We're big in Japan!

Well, we're IN Japan at least. In a very lovely creative magazine called The Brain. We're also in a German magazine. Shame we don't speak either language. But it looks pretty don't you think?

Bestads interactive of the week- nice.

Got a lovely surprise this morning when logging onto bestadsontv.com.

Off the Grid has been awarded best interactive of the week by Andy Flemming, CD of M&C, Sydney.

In his summary, Andy wrote: "...by far the best interactive idea was Honda Civic's 'Off the Grid'. With the sleepy voice of Garrison Keillor as a guide, you explore unusual locations with full 360 degree movement. It nails the concept of exploration whilst sucking about twenty minutes out of your day."

Cheers Andy.

Start 2012...with Jeremyville and Nestea

Happy New Year!

We're back from our respective lands of the Antipodes. Lisa has had her glorious fill of sun rays, seafood and mango...and I've had my fill of torrential rain (thanks NZ for 'summer')

But a fun project that kept us occupied over our Christmas holidays was our Start 2012 campaign for Nestea. We're working with Lisa's longtime friends Megan and Jeremy to bring to life people's resolutions for the new year.

Jeremy (aka Jeremyville) has been illustrating some of the best 'Starts' on Nestea's Canada and Europe facebook pages. We're loving them! 

 

And here's the incredibly cool and talented Jeremyville doing his thing in his Bondi studio (as captured by Lisa when she caught up with him over Xmas)

The project that took us off the grid

The third and final installment of our interactive Honda work was released late last year. Hands down, we'd have to say it was the best shoot of our lives. We took a 360º camera to some of the world's most amazing environments to create an experience inspired by Street View. We went off the edge of a cliff in Marble Canyon (Lisa's first heli ride), through an underwater museum in the waters of Cancun, through one of the world's most amazing slot canyons, through a Neon museum in Vegas, into a previously unexplored ice cave in Alaska (still pinching myself on that one), and into the middle of a frozen lake on a glacier (a hairy experience to say the least).

Anyhow, no point continuing as we've probably made you jealous enough. Check out Off the Grid at http://www.youtube.com/user/hondacivicuk

Or listen to Lisa's gloriously-husky-recovering-from-a-cold voice in our making of vid.

Making the Invisible Visible across Europe

We love working with Amnesty and Mentalgassi, you couldn't come across a nicer bunch of people. Following our pilot campaign for Troy Davis in 2010, Amnesty felt that Making the Invisible Visible could help draw attention to their 2011 Write for Rights campaign. As part of Human Rights day, the campaign encourages people to write letters in support of those who are suffering human rights abuses. 

This year's campaign highlights the cases of 6 individuals and can be found in 26 sites across Germany, Ireland, Wales and Denmark. Because it's a personal project, we've been hard at work on the editing and PRing side of things and we were absolutely thrilled that thisiscolossal.com picked up on it. That's one of our favourite blogs, so a big honour.
