Getting some ADCC love (x 7)

Last night was an awesome night for Jam3 at the 2010 ADCC Awards. 5 projects we produced nabbed 7 awards in total with the grand tally being 1 Gold, 5 Silver and a Merit. A big congrats and thanks goes to everyone at Jam3 whose passion and savvy are what make these projects stand out from the rest.

During Geoffrey Roche’s (humorously long but insightful) speech I found myself nodding with approval at times as we’ve always preached a few of the exact same things. It’s all about passion, if you love what you do it will show in your work and to always put the extra effort forth because you’re only as good as your last project.

Gold: Buick Behind the Beauty (Maclaren MRM) – Motion Graphics
Silver: Buick Behind the Beauty (Maclaren MRM) – Business to Consumer
Silver: The Autotopsy (Whizbang Films) – Online Video Single
Silver: Waterlife (The NFB) – Non Profit & Public Service
Silver: Waterlife (The NFB) – Education & Information
Silver: Petro Canada “Olympic Wave” (TBWA) – Special Events
Merit: Stemcell Foundation “Renew the World” (Manifest) – Non Profit & Public Service

It’s also worth mentioning that in addition to the ADCC’s, we also picked up a Gold this Tuesday at the Digital Marketing Awards and were nominated for 2 Gemini’s in the same night! What a week!

Waterlife makes Cyber Lions Short-List

Well this is just icing on the cake for the storied web site about the Great Lakes – an interactive documentary we developed with the NFB presenting Kevin McMahon’s film in a new way.

To be recognized internationally like this is really the tops. Thank you to the jury for your consideration, we are truly honoured.

It’s getting awkward writing a lot about this site in the last year. See below for an executive summary about it and it’s impact:

What is Waterlife? Waterlife is the story of the last great supply of fresh drinking water on earth—The Great Lakes. The site is an interactive documentary that blends stunning footage with Flash, Papervision, and an amazing soundtrack, it tells the story of the extreme state of distress that the Great Lakes are in and how it affects the water that 35 million people drink every day.


The navigation is based on a free-flowing, water-like interface in which exploration feels smooth and effortless, like swimming. the site is broken down into 23 sections that contain interactive content, illustrated animations and documentary footage; it’s an online experience that caters to both those wanting a beautiful visual digital experience as well as those passionate about the environment.
The site's goal is also to reach an audience beyond those who are just interested in water issues. We wanted to be able to reach people and create an interactive experience that could stand on its own, from a creative and educational perspective.

Despite being launched with no advertising in may 2009, a nerve was struck and the people spoke. 10 months later Waterlife amazingly continues to be talked about and spread through websites, blogs and social media. With 2,100,000 page views, 450,000 visits and astonishing bounce rate of 1.5%. Waterlife could not be ignored.
