M&M’s Dark Chocolate

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

In this game for M&M’s Dark Chocolate you have to use the clues in the Hieronymus Bosch style painting to name titles of 50 “Dark” movies.

The concept is very similar to the Virgin Digital “Music Muscle” video David posted here in July but the added benefit here is that you can interact with it and [...]

Flying

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

Hoagy de la Plante took me up flying today in a DA20 Katana. It’s a tiny little two-seater with a glass top. The plane is a lot of fun to fly and the view is amazing. I even got to take over the controls a few times!
We flew out of Hanscom and went out to [...]

Hill Holiday is doing a bit of work for the upcoming special exhibit at the mfa. They’re going to be showing this season’s Paris collection at the museum. It’s part of an effort to change the public’s perception of the museum. I’ll post more on their rebranding/repositioning efforts soon.

Verizon Beatbox Mixer

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

Our boy Mehmet “Memo” Irdel (working for R/GA) wrapped up this site for Verizon a couple of months ago. I’ve been waiting for him to post it himself but I don’t think it’s going to happen.
You can mixed videos and music in what Verizon calls a “cutting-edge cross between a music video, video game, and [...]

The initial concept for the site was [...]
