Got to work on a nice little site for Sky News recently. Working on all the design and animation. It was meant to be an unbranded site
to help people decide who to vote for in the 2010 general election. It did this in a very Tongue in cheek way via your facebook profile. Scanning your posts, comments and friends list. Pulling out keywords as it goes. Some words with real relevance, others a bit more funny.
So the idea was use some kind of lo-fi retro style machine built in someones shed. My inspiration was forbidden planet, retro science equipment and the first commercial PCs from the late 60s early 70s and gambling machines.
Not To Scale were commissioned to do a viral to help spread the word of this machine too. It looks great and features the unmistakable vocal talents of Brian Blessed on the voice over.
My Involvement
Art direction, Design, Interaction direction, Animation
You can see the full design in a walkthrough demo here
