Leo Burnett approached us to create an online event and experience to augment their ‘House of Cards’ campaign for the housing charity Shelter.
The site features the work of leading artists such as Damien Hirst and the Chapmans, and by uploading their own art through the site, users had the chance of having their work exhibited alongside them.
I created a 3d experience using Papervision, with design by Tim and HTML/PHP by Vincent and Marcel. Users could view the cards falling, view details of them, vote for their favorites and upload their own designs. We ended up with several thousand entries. After the competition was closed the entries were replaced with the artists cards, along with the winning entry and options to help the cause. The site was redesigned by Kristian Saliba with further Flash development by Huy Dinh.

I’ve been playing with augmented reality in Flash, aided by Saqoosha’s excellent FLARToolkit and Papervision 3D. Here at Stink Digital we decided to develop these experiments to do something fun for an ad in Contagious Magazine.
At first we planned to make a virtual Cannes Lion, along with some fireworks to fit in with the advertising festival which coincides with the issue. After having some problems getting the 3D model to work how we wanted and, moreover, deciding this idea was perhaps a bit too gimmicky I started playing with showing trending Tweets as 3D text. This worked quite well, but we then took it a step further to pull a live feed of all kinds of trending topics from various sources, including Flickr images. The result was a ‘What the internet is thinking’ app where every time you show the marker you get a new ‘thought’.
