#TickTock7 Reveals Relaunch of Capitol.PN and D.I.P.s

*NEW* Victors in Training clip!

Check out your district's productivity data

Looks like another beautiful partly cloudy day in The Capitol.

BIG NEWS! TheCapitol.PN relaunched today as part of the #TickTock7 moment, and it is mighty impressive. You can check everything from your new D.I.P to the weather in your district. It really is quite an upgrade from the original Capitol PN, but then again it's Catching Fire so everything is bigger and better this time around.

The coolest things we found were an extended clip from the film of the victors training (CLICK HERE TO SEE! IT'S AWESOME!) and a new official Peacekeeper twitter with the bio "It is our duty to maintain the peace within our glorious capitol. To be a citizen of Panem is to respect the law." YIKES!!

Cover Girl: Catching Fire

You can expect CoverGirl Catching Fire products to hit shelves because Lionsgate has just launched a partnership with CoverGirl. Yes, we acknowledge the irony here but for the first movie they did release a line of Hunger Games China Glaze nail polish so we are really not surprised. But don't get us wrong, we still sought out as many THG nail polishes as we could get our hands on and odds are we'll do the same with CoverGirl.

Check out the press release below:

COVERGIRL ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE NEW BEAUTY PARTNERSHIP WITH    LIONSGATE’S “THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE”

COVERGIRL creates striking new CAPITOL COLLECTION beauty campaign inspired by the film 

HUNT VALLEY, MD, May 17, 2013 -- Today, COVERGIRL announced its first-ever major movie sponsorship of Lionsgate’s highly anticipated The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, scheduled for release in North American theaters on November 22, 2013. COVERGIRL will launch a first-of-its-kind creative advertising campaign inspired by the film, featuring new products from the brand’s upcoming Capitol Collection from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, to be announced at a later date.   

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson lead an all-star cast in the second installment of The Hunger Games franchise, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The trailer, which debuted last month, has been viewed over 25 million times on YouTube. The film promises to illustrate the exquisite splendor in the world of the Capitol in rich detail, and the film’s makeup department used COVERGIRL products on set to create the film’s luxurious, high couture looks. 

"With The Hunger Games: Catching Fire partnership, we wanted to redefine cosmetics’ relationship to film with a fantasy-meets-reality beauty experience," said Esi Eggleston Bracey, VP and General Manager, Global P&G Cosmetics. "The film inspired COVERGIRL campaign coming out this fall truly will bring beauty transformation to life in an aspirational, dramatic fashion.  All of us at COVERGIRL were captivated by Suzanne Collins’ novels and the first film, so we’re thrilled to collaborate with Lionsgate on such a bold beauty partnership with the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.”
“We are excited to announce COVERGIRL as the exclusive makeup partner for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” said Paula Kupfer, Lionsgate’s Vice President of Promotions and Consumer Products. “The exquisite beauty and style in the world of the Capitol is a focal point of this film. Partnering with an innovative brand like COVERGIRL to create an additional layer of beauty storytelling and inspiration for the fans is new territory that we’re delighted to explore.”

Capitol Party To Be Filmed at Swan House in Atlanta

More Catching Fire locations! The Swan House in Atlanta is apparently set to film a Capitol party scene:

Thanks to one of our tipsters we’ve now learned the Swan House will be used for a party scene for The Capitol on Sept 26, 27, 28. They also told us the shoot will include some custom-made costumes for the party goers, including a suit made out of bricks.
There was also a casting call posted last week for dancers who can waltz which would make sense for an elaborate party scene.

According to the home’s website, it is “an elegant, classically styled mansion built in 1928 for the Edward H. Inman family, heirs to a cotton brokerage fortune.” The website also notes the historic mansion will be closed from September 17 – 28.

Capitol Tour: The Capitol Welcomes You!

