2008-10-05T01:19:22+00:00 The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of mobile phones, for Nokia's N96. Lots of linking seamless video - feels akin to the interface of film DVD with menus moving you from scene to scene. Its well done and edited to move with you as you explore the phones features. Nice change - but lacks content to drive consumers back. You can also opt to use your webcam… 182 0 3 2 0 0 2010-03-10T07:12:22+00:00 446 758 http://www.facethetask.com Nike Football 2008-05-01T10:11:35+00:00 Perhaps the greatest football ad ever made? Watching from the perspective of the player may not be a first, but this is done so perfectly and with an amazing array of star players that you can't help but be utterly lost for around 3 minutes. Anyone who'd ever played football will undoubtedly love this, but i think non-footballers will be impressed too. I could watch this over and over again. 151 0 Director - Guy Richie 1 1 0 0 2010-03-09T16:29:42+00:00 13 606 http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikefootball/en__EMEA/index.html HBO NY 2008-04-08T10:22:23+00:00 I've been meaning to post this for months. It won at the Design Week Awards this year and is really rather special. I'm still not too sure what it's all about, as its navigation is quite 'dense' and there is a lot going on, nor am I sure how it links to the broadcast aspect (OK, I haven't spent enough time delving into it), but I love the concept, the dark aesthetic, the implicit reference to Hitchcock's 'Rear Window', the integration of video into the web page, the density of detail... Sadly I think its no longer 'current' but some exploration will reward on many levels anyway. By way of introduction, here's what it says about it on the accompanying blog 'The story gets deeper': "The HBO Voyeur Project is a collection of multi-media stories that HBO has built around the theme of voyeurism. 'See what people do when they think no one is Watching' is the tagline that they have used to describe the experience that starts in the streets of New York City, behind the countless windows that we pass everyday. It comes together in a silent film that will be projected on the side of a building, and extends to the HBO channel, HBO on Demand, and online at HBOVoyeur.com. There are also “artifacts” of the characters everywhere, pieces of story which have been sprinkled around the web and in the real world to heighten the experience for those who like to get involved." Take a look... 143 0 2 2 1 0 2010-03-09T20:03:36+00:00 21 778 http://www.hbovoyeur.com BBC 2008-04-01T09:43:19+00:00 Well, not a lot to say really- classic BBC sense of humour all wrapped up in a lovely bit of animation, worth a watch and then send it on to your friends.

I'm not making any money out it either, if thats what you're thinking. The recently, fully released BBC iPlayer is another one of those online things that justifies the licence fee. Simple, effective and pleasant on the eye (in a typically 2.0 kind of way) there's not much to fault about the iPlayer. OK so the name's a bit trendy, and the buttons around the side are a bit too big, but it works and if you've got a quick connection to the internet its a good way to catch the things you missed. i suspect it will take some time for this to 'bed in' and hopefully there'll be some kind of download option for Mac users in the future, but not too bad all in all. 127 0 2 1 2 0 2010-03-09T00:49:15+00:00 13 627 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer Smirnoff Vodka 2007-07-20T06:18:39+00:00 An amazing bit of 3d animation, very flowing and engaging. Who cares if this is more 3D animation for the sake of 3D animation, it looks great. You'll find a link to the full video at www.smirnoff.com which it self is a good piece of design work, and has a nice consistent feel with the tv ad. 74 0 2 0 0 0 2010-03-09T17:26:29+00:00 13 912 http://www.smirnoff.com Sony 2007-02-07T05:12:07+00:00 I love the way that the amazing displays of colour in this advert are apparently real paint. It makes an interesting change from the common trend of being tricked into thinking something is real, and then being told it is digital. Maybe it's a double bluff though... 43 0 3 0 0 0 2010-03-10T02:56:33+00:00 20 810 http://www.bravia-advert.com/
