ASCIIvertising

Dante’s Inferno ASCII art has been planted in the source code of some internet sites on the pipe, including Digg, IGN and Kotaku. The art links to this Dante’s Inferno website – pretty dam smart if you think about it.

The beautifully engineered interaction on this Wrangler Collection site makes you wanna look at every page.

Very nice.

It’s a real shame you can’t just buy the stuff on site – leveraging this experience with a little instant retail gratification would generate a lot more revenue than making people search out the products.

Gamester Rap

There are several game-raps doing the rounds at the mo – this is the best I’ve heard.

adidas BasketBall YouTube Action

New work (and a YouTube first) from RIOT/adidas that rewards BasketBall fans for sharing and interacting with content on YouTube/adidasBasketball. It works by locking sections of a video until that video receives a certain amount of views (see below) at which point a new scene is revealed – and so on. The more views the more interesting the content.

As well as that the team have created a game type item that delivers content based on the skill of the user with a power meter (below)

and a cunning device that enables the viewer to direct the action (via 4 cameras) within a clip by simply using arrow keys.


Here (look for this bit):

Lost | Bingo

Simply print out SCI FI Wire’s Lost bingo cards, plop yourself down in front of the TV with your friends as the final season begins, and prepare to mark your card whenever there’s a smoke monster/someone has daddy issues/somebody finally punches Miles etc.

An oldy, but a goody.

Wiggle 3D | GIF

This (GIF based) technique creates the illusion of 3D by displaying two images in rapid left-eye/right-eye alternation. And the best thing is that you don’t need to wear special/silly glasses to see the effect – although I would recommend you avoid looking at the imagery if you are really angry.

The effect is pretty easy to achieve (just so long as you know a little Java Script and can read.

Still Moving | New York + London

This film was made using a digital stills camera to create a stop motion animation which I think is a kinda mix of Tilt Shift and Tracking..? It is an evolution of a technique called Still Moving.

Looks good.
