Holy Moly… Today the FWA has recognized Waterlife as the Site of the Day which was also featured on the Adobe Showcase on Friday!
Waterlife is the story of the last great supply of fresh drinking water on Earth. Jam3 worked on this project with the National Film Board of Canada to in an effort to bring this award winning documentary in an interactive way to the digital masses. The site’s content and interactivity has seemed to have struck a nerve virally with thousands of people tweeting and posting links on facebook.
In addition the FWA and Adobe Showcase the site was written about in Marketing Magazine, featured on Computerlove and went to the top stop on the Design Charts by being featured on the most popular web and design blogs.

Produced for TAXI NYC & General Mills, this site features “Dan Sven” (Mr. Easy Listening himself!) singing 2 of his favourite tunes… “Hey Cookin’ Lady” & “We Need to Talk”.
The music videos were directed and edited Dave Pawsey (director of a few Sam Roberts videos). This site is a great example of what can be accomplished by Jam3 & Spy Films. The outcome is a highly creative and really polished interactive experience throughout.

Last night’s Inter-Action was hosted by our production partners Spy Films. We were one of the speakers and the topic we chose was to describe just how crazy a project I Prophesy was to develop. The other other 2 presenters were the incredibly talented Vincent Morisset and Colin Moock. Vincent spoke about several of his projects with Arcade Fire and showed a very cool short interactive film called “Colorblind Clyde” which uses Bicolorama. Colin Moock showcased some of his multi-user work with Megaphone built on his Union Platform.
For those of you who don’t know about Inter-Action here’s the gist from the mouth of one its co-founders, Amy Miranda.
“Inter-action is a bi-monthly thinktank/discussion group/task force for interactive thinkers. It’s comprised of you. People in the industry. From Agencies to Development partners – creatives, developers, producers etc. So, this is a time to get together, have a drink and chat about what we’re up to, where things are going, and how together we can continue to push innovation locally. Collaboration, is a good thing. We like it.”

This one is a long time coming folks. A massive undertaking we started at the beginning of ‘08 for The Secret Location. The site was another Bell New Media Fund project for a television series on the Vision channel. www.iprophesy.net
What is it? Here’s our technical, geek speak blurb about it. I Prophesy is an avatar-based Flash multi-user experience. The site encourages users to explore the future of the human race through video, mini-games (multiplayer and solo) and most importantly via chat and forum posting. The Flash app works in conjunction with a customized forum installation featuring a unified registration and login system synching Flash and bbPress. Avatars see recent posts in any one of the massive thirteen parallax worlds via an rss feed fed right into the skies of I Prophesy. The site even tweets to a Twitter account set up specifically for publishing postings on the forum. The site was developed for Flash 10 (as the player went into beta) allowing the development team to explore PixelBender among other things, for improved bitmap data performance used in the custom physics/world engine(s).
SmartFox multi-user server proved to be worthy, and allowed us to code a Java extension for some of our heavy lifting and network optimization strategies. The avatars themselves were created in 3D, rendered, converted into PNG sequences and then in order to control bandwidth usage and CPU resources a Java application was writen to process individual avatar frames into 2800px wide image strips of frame sequences separated into color data and PNG alpha channel for better compression, it would then create files ready for batching to produce swfs. Overall, the project was a year in the making and employs serious memory management, frame rate, and optimization techniques that allow this massive site to perform within the Flash player. The final result is an experience like no other with an undisclosed number of codes and easter eggs!
Adrian out.

Our team really bonded last week as it came together to make what seemed like an impossible launch date of Dec. 1st a reality for iEmbraceAIDS.com. The site encourages users to ‘Let Your Light Shine’ by sending a Flash postcard to your friends (really cool, see pic above) and by joining the membership base which is visually represented by both a stylized Flash map and a regular Google Map. Spreading the word will help raise awareness about AIDS globally. On development front, some interesting technologies used on this project including Geolocationing, Google Maps, and YouTube.

Here’s a link to our new reel which was featured today @ The FWA Theatre. It combines some of the cooler work by Spy Film interspersed with our own work. The video serves as a preview of the great things to come from the Jam3 / Spy Interactive collaboration.
…and yes, the wonderful acting in the beginning is by yours truly.
