The Johnny Cash Project
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010Digital Innovation, Reviews, Social Media, Tools
The Johnny Cash Project is an amazing crowdsourcing site where fans, artists and music lovers contribute to create a video for Johnny Cash’s final recording “Ain’t No Grave” built up of still images, each by different artists creating a living portrait.
The site is a partnership between a developer, Aaron Koblin, director Chris Milk (the man behind the amazing Wilderness Downtown video) and producer Radica Media.
Each artist is randomly given a frame from the actual video and asked to interpret it with the drawing tools that are hosted within the site. You draw over the frame you have been given, meaning that you don’t have to be an artist to join in. You just need to be able to use your mouse and have a little bit of imagination. (more…)

Back in June this year, the Glastonbury Music Festival and sponsor Orange made an attempt to break the World Record for the most people tagged in an online image. I’m pleased to say I am in the picture! Although where, I have no idea!
The panoramic image was taken with two Hasselblad H4D-50 Cameras mounted one on top of the other, and rotated at 10 degree increments to take in the entire crowd, going back 350 meters. The cameras captured more than 70,000 who at the time, like me, were watching the England vs. Slovenia World Cup match on the first day of the festival. (more…)
Alan Partridge and Fosters – An Excellent Example of Branded Content
Friday, November 5th, 2010Digital Innovation, Internet TV, Social Media
As a child I always secretly begrudged my friends who had Sky TV, but I had to keep them sweet enough to get invited around to watch the big Premier League games on a Sunday at 4pm. What I resented even more was when Sky would screen Pay-Per-View only events, as this would mean having to keep their parents sweet enough to fork out the extra, and frankly, Summer Slam ’93 just wasn’t worth the effort. It grated on me that the best entertainment should go to those who could afford them, not those who really wanted to see them… (more…)
