that missed the tutorial presentation/interactive pitch on the game ‘Prophecy Busters’, I’ve linked a few key references.

Dark Knight - Viral Marketing Campaign http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpuC7HhCPWA

This video provides a recap of the viral marketing campaign that swept across America in the build up to the release of the Dark Knight (Batman 2). I found it quite intriguing just how much design and effort is placed by the movie making industry into the marketing of certain films. Some of them take on a life of their own, which is obviously reflected in their ticket sales. It would be interesting to see if Australian films can successfully implement this plan of attack with a much smaller population.

Cloverfeild: A Viral Guide http://au.movies.ign.com/articles/845/845649p1.html

An enjoyable article to read, especially if you’ve seen the film. The back-stories to films can become successful prequels however with the exponential growth of the Internet, anxious fans have the medium to conduct their own research.

Hopi Prophecies http://www.crystalinks.com/hopi2.html

The basis for case 1 of the interactive online game. This overall website is a goldmine for all those interested in research areas such as ancient/lost civilisations, conspiracies, UFOs, prophecies and sacred places. I know all about the associated controversy/debates in some of these fields but the information is out there for you to conclude your own opinions.

Do you know what will happen in 2012? http://www.2012officialcountdown.com

This is actually an advertisement for related products. Just browse through it and you will get the sense of what is going on. It’s worth mentioning that there is a growing number of 2012 theory websites all of which are certain of our demise in the near future. I hope that the hype for this event really takes off and the hysteria becomes contagious. The year 2012 should be a really enjoyable experience for everyone.