TheCapitolTour.pn is open! You arrive in the train station where tribute trains are set to arrive, and a hologram Capitol lady welcomes you and is assures you how honored you must feel to be there! By exploring the guide, you have access to just about anything official The Hunger Games is set to release or have released already.

The Capitol tour, it seems, is just what it sounds like. Currently you can explore the Control Room and the Avenue of the Tributes. More tour stops will be released later. Check out our screengrabs!

The Capitol Ads

Are these ads real? No one seems to know, but whatever the case they are indeed awesome! Someone found these somewhere on the official Hunger Games site. We are extremely excited about this even if they're not real because the last time Courtney was on the HG Fireside Chat, she predicted there might be Capitol commercials in the movie! Check out the ads in their full MOVING glory under the cut.

We've also gotten word that these ads are appearing on different sites! Check it out:

Pretty nifty! Check out the full moving ads under the cut...

Look what was briefly on CapitolCouture.PN before we were locked out again ("#lookyourbest" does not work):


It's back up again!

I don't know about you guys, but we're freaking out here over at Welcome to District 12 Headquarters.

Check Out One of the Capitol Wigs From The Film!

This is just TOO COOL. This image showed up on ModernSalon.com along with some tidbits about the natures and challenges of coming up with these looks for the Capitol citizens:

In vivid contrast to the mousy hue of Katniss, the citizens of the Capitol were described to Petenbrink as “sophisticated, couture and edgy.” Collaborating with Costume Designer Judianna Makovsky and Hair Department Head Linda Flowers, she was challenged to create unique color designs for each of the 500 extras, using brights and pastels.

“When you work with these colors, it’s a challenge to make them look trendsetting and visionary and not clown-like,” Cherry says. Once again, Joico offered the solution with the pure, vivid clear tones of products like Vero K-PAK Color Intensity. As a result, Petenbrink predicts that several of the color designs will strongly influence trends once the film opens.

TheCapitol.pn District 4 D.I.P.s Have Been Released!

I haven't posted much about TheCapitol.pn, but to be honest it really didn't seem like I needed to. Hunger Games fans are flocking to TheCapitol.pn like crazy! I was put in District 4 (YES, FINNICK) and was DYING to know what my occupation would be. SHIP CAPTAIN! YA HAR!

So people keep expediting those DIPs, but really it's only a matter of days before everyone earns theirs, so no worries! Districts 1, 8, 10, and 11 are the only ones left, so the longest you'll have to wait for your district is about 4 days. Looks like District 11 may get theirs tomorrow! I'm really interested to see all the district seals, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? I think that's the burning question we've all been answering ourselves ever since TheCapitol.pn came into our lives.

I guess we will just have to wait and see...

THECAPITOL.PN Has Launched!

The animation for this really is incredible. They have some sizing issues that need to be worked out, and the twitter option is a little finnicky but it's up and running! If the twitter option doesn't work, just keep trying.

As you can see I scored District Four! I'll be interested to see how PanemOctober and TheCapitol.PN cohabitate.

Let The Viral Games Begin!

I recieved a text today informing me that an email would be appearing in my mailbox from the mayor of my district. Things are certainly moving when it comes to #panemoctober:

 

A toolbar has appeared! It also seems The Gamemakers have stopped making threats to us on Tumblr and leaving codes on their website. They must be far too busy planning the games and oppressing the citizens of Panem, I guess. 

That's not all in the news of Hunger Games viral campaigns, it looks like an official Hunger Games viral campaign has begun. If you haven't already check out: http://www.thecapitol.pn/

When it first launched, I could not tell what it was. Just weird static and mechanical noises. Now we can see that slowly but surely, the Capitol seal is coming into view.

At DWTC, they have posted a list of what the Capitol is up to: Facebook and Twitter pages for all the districts.  

So what does this mean for us? Will they too have a way to sign up for tesserae? Whether they are or not, let's remember that they are the enemy and WE MUST REMAIN UNITED AMONG THE DISTRICTS!
