‘Monster For President’ App
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m advising a startup called RipplFX that adapts all kinds of books into iPad and iPhone apps.
We recently released a great parody called ‘Monster for President,’ from author Hal Pollock. It takes aim at the political process and elections with the headline “Politicians May Behave Like Monsters, But What If They Were Monsters?” It is very humorous and has beautiful illustrations by Anthony Parisi, which we animated in comic book layout form.
I also liked the fact we used a real movie trailer VO artist, Andrew Dawson, in the video promo.
It is an interesting marketing challenge as it is a definite PG13 rating since it has some mild sexual innuendo. However, it’s presented like a kid’s book – and that’s part of the satire.
We’ll see how it goes as we attempt to get traction over the next few months.
