Dark Night Of The Soul

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Beautiful website promoting the release of an album collaboration of Dangermouse, Sparklehorse, and David Lynch. Set in a dark 3d world, where exploration is the key, a card pop up interface unfolds before you. By dragging parts of the cardboard world you reveal content, new imagery, video, and sounds from the album. I love the way you explore, clicking and dragging forwards zooms in/out, and dragging left / right pans around. The lighting also changes with the depth of your viewpoint, and it changes on the cardboard pieces that you drag around – really incredible attention to detail. The feeling of depth is incredible, giving a great sense of ambience and setting a fascinating scene. The setting is fantastic, it works like a charm, and it looks stunning, really refreshing work…

Panoplie – Artificial Emotions

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Website of French agency Panolie. Pretty interesting, standard layout but all with a twist and some injected personality. The scrolling up and down also brings weird blobs and interactive things onto screen, all adding a nice feeling of depth. Clicking on a project and clicking left/right shows a really cool 3d cloth effect. Nice attention to detail and a bit different.

Nespresso Tanzaru

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Site of Nespresso’s newest flavour ‘Tanzaru’. Essentially an interactive musical slideshow – really interesting style, with parallax scrolling and depth of field, giving a feeling of the kind of flavours and influences the coffee has. When rolling over the various items in the scene they play different sounds – so along with the background music a fun interactive composition is created. Really nice visual style and great animations and interactivity, very cool.

The Digital Invaders

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Interesting site for ‘The Digital Invaders’, from what I can tell it is offering courses in Flash, design, and so on from the great digital agency Grupo W, all sounds a lot like the Swedish Hyper Island. Set in a large scrollable canvas with amazing animation and drawings explaining what they offer. Loads of detail and animation, really polished and a lot of fun.

KIRSTEN BECKEN

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Portfolio of Kirsten Becken, fashion photographer and graphic designer. Pretty interesting interface – providing a mood board of several shots/images for each project which pans around by mouse movement, clicking zooms in and double clicking allows you to click and drag your viewpoint. I like the movement, the overview of images, and the fresh take on the standard portfolio. Pretty cool.

Coca-Cola Light Plus

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Website promoting Coca-Cola Light Plus in Brazil. Draw a shape on screen it is then brought to life with funky illustrations that continue on from your doodle, appearing along with product info. Nice light minimal interface, fun style, and really nice animations, all in all a bit of fun – well executed and nicely designed.

Black Sunshine

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Interesting concept for a new coffee bean brand ‘Black Sunshine’. Based from a FPS perspective you go underground the meet a ‘drug’ dealer, look at the product, and order online your favourite morning ‘drug’. All shot from your perspective looking around the shady underground dealings of ‘the dealer’. Love the perspective panning with the video, they make it a little bigger than the screen so you can slightly pan around to see the scene – brings a really in depth feeling. Love the art direction and the how the buttons float around following your view. They have made these coffee beans very desirable by just making it very cool and very funny…

SoftBank – Jelly Beans

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Mega cool, and mega mental promotional site for SoftBank, and what seems like promotional Jelly Beans edition phones! Featuring a 3d environment where jelly beans and the phones float around to music, making up shapes and animating around everywhere. By clicking and dragging a phone, you drag the phone towards you and the rest of the phones carry on doing their own thing. By dragging more you reveal different information about the phone. Really fun and captivating, I really love the drag interactivity, and sitting back to watch all the animation! Really cool…

timo weiland

Site of Timo Weiland fashion designer. Nicely designed and a little bit unusual, I like the way it has been laid out, and each time you navigate to a new section everything re-arranges itself. All in all quite a unique and fun experience.

Verbatim Championship

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

verbatim championship

Interesting site promoting Verbatim memory. Characters that are made up from memory sticks fight each other in an arena, you can answer a series of questions, each correct answer gives you more memory – in the end creating your character – which you can then use to fight other characters. All in slick 3D, the site is great fun to use, with loads of nice animations and interactivity. Pretty unusual and engaging way of promoting a somewhat boring product!

Emilie Simon

emilie simon

A set of interactive music videos for French singer Emilie Simon. Very similar to the Arcade Fire interactive video which was also shot by the same director – Vincent Morriset. Each video has some simple interactivity which changes your experience of the music video, for example, in the Rocket to the Moon video you can change the playback of the video by clicking on the clock in the video, in the Chinatown video by clicking around coloured smoke goes in the direction of your cursor.

triton summer secrets

Website promoting Triton’s, Brazilian fashion label, Summer of Secrets website. Inviting you to ‘Discover what lurks in the heart’s of strangers’, by linking to a variety of sites through relevant subjects, shown through a drag and explore panorama of imagery and text snippets. Quite fun and a bit weird, there are some interesting sites they link to and it’s fun to explore the mini sites. Love the animation of the flipping images on the homepage.

Armin Morbach

Portfolio of Armin Morbach, hair & makeup artist, publisher and producer. Love the style of this portfolio, really fantastic – parallax scrolling with cool cutout scenery. Nicely interactive and well designed, you really get a nice feeling of depth with the different levels. Essentially a very simple porfolio – but a great looking and effective one, with some nice transitions and effects.

Red Earth

Fantastic typographic intro sequence for the art work of Eddie Goh. The pacing of the animation is really fantastic you really get the feeling of the transcript. The site itself is pretty strange too, but provides an interesting atmosphere to some nice work.
