• Introducing The Feedback Crowd App

  Monday, September 13th, 2010

  Well, it’s been a busy start to my new tax year! I’ve had lots and lots of projects!! One hugely noticeable project is one I did for the good folks over at QuBit Digital. The idea is simple: create a crowd-sourcing web site tester (if that makes sense).

  I started with using HTML5 and some clever JavaScript, but it was soon very apparent that the damn browser cross domain security settings wasn’t going to all me to build a perfect app for us to see how people are using the sites.

  So in the end I developed it in Adobe AIR and it’s running pretty perfect! It uses Facebook OAuth which means the barriers to entry are very small! Check it out, remember, the more tests you do, the more money raised for charity: http://www.feedbackcrowd.com

• Have You Been Tango’d (Yet?)

  Friday, July 9th, 2010

  I can’t believe I forgot to mention this. Unless you haven’t had a look at my portfolio, you may not have noticed that about two weeks ago I launched the Tango’d Films YouTube Brand Channel: http://youtube.com/tango.

  It’s a pretty fun channel, the concept is that you take a Lomax d’n'b track and do some bad-ass dancing and submit it into the contest running on the channel.

  

  Have a play and even enter the contest, well, it is for underage people, but yeah, go for it!

• Introducing the new Samsung 3D LED TV Campaign

  Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

  Ah, what a crazy couple of weeks. If you haven’t read about this on my portfolio, here’s a snippet about this campaign:

  “This was a very last minute project that I had the chance to work on. On my meeting to another project, I received a call from the creative agency asking for my help to get this YouTube and GCN centric campaign off the ground and turned around within 4 working days. It started off with a multi-stage YouTube brand channel that coincided with the launch of the teasers and adverts for the new 3D LED TV. I then also had to work on MPUs and a masthead for the YouTube homepage. Overall it was a pretty awesome project, one that had to be done quite fast (within 16 working days) and one that’s come off pretty well.”

  Yes, it’s the morning and I feel lazy!

  But seriously, this was an awesome campaign to work on and there was a very steep learning curve. It wasn’t without hiccups, just information getting lost in translation. And then there was the YouTube cache! But now it’s all good and the masthead is running on the YouTube web site now for one day (00:00-23:59 28/4/2010) so check it up and get the clicks up: http://youtube.com/samsung3d

• YouTube Cannes Lions is Go Go Go!

  Friday, April 23rd, 2010

  I recently worked on a nice and quick project: YouTube Cannes Lions 48 Hour Ad Contest.

  This is a bright and funky channel that asks the creative types around the world to create a compelling ad (that fits a brief of course) within 48 hours to win a chance to go to Cannes Lions. It’s pretty awesome, and it’s worth checking out the talent from last year: http://youtube.com/canneslions
