Professor Fletcher’s invention of the CellScope, which is a Nokia device with a microscope attachment, was the inspiration for a teeny-tiny film created by Sumo Science at Aardman. It stars a 9mm girl called Dot as she struggles through a microscopic world. All the minuscule detail was shot using CellScope technology and a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics.

This is a short film that was created using more than 35,000 stills shot on a Nikon D3

Shot by a VFX artist named Sam OHare in mulitple locations in New York and Brooklyn it shows the many rhythms, pulses and moods of the city.

Love the time-lapse tilt shift photography and miniature look of this piece.

i have something to reveal

A new viral piece created by DraftFCB Stockholm is really well done. It this takes some time to load but is worth it. pass it along

OK so much for turning your cell phone off when you go to the movies. This is a look at an interactive movie experience and blurs the boundaries between gaming and film. Kind of fun as the viewer who is contacted can direct the action in the film. Have a look – future of interactive TV could be fun!

Last call – first interactive theatrical

I saw this and found some of it interesting – good production value even if the storyline is kinda gruesome. A taste of what is to come for online interactive shows.

The online experience at autotopsy.ca puts the viewer in the driving seat as the show’s main character and a young insurance claims adjuster Jimmy Burns is hot on the tail of a multi-vehicle pile-up. The viewer is taken through his journey step-by-step to piece together the complex jigsaw, and invited into a hellish crash scene that allows them to delve deeper and witness the moments leading up to the crash.

Part-game, part-narrative experiment, the site serves up interactive video content alongside character case studies that provide hints and distractions alike.

Not sure how many people will go there but love the frozen images and the ability to explore.

I am at the Boards Conference in NY and just heard the attached talk by Stefan Sagmeister about the powers of time off -  very inspiring discussion about how to keep creativity at its peak  .stefan_sagmeister_the_power_of_time_off.html

The campaign site HBOImagine.com, created by The Barbarian Group, houses more than 40 minutes of film content in a fragmented constellation. Vieiwers can click on an image to activate short and long clips, audio, photos and newspaper clippings. Each time a viewer watches a clip, new footage is unlocked and linked together. Ultimately the goal is to piece together the non-linear story to realize the complete plotline.

Following on from their Whale Song commercial, Optus have created a site that allows you to use your keyboard to create your very own aquatic symphony. Check it out here.

In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.

The videos can be played simultaneously — the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders.
