Swimming With Sea-Monkeys

Posted on August 27, 2009 | 1 Comment

Swim With Sea-Monkeys is a brilliant interactive website where you can turn yourself, and your friends, into sea monkeys and swim around a tank. An optional extra is adding your face, or those of your friends, onto the creatures. It is also supported by some brilliantly illustrated posters (below).

Now in case you were wondering;

Sea-Monkeys are a true miracle of nature. They exist in suspended animation inside their tiny eggs for many years. The instant-life crystals, in which the eggs are enclosed, preserve their viability and help to extend still further their un-hatched life span! Sea-Monkeys are real Time-Travelers asleep in biological time capsules for their strange journey into the future!

The joy of watching Sea-Monkeys grow offers a lot more than just pure fun. It is one of the outstanding educational experiences of a lifetime, because the entire life-cycle of these unique creatures are fully recreated. Conceived in 1960 as a biological novelty, the “fantasy” has transformed into brilliant reality.

Thinking of advertising on food containers would normally bring to mind the lower end of the advertising market, and objects such as coffee cups and pizza boxes. However, Rockstar Games have totally changed that perception with the inspired idea of using left over branded boxes originally sent to video game reviewers. Promoting the video game Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DSNow, they distributed the left over boxes to well respected Chinese take-out restaurants.  They save money Rockstar games gets some more promotion – brilliant (via Eat Me Daily).

Truck Farm

Posted on August 23, 2009 | 8 Comments

Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney are tw0 the filmmakers working on a rather brilliant project called “Truck Farm”.

truck-farm

As the name suggest it is a living, mobile garden inside the bed of a 1986 Dodge half-ton pickup truck, parked on the streets of Brooklyn (US) which grows tomatoes, broccoli, arugula, and parsley. Would love to see something like this on the streets of London, maybe we will do it ourselves?.. See some episodes of Truck Farm below, it’s awesome:

A film called Lemonade

Posted on August 20, 2009 | Leave a comment

This is Lemonade, a collaborative film and really interesting insight into how advertising was hit by the recession in the US. It is a new documentary film from Eric Proulx – founder of website Please Feed The Animals. You can also contact the film producers here if you want to offer them any help in completing the project.

More than 70,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this “Great Recession.” Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising are forced to be creative with their own lives.
