We recently launched our GM Used Car Ambush site with Mullen and its getting quite a bit of attention. So, we figured it would be a good idea to give everyone a peek into how much work it took to put a site like this together. What you’re not going to see in this little Behind the Scenes post is our development team with singed retinas at 3 in the morning or Jon wielding a cutting torch instead of hucking at Snowbird on a Saturday morning. Definitely not FCC approved. Or GM Certified for that matter. Seriously, it was some very committed work on our end and some true collaboration with Mullen. We’re all really proud of it.
Regardless of the current decline of the auto industry (especially the Big 3) and the eventual move to a more sustainable fuel source, this site has some very cool details and we’re doing some things here in Flash that are completely unique. Thats how we roll…

so…how to explain this image…(ahem), well, we just finished up a site with Wieden+Kennedy and Old Spice. we were fortunate enough to hang out on the set as the professionals from Stan Winston (Terminator, Jurassic Park, Aliens) brought the idea to life. you see, this new product from OS is two things…a centaur is two things…ok, ok, you know where this is going. take a look at some of the other bottom halves on the site. it’s kind of funny.
huge collaboration with Digital Domain, Kamp Grizzly and w+k to make this site happen. good stuff.

checked out this event last weekend in seattle…a very cool benefit for kids in cambodia featuring World B Boy champs Massive Monkees, legendary Seattle photographer Charles Peterson, immigration activist Many Uch & photographer Stuart Isett.
made me think, experienced some radical breakdancing and maybe drank a brew or two. hey - it was for a good cause ;)
Tiny Toones was born in the Bassac slum area of Phnom Penh,Cambodia and provides free HIV/AIDS, health, drug awareness,performing arts and language education in English and Khmer to underprivileged youth. It also serves as a community center, with an open door policy, where hundreds of children have a positive environment to channel their energy into learning and performing arts. The group was founded by Tuy Sobil, a.k.a. KK, originally from Long Beach, who brought his b boy dance talents to the streets of Cambodia to help the country struggling to rebuild after 30 years of war.
Funds raised from the event will be used to support Tiny Toones as well as purchase a small mini-van so the kids can be driven safely to school, dance performances and rehearsals.
thats pretty cool.

ryan was spending some quality time with us up here in the portland studio, so we thought we’d share a traditonal portland breakfast with him - voodoo doughnuts. a bizarre mix of sugary goodness and local pide - voodoo creates the most unique pastries in town. yup - thats Cap’n Crunch Cereal on the doughnut…better than the bacon option…maybe.
