We haven’t been very good at updating our blog since, well… the begining of summer. First there was some well deserved vacation time, then things got too busy again. Let’s get things back on track, starting with a fresh good news : Les Appendices just won the 2009 Gémeaux award for «Best Website for a TV show - Drama, humour, variety or animation». That makes us really happy.

Many other projects are underway these days. Let’s mention another teamwork with FEED on the just released site of the VIVA! Art Action festival, as well as a soon to be online  collaboration with Daniel Fortin and Provokat. Then there is a site with  Espace In.Fusion, an installation with Moment Factory, a campaig with Publicis and an interactive experience with the NFB. It’s going to be fun!

Oh, and perhaps you also noticed our boss on the  Faire l’INIS campaign posters…

Analekta approached us a few months ago to create a series of web videos.  The objectives were twofold. Firstly, to use web videos to increase their fan base by making classical music more accessible to a younger audience. And secondly, the videos would be used to promote their artists on a national and international level.

The idea: To create 2 minute videos that capture the essence of each artist’ most recent recordings.

The challenge: To stay nimble and as invisible as possible not to disturb the artists during the recording sessions. The videos are shot, edited and uploaded the same day.

The result: Thousands of online-views and a happy client, the videos can  also be viewed on-board Air Canada flights.

The latest video is Lorraine Desmarais Big Band who will be performing at the Montreal Jazz Festival with Montreal’ gem Oliver Jones as special guest.

It has been a privilege to work with such luminaries as Angèle Dubeau, Kent Nagano, Alain Lefèvre and Matthias Maute. On a personal level, it’s quite therapeutic to be at recording sessions with such great artists.

The Good Conspiracy will be featured tonight at Pecha Kucha Montréal. We hope to see you at SAT starting at 20:00pm.

It’s always a pleasure to start the week with fresh news.

LaCache.tv, the world’s first ever virtual Geocaching game has been awarded “Official Honoree” by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, in the Games category.

Of the nearly 10,000 entries submitted to the 13th Annual Webby Awards, fewer than 15% were distinguished as an Official Honoree. This honor signifies an outstanding caliber of work.

The game was created by Inpix. KNGFU championed the technical direction.

Télé-Quebec’s new humor series is making quite a buzz and we were enthusiastic to work at creating the show’s site in collaboration with Télé-Québec.

We recently celebrated the launch of the Monarch Vector site as well as the inauguration of the project’s exhibition at Espacio México last week.

The 34 day journey followed the migration of the monarch butterfly. The site was created in collaboration with Patrick Beaulieu and Daniel Canty, along with FEED for the design.
