Something we watched in the first year and not such a long time ago:

Flash Tutorials

As I was browsing through for some tutorials that I might be able to use as a mock variation for the Studio Culture iPhone application, here are some sites I manage to stumble upon that might be useful:

Create an iPhone-like Flip Effect in Flash Using ActionScript 3.0

Create an Impressive Magnifying Effect with ActionScript 3.0

EBAY, once again!

For some reason, our work some how resembles the like of the example shown below:

Cartoon Network – Angela Anaconda

…and from the guys at rathergood.com (not as ‘good’, obviously.)

…lack of spastic movements like the good old ‘Terrence and Philip’ clip (watch out for the language used):

More EBAY

Ideas on how we could be approaching this brief, stylistically speaking:

Adult Swim

Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! – Looking For Love

Robot Chicken – Are You Not Entertained

Aqua Teen Hunger Force – Bible Fruit

(Horribly made scenes that makes you want to cry)

EBAY – Further Lookout

As we (Leif and myself) have been spending time looking around for ideas that we could play around on for the EBAY brief, what we found in common in a lot of them is that the message they have been getting across is that ’shopping – with them – is a totally awesome adventure’. And by taking that into account, we decide that the target audience that would be fun to work with would be definitely not 1) over 65 women and 3) dogs [any age] but 2) under 17 boys instead. Although working with any other groups wouldn’t make much of a difference at this point but by having an early focus point, it would help narrow down our field of research drastically.

At the end of the day, what type of adverts/things we produce that would end up getting under 17 boys to pay attention to??

The initial idea was to perhaps take the recession into consideration by taking this brief as a form of ‘promoting your entrepreneurs’ at harsh times like these. But as we gradually look for things we could latch on, we began to wander away from that direction.
