Where's your theater located, Wasabi? Cause I think it would make most sense to hit up metro areas like NY or LA first. They have slide-show ads for local businesses before most movies here. I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to get one of those.

the one i work at is showplace 16 in Naperville, Illinois, but the company is Kerasotes.. the only non mid-west state that we're in is California, and New Jersey.

and definetly go for any theater that does it. i was simply suggesting a vessel.

No, there was no M6 footage. Actually, no footage at all. It was all stills. However there may have been a few screen caps from M6 footage. It was mostly Alizée’s promo pics, along with a few fan photos. But there was one that I suspect might be a problem. I had the FHM magazine cover photo. Unfortunately, I used the one that someone photoshopped to remove the logo. It’s normally my rule not to use stuff like that, but it must have slipped my mind when I put it in the video.

Anyways, I’m not concerned about any legal action. It’s just the fact that it was removed without giving me an opportunity to respond to the accusation. I see filesharing as the main danger in copyright infringement and I would agree that fan-made videos and video excerpts from concerts and shows only help to promote artists. I surely would not encourage anyone to stop making them or using them to promote their favorite artist.

I can’t tell you how much money I’ve spent on artists that I discovered because this stuff is out there. The fact that I’m here and a fan of Alizée is a perfect example.

The theater is a good idea. Yeah buying slides before a movie might work. But if the movie is good, who's going to remember an AD they saw?

"Oh the movie was good....BUT THERE WAS THIS AD!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!" I don't see it, sorry.

well.. it sorta works like any other ad.
i mean, when you drive on the high way, you see the billboards, but its not like you're gonna arrive at six flags and go "ZOMG! I SAW THE MOST AMAZING BILLBOARD SIGN!"

its... just advertisement.

Advertisement isn't supposed to make you buy the product just by itself; when was the last time you bought a product purely based on a commercial or billboard you saw? It works with the subconcious; i.e you'll see the most stunning woman you've ever seen on a billboard or on a theater ad (

) and you see the album in the store or online and you'll go "Hey, might as well check it out". It's very hard to make an advertisement that moves products purely by itself, but if you have an ad and then a product readily available then it works. I don't think advertising would be a huge problem (I know I'd be willing to donate towards one), but the main problem would be making something Alizée oriented purchasable without one actively searching Amazon for it.

We could, but people wouldn't know who they're looking at. Is she a singer? Actress? Model? Depending on the image, it might not be easy to tell. Another thing, her name is unusual and i've notice people tend to forget it. My family butchers her name when teasing me about how much i like her.

Louisiana Has A French Population, Maybe We Should Put A Push On Getting Her Music Played Here. Vive Les Francaise En Louisiana.

Down in the swamps, there are quite a few french speakers, but i don't know if Alizee's music would resonate with these people. Zydeco and cajun music is popular here, a far far cry from Alizee's brand of pop.
