It was the onedotzero / glue london party in Shoreditch last night.

One of the highlights (apart from the Microsoft Surface table and free bar) was a chance to see the visual identity and interactive installation for the upcoming “adventures in motion” event this September at BFI Southbank.

Wieden+Kennedy worked with Karsten Schmidt (aka Toxi) on a Processing application that collects conversations around onedotzero from the web (Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, Facebook and blogs) and generates the identity.

Using the Nokia N900 people at the party could control the live conversations behind the identity – twisting, turning and feeding the aggregated words to help build our first living, breathing onedotzero identity.

A big slap on the back goes to Sermad for getting the installation working in the nick of time, and a happy 10th birthday goes out to my gang at glue London. Tuesday night drinking, bet there was a few sore heads in the office today.

Here’s a bit about onedotzero_cascade which glue also supported.

Sportpong

Paddles on your feet – but I’d still have a go…

Sportpong is a mobile game which can be installed in locations of various dimensions both indoors and outdoors as the playing area is project on the ground.

Here it is in action.

It’s a bit basic at the moment but you can rent Sportpong for or private and public events.

Next Generation Talent

Posted: September 1st, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Advertising, Creative, Design, Digital, Social, Technology, Visual | Tags: , , , , , , , , | 5 Comments »

Panasonic’s Next Generation Talent competition asks UK students to put their creative skills to the test and produce a TV ad. It’s back for 2009 and I’ve been asked to get involved with the judging.

However instead of me banging on about what I think; it’s clearly better to get some other opinions. So please take a look at the entries below and leave your comments on the blog or email them to me.

Here’s the lowdown.

The Brief: “Produce a TV ad to promote the Panasonic G10 Viera with FreeSat Home Hub TV, leveraging the Everything Matters brand positioning.”

The Entries:

1 – Paul Bryan // Concept: An upgrade of television life over the past forty years.


2 – Steffan Harrison // Concept: Little things make the big picture happen


3 – Romaine Reid // Concept: Show off the features and benefits of each product within Panasonics HD home hub series.


4 – David-Childs-Clarke // Concept: Electronic devices coming to life via their on lights


So that’s it.

What do you think?

Please take 2 minutes out to give these guys some feedback!!
