For a company like ours whose specialty is Flash and interactive production it’s disappointing to say the least that we won’t fully be able to take advantage of what Apple and some people deem to be the new “it” device or “game changer”.
Will it sell? Will we in the coming months or year figure out how to make this “useless” device useful? Probably. Until then it still remains just a large, cool gadget at best to show off to friends. Had it been more computer like with multi-tasking and an actual browser that lets you “surf the web” instead of just a giant iTouch it would reach the masses much more quickly and not just the mac fanboys (to whom Apple can do no wrong).
As much as I love my Apple stuff and am part fanboy, they’re starting to get more and more irritating. Their insistence on making things proprietary is annoying. The Apple TV could have been great but its a complete dud because of it. Would the game changing iPod which changed a whole music industry have sold so well if they said you had to convert all your music to an iPod specific format instead of the MP3? (anyone remember sony’s mini-disc?)
Personally, I’m still waiting for an iPhone that has a flash on it like my crappy phone did 3 years ago.

After 4 months of endless creative meetings and long hours of VFX/rotoscoping, design and development Jam3 pushes live an interactive movie of a gruesome car accident at point of impact. The initial video is a frozen in time camera move that allows the user to navigate through an explosion of fire, glass and wreckage as several gateways of content reveal them selves to learn more about how? and why?. Look out for our papervision map that gives you a complete 360 birds eye view of the horrendous accident.

AGO commissioned Jam3 to the design and develop a King Tut online exhibition like no other.
The King Tut Experience is a virtual museum built in Papervision 3D where users can explore and learn about some of the key artifacts in the King Tut Exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada.

Yes…we all know what you think this looks like but in reality this is part of some of the massive lighting that was used for the Lexus shoot that Jam3 was lucky to be a part of. Yes…it was hard to leave cold Toronto for the sunny Miami beach…booo. Thanks Dentsu. Stay tuned for the new Lexus website we’ll be releasing later this year.

Jam3 made a big splash at the Digital Marketing Awards in Toronto November 12th (yes…i know…and we’re blogging about it now, we’re busy okay), with the website for its film Waterlife winning Best of Show honours.
The website, created for NFB, is a rich, interactive, highly immersive experience that delivers the key message of the film–the Great Lakes are in great distress, but something can be done about it–for anyone who hasn’t seen the film.
The website uses video, animation and text in 23 different sections to deliver its message in a remarkably user-friendly, engaging manner. The site also won a Gold in the Entertainment, Arts & Tourism category.
Commitment to Care & Service Awards
“What really helped Waterlife stand out to the jury was how impossible it was to ignore,” said Adrian Capobianco, DMAs co-chair and president of Quizative Inc. “It was captivating and drew you in. The content was great and that raised it above the rest.”
