Selected quotes from Conan's talk with Anderson Cooper "What is this set? Everything's white and minimalist. I feel like I'm on the set of French talk show." "I like it best companies give me a lot of money upfront, with no expectations, and then don't check back to see what the impact was to their business" "To be fair we're not entirely sure what this event is. There's this guy in shorts and I'm thinking why did I dress up?" (Anderson) "Advertisers are scum. They need to be told what to do and how to do it." Notable moment: Conan creepily staring down the French MC as he walked offstage.
Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, on stage with MoFilm and Chevrolet to talk about the democratization of creativity. Jimmy talked about how before Wikipedia he started a very similar project called Newpedia, but the community was much more controlled and walled off, and it failed. MoFilm allows brands to give their brief to an online community of artists, filmmakers, creatives - anyone - to crowdsource the creative development process. Essentially a massive video submission contest. Chevrolet has been a large supporter of this concept - in 2012 they hosted a contest where the winning video received $25,000 and was played in the Superbowl. Check out the winning ad here: http://youtu.be/sjDNxmn3bS0 During yesterday's speech, MoFilm and Chevy announced a new contest where the winner's film will be played at this year's Academy Awards - the ultimate prize for any budding young film maker.
