Nice and simple site for Look Films who create films for the fashion industry. Such a simple premise, choose a film – based on a whole strip of keyframes – you can even navigate all the video content on the site from the same video scrubber. Nice, slick, and simple user experience which lets the content do the talking.

Lovely site of band J.Roddy Walston & The Business, and their song “Same Days” – this is their interactive music video. Love the build up of video and the way the interactive element – dragging around – mimics the video itself to create a kind of illusion. Very simple, but beautifully done, short and sweet.

Nice video experience running through the key features of the new Lincoln MKC. Set from a first person perspective you join your friend in a chase to find a missing wallet – conveniently using all the new features of the car! Nicely done, you can pan around your viewpoint – to look around the scene – makes for a more immersive experience. The key features are pulled out, and demonstrated in the film, you can pause and find out more in a non-obtrusive way. Overall a really nice example of using video & a story to bring a car to life.

Nice site for Nike, and their philosophy of their natural motion range of trainers. Taking inspiration from the shoes themselves, the site is flexible and dynamic, love that you can drag around the blocks of copy, video, and imagery. Lots of detail in the content too – giving a insight into the design philosophy – again which is mirrored by the interface. It is also responsive, which is great to see too. Nice to see something like this which is a bit different, looks good, with a nice visual/interactive concept behind it.
New responsive site for Volkswagen. So many small details to admire, the simplified navigation – to the side – expanding on pressing ‘more’ – so it remains elegant and does not over clutter the screen. Ultra stripped back models page, with the dynamic angles of the cars keeps it interesting. The full screen find a dealer feature – the real time stock inventory – the ‘find a match’ feature – the preloader that runs across the top of the page – the small legal disclaimers that slide up from the bottom of the viewport. Admittedly the site is for the US market, but still car sites are incredibly complicated and this site is really at the modern edge end of the spectrum. It looks lovely and stripped back as much as possible and responds well to different devices.

Site for the Coccinelle Collection of VW Beetle’s. Full of videos and interactive content – lovely homepage carousel – a bit different to usual – in this case a 3d rendering of the cars in their natural habitat. The detail pages are lovely – a bit of subtle parallax along with interactive elements such as allowing you to change the colour and so on / 360 degree sliders etc. Elegant design and layout, brought to life with nice animations and transitions.

New EP from German band OK Kid. Love the way the video grid builds up, bringing in one video at a time, and the cool little transitions that reveal text and so on. Lovely transition to the track playing and so on, nicely thought out. For a bonus – it’s also responsive – nice work.

Lovely responsive site for the McColl Center, which is a center “for Art + Innovation empowers artists to advance community through the creative process.” this is their site. Looking more like a design magazine it is beautifully designed – from the typography to the layout and photography, all feeling very fresh. Proof that responsive design does not have to be boring and boxy.

Short and sweet lookbook of Danish fashion brand Stylepit. A slow motion video scene of a train pulling into station, your view looking onto the platform and seeing a diverse range of people wearing the products. You can click and drag the scene to change your view – and see more people and clothing. Really nice simple idea and fun execution and it looks great.

Lovely new site for Jam3, Toronto based digital agency. Fully responsive, but the desktop variant is alive with lots of animations and transitions that bring to life a lot of the work. So much attention to detail and craft has gone into and it shows! The project pages are interesting and well formatted, and the animations bring it life. Lovely, dynamic example of a responsive agency site.
Site for Quechua and a lookbook for their S/S collection 2014 of outdoor clothing. Shown from a video perspective in different locations in New Zealand, watching the videos heroes the clothing and equipment on offer – clicking at any time shows the list of equipment on offer. Love all the transitions and attention to detail and so on, such as the homepage and the slide out menu everything feels slick and well put together.

Site from Chris Wang, a designer & art director, created to showcase his photography. Looks great and is full of elegant animations and transitions, love the typographic masking on the homepage. Lot of nice touches that bring to life the photography, love the preloader for each of the sections while the images in the set load, and again the transitions between the photos. Top class stuff…

Portfolio of ‘Zulu’ a creative developer. Super simple and minimal, brought to life with slick animations and transitions. Love the way the projects appear and you can cycle through each of them, he has got a keen eye for animation and it all feels very polished.
