Monet

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Beautiful site promoting a historic Monet exhibition at the Grand Palais, Paris in 2010. The site aims to bring Monet’s paintings to life, there is an interactive journey through Monet’s life and a gallery with his paintings. Great functionality when zooming into the paintings – fantastic attention to detail. I love the gallery section and the general look and feel – bright colours on canvas – esque backgrounds, lovely transitions, well integrated video – all wrapped up in a smart well designed interface.

The Wilderness Downtown

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Interactive music video using the latest HTML 5 effects. Another great interactive music video for ‘The Wilderness Downtown’ by Arcade Fire, which also acts as a showcase for Google’s browser Chrome. You enter your home town on the start screen and the music video plays whilst pop-up windows open displaying streetview and google maps follwing the running character in the music video – all as if the character is actually there in the scene. New events happen as the music plays all in time with the music. An interesting way to show a video and involve the audience into the emotional side of the song – all digitally – very creative.
