Brilliant Marketing & Stock Photography
Super Stock Photos
Vince Vaughn’s latest movie Unfinished Business, which comes out in March and Twentieth Century Fox teamed up with iStock by Getty Images to produce a bunch of prototypical stock images using what I thought was the cast of the movie.
It was brilliant! If you’ve ever gone looking for business type stock images you will find page upon page of this dreck. And they were actually selling (giving away actually) the images on iStock for editorial use. THey had (I supposed) actually spent a day recreating some of the worst photography out there. I suppose this isn’t as clever to those of you who have never used stock but to me it was enough to make me want to rush out and see the movie to see what other bears they were going to poke
But, unfortunately for me, it turns out they didn’t actually shoot the images, rather just photoshopped the star’s faces onto existing images. (click on the images to see the originals)
Major bummer. Still it was pretty damn clever. I didn’t pay to go see the movie though; I was just that disappointed.
