Site promoting the new Wes Anderson film ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ – through the guise of on an online course ‘Akademie Zubrowka’ to learn about world of the film. All done through the style of a projector – with lens blur and sliding transitions. Loads of lovely details such as looking at the individual items – zooming in on them. It looks great and the overall visual style of site is quite distinct and matches the film and posters well – really nice example of a film promo site.

Interesting idea – to take the an Ibis Hotel bed to the summit of ‘Devil’s Mountain’ for the ultimate night’s sleep. Following a format of a travel / expedition short film – with an interactive timeline, extras and a really cool 3d map. It is a surprisingly sophisticated interactive experience considering the client and subject matter – with loads of transitions / sliding panels / and cool animations. A fantastic example of a modern, sophisticated interactive film.

Site from Kenzo trying to raise awareness about the global decline in ocean life. A tie in with the Blue Marine Foundation Kenzo have also released a line of tee shirt and sweaters too. Interestingly done through a 3d scrolling site, as you scroll your view explores the screen in a uniquely Kenzo way – colourful and bold.

Pollen

Nice new site for Pollen a branding and design agency for the fashion sector. Responsive, modern site – love the slide out menu and the slick transitions / preloader to the individual projects. Nicely laid out the offset grid maintaining it visually interesting throughout. Individual stories for each of the projects offering moodboards, user journeys and so on make it a bit different to the mainstream portfolio site. Nice.

VW Sports Cars

Really nice site for VW France showcasing VW sport cars in a rich and interactive environment. Featuring several cars that you can spin around in a dark and moody warehouse – with key stats design details and so on. The amount of detail from the 3d models to the animations is incredible, every small transition has been considered. I love the transitions from the home screen to the cars, and the way the 360 works, also all of the hotspot transitions. Another really cool part of the site is the way it responds, so desktop users get the full rich experience, tablet users get a very similar experience using the same content and videos and mobile users get a much more stripped back version – they all work really well. It looks great, feels great and is a fantastic example of a modern responsive promo site.

Mercedes – Forgotten Roadtrip

Nice bit of storytelling for the Mercedes GLA Class. You watch the main character regain his memory through small snippets of videos, images and interactive elements – all presented in a long scrolling page. Nice to see people trying different approaches – in order to appreciate the site you have to go through the story slowly – if you were to scroll quickly through it easy to dismiss as another parallax site. But all the individual snippets of the story, sound, draggable interactivity, and video draw you into the story. It also looks nice – with a bold style and feeling a little like Max Payne or Memento.

Nice video site promoting the new Gran Turismo 6 game. From the perspective of Mario Andretti famous driver, and his first love for a special car – the Hudson. Nice video story, with a nice full screen experience with sliding panels showing chapters and so on. Like the way the menus appear – smooth transitions to and from the main screen showing the main story.

Small and simple site promoting Nestle’s new flavoured green tea. Placing you in a 3d underwater world free for you to explore. With slices of cucumber, apples, tea leaves and so on – all the flavours in the drink in a surreal world. Fun exploratory way of showing the world of flavours in the drink in a fun and playful way.

Site promoting the Citroen DS5 car in Brazil. Full of really nice video content, photos brought to life through slick transitions and animations. Feeling more like a Flash site from the old days – with all the slick animations and transitions – but all in HTML.

Site of data visualisation agency Dataveyes. In their words “We translate data into experiences, to share narratives, support new uses, and make sense of a world increasingly shaped by algorithms. We design useful, relevant interfaces through our workflow, which revolves around both data and user needs.” They have brought to life some nice animations and particle effects and tried to simplify what data is and how you can visualise it. Some really nice touches and it looks great.

Moments Before Dawn

Micro site promoting ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ a new film released this summer. Some nice touches such as ambient noises and video, to put across a mood – with some cool interactions to explore the two main scenes. It also works responsively – although the desktop experience relies on rollovers – it still works and is nice to see people trying something other than long scrolling parallax pages.

Lovely site for the photography of Thomas Ciszewski. Love the large typography and large photography – loads of slick transitions and a lovely feeling of consideration. The minimal layout lets the photos pop, and the fullscreen mode is fantastic. There is also a quick view for the projects offering a more zoomed out view of the work. Very slick.
