Looks like this the day of reporting W+K offices Christmas things. After Amsterdam, now it's London turn with their Tweets of Snow. Tweet something with the word "snow" in it and your message will be transformed into a snowflake for the model of the street where the agency is located.
A misterious character is looking for the world's best bartender in this series of beautiful short-films from Bacardi, True Originals. Here is the second one, "The Hummingbird", check the previous link to see updates and more content.
Not so long ago, it was so complicated to get a short film done. Not anymore with tools such as the iPhone4, so if you have one and while you get your antenna fixed, why not giving it a try at creating something that could be awarded at the iOscars?
Marca.com provides an original interactive calendar for the World Cup.
It's nice, dynamic and ergonomic. It remains intuitive, you get access to all the information in one screen. This wheel is a good work of infographics.
Using digital media is a good way of reliving historic events from the past. Last year it was all about the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing, with outstanding projects such as We chose the moon.
But last year it was also the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and that is how it was created the Go Beyond Borders Project, an initiative of Heimat Berlin and CNN International in conjunction with Berlin Tape Artist El Bocho.
This action done by Jung von Matt Berlin is simply wonderful, involving a film audience inside the film through a cell phone, so brilliant and engaging:
I had mixed feelings when i finished my visit to this site this morning, because in the end i was asked to pay USD 2$ (i was willing to) to continue the story but i couldn't because i don't have an american iTunes Store account (mine is from Spain), so i felt really frustrated.
On the other side, i thought about the fact that i had happily spent the previous 15 minutes browsing this violent yet funny interactive movie called Bank Run that tells the story of Evan, a financial analyst that gets involved in a scam organized by the company he works for, his girlfriend kidnapped and, in general, all the film cliches from movies where the main character has to escape from something and not knowing why.
Really well done and with little interactions that breaks the linearity of the story without becoming a "game" itself, this project from Silk Tricky is definitely worth the 15 minutes i spent being there. Go take a look, and the story continues on iPhone, hope you let me know how it ends! :)
I love the way Herraiz Soto & Co transforms every work into a dreamy and enjoyable experience, as they did, for instance, for Labuat or Camper earlier this year. Being copywriting one of their strongest virtues, now they're coming up with a sweet tool developed to reinvindicate the joy of writing, a sweet text editor called Ommwriter, go check it out and play with it for a while (sadly, only for Mac 'til this moment)
Insanely insightful. This presentation from Google, describing several cases of succesful and creatives uses of their platform is awesome. A must for everybody with a bit of a techie, creative, planner or whatever. And I miss some uses that Iain once suggested...
