Kony 2012: Invisible Children CEO Addresses Criticism [youtube= Invisible Children, the nonprofit behind the viral “Kony 2012” documentary, released another video Monday. But this one doesn’t portray the atrocities committed by a brutal Ugandan warlord — it responds to mounting criticism of the campaign and the group’s overall strategy and approach. CEO Ben Keesey said the group released the new video to be “as transparent as possible.” (MORE: ‘Kony 2012’ Documentary Becomes Most Viral Video in History) Keesey begins by explaining the group’s three-tiered approach: create films with compelling narratives, promote international advocacy and run on-the-ground initiatives. He then moves on to combat some of the major criticisms, which have largely centered on the group’s funding and oversimplification of the issues, throwing in buzzwords that have popped up around the Internet, like slacktivism.

3D Generated Landscape Sculpture Illustrations of Timothy J. Reynolds I’ve been seeing Milwaukee-based Timothy J. Reynolds‘ mesmerising creations coming through Dribbble for a while now and am always refreshed and pleasantly surprised with the sophistication in which he makes these cool computer-sculpted fictional landscapes. Apart from being great examples of work by someone with a good eye for shape and colour, these get me excited about what can be done with 3D computer tools in the context of visual art and illustration. The series here is part of various experimentations Timothy is doing, that we can now learn some more about… What by way of experience/training have you had? I went to school for architecture. Moved over to Cinema 4D for a job about 2 years ago and absolutely love the software. How do you normally go about creating these particular works? I usually begin with a plane [or any other primitive] and just manually push and pull the points until I’m happy with an initial layout. Then start adding more details with other smaller shapes.
Kony 2012: what's the real story? | Politics Since Monday, more than 21m people have viewed this film – made by an American charity called Invisible Children – about the plight of children in Uganda at the hands of the warlord Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) guerilla group. His group is said to have abducted 60,000 children. With its slick Hollywood production values, the film has been an almost instant viral success, dominating Twitter worldwide and having one of the fastest ever take-offs on You Tube. We've reported on the video here: Kony stands accused of overseeing the systematic kidnapping of countless African children, brainwashing the boys into fighting for him, turning the girls into sex slaves and killing those who don't comply. But it has also attracted criticism: there are questions about the charity's funding, its targeting of US leaders instead of African leaders to instigate change, and accusations that it is failing to criticise the Ugandan government, with its poor human rights record.

In a blog post, Visible Measures found Kony outpaced other record-setting viral videos. For instance, the video featuring Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, hit 70 million views in six days. Old Spice’s “Responses” campaign didn’t hit 70 million until five months after it launched. Visible Measures got its figures by tracking not just the original Vimeo version of Kony, but also responses to the video. By March 8, three days after Kony went live, there were 200 such responses, which ran six minutes on average. Despite the rapid rise of Kony 2012, the video has brought a shower of criticism to Invisible Children, the organization behind it.

Pensato Capital Ugandans hit back at Kony 2012 campaign Updated Mon 12 Mar 2012, 1:29pm AEDT Ugandans have criticised the viral Kony2012 video, saying it is yet another neo-colonial campaign that portrays Africans as powerless to help themselves. The 30-minute film was produced by an American advocacy group and aims to raise awareness about wanted war criminal Joseph Kony, the head of the Lord's Resistance Army, and the plight of child soldiers in central Africa. It has been watched and passed on by tens of millions of viewers on YouTube, but has been criticised as simplistic and inaccurate. Kony left a path of destruction and mass murder for more than 20 years, but he is no longer in Uganda and has not been for six years. Writing on his blog, Ugandan journalist Angelo Izama said "to call the campaign a misrepresentation is an understatement". Another Ugandan journalist fighting back via social media is Rosebell Kagumire. Her video argues against what she calls yet another neo-colonial campaign aimed at saving hapless Africans.
Kony 2012 campaign gets support of Obama, others - BlogPost Posted at 04:34 PM ET, 03/08/2012 Mar 08, 2012 09:34 PM EST TheWashingtonPost An online film, part of a campaign aimed at bringing to justice Joseph Kony, the Ugandan leader of the violent, child-recruiting Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), has been popular like no other advocacy film in recent memory. The viral film now has 48 million views on YouTube and Vimeo — 35 million of which were in the past day alone. Auma Consolata, a former abductee of the Lord's Resistance Army when she was 17, bears the scars of her encounter with the rebels, who cut off her lips, nose and ears before she was able to escape back to her family. But just as the campaign has been criticized, so too have many come out in support of it. Kony 2012 may have gone viral in large part because celebrities initially came on board. By Wednesday and Thursday, the celebrity endorsements of the campaign were everywhere. They may be right. And on Thursday, President Obama reaffirmed support of that bill.
