DADI Awards

DADI Awards double!

I've just won two (yes two!!!) DADI Awards for my in-cinema game for Cadbury and the Krypton Factor games. Both projects came away with all the medals in the 'Best Interactive Entertainment Website, Game or Campaign' category. Big shouts to my collaborators Chunk.

The Cadbury game was also commended for 'Best Use of Technical Innovation', for its use of motion detectors to allow the cinema audience to control the game. I wrote the motion detection software from the ground-up in ActionScript 3.

FWA Site of the Day

3D work wins award

Great news - I've won an FWA for my PaperVision 3D Flash work on the Krypton Factor Train your Business Brain website, which was created to support the famous TV show. The nice folks over at Chunk designed the site, and I did the 3D section and three of the 3D games.

Now in a cinema near you

I've just done my second in-cinema audience participation game (yes, that's a mouthful) - this time to support the Cadbury's 'Eyebrows' ad campaign. It was for Drum, with post-production by The Mill, no less! I wrote my own motion-detector software to analyse the audience's movements, so they can play by leaning left and right in their seats.

Last year I created another in-cinema game for Volvo, with the nice folks at Chunk, in which the cinema audience steered a 4x4 down a mountain track, collecting outdoors equipment along the way.
