Dolce & Gabbana - Marie Claire cover

This months edition of Marie Claire has an in-bilt TV commercial in the cover wrap by Dolce and Gabbana. They have placed a small screen within the pages and when you open the cover (like one of those annoying greeting cards with sound when you open them) the film plays - close it and open it again and it re-sets itself.

I believe this is a subscribers-only edition as my wife had to go and collect it at the post office and it was not in the usual plastic sleeve.

Absolute Radio

It's all live now so I can blog about it. For the Euro 2012 games we did some digital and print outdoor and online for Absolute Radio's Rock 'n' Roll football show. We had Ian Wright crowdsurfing over fans (he was in a safety harness). It was a brilliant shoot and loads of fun, with even some of us from Albion getting involved in the action.
The D6 is animated with stop-frame images of Ian moving across the screen, the same animation was used in the MPU's. The games are coded into the action script file to appear on the screen when they are playing with 'Listen live now' and 'Live commentary' when the games are not on.
The photographer was Gary Salter who also did the previous Faces for Radio campaign for Absolute.
Here are the results:

(I asked the woman, nicely, to move but she would not.)

Doggelganger

This great site from Colenso BBDO in New Zealand, its been around for a few months I think. Upload an image of yourself (or take one with your webcam) and the Doggelganger site will scan the database of abandoned dogs and based on your facial features, and comes back with a match. Goes with the old saying that dogs look like their owners. Client: Pedigree.

GOAB - then end of TV? Or a new begining?

GOAB. A TV Experience Concept from Syzygy on Vimeo.

I heard about GOAB today, not quite sure what I think about it; it's exciting but also a little scary - 'What if... your remote control knows you? And your social network?'

Don't get me wrong, I love this stuff, I just worry about privacy. How much of me is in the internet? Can I control it?

Toyota multi touch wall

Toyota Vision Multi-Touch Wall Case Study from JUXT Interactive on Vimeo.

This was at the North American International Auto Show this year, it's something else I have found on theFWA site, it's really a brilliant place to keep up with what you can do online and with digital technology.

Kijjaa online game

Now this is cool. Click on this link, go to the site, download the app from the appstore (not a free app unfortunately) and then enter the code on the website screen into your iPhone.
Then you have a very simple but addictive video game which you control from your iPhone - shooting and moving, tilting the iPhone, swerving side to side...Amazing. No idea how this works technically but I am going to find out!

Clever countdown

This is really sweet, it's probably been going on all month but I only saw it today on Twitter. It's Adam&Eve and they have a Christmas Countdown.
Happy Christmas everyone!

Irn Bru Can-Can

A fun for 10 minutes site, you can build your own character and they Can-Can along the bottom of the screen. I made my own little Aussie one. Irn Bru are looking to break the world record for the worlds largest Can-Can, the site was built by the Leith Agency.

Bottled Water Causes Blindness in Puppies

This is quite basic and entertaining for a few seconds. It is a site built to get the message over that bottled water is very bad for the environment and the idea is based on 'all bottled water companies lie so why can't we?'
Check out the actual What's tappening site. Unfortunately it looks like you can only order their multi-use bottles if you are in the US.

Skittles Twitters

The new Skittles website 'Interweb the rainbow', puts all its social media brand channels together in one central location.
The homepage has been replaced with a live Twitter feed. The site also links to the Skittles Facebook page and youtube channel.

It seems it's been skittled! see the brand republic article.

The first website where nothing happens

If you detect something happening here it's probably a bug... simple and clever. I like the loading..
