Portfolio of Chinese interactive art director Yong. Using hand made clay models to form the basis of his work it is beautifully realised, from fantastic clay animation to his work realistically modelled onto blocks of clay. Amazing animations, design, and style all coming together to make a fun, beautiful website.
Site of Scandinavian agency hellodave! Set in a slick dark interface with 3d panels flying around moving with your cursor. By clicking on the thumbnails all of the panels reorganise to show a video player for that project. Really nice animations and transitions – love the camera movement with your mouse – it is very very smooth, and the shading and lighting is well executed. Very nice…
Clean, slick, and simple website of Brazilian Creative Director Taua Baccarin. Showcasing his best work in a nicely laid out grid, highlighted by the smooth animation that really brings it all to life. The work is presented nicely in a sideways scrolling contact sheet style. Great combination of nice layout and great animation - good example of portfolio site.
Beautiful website promoting the release of an album collaboration of Dangermouse, Sparklehorse, and David Lynch. Set in a dark 3d world, where exploration is the key, a card pop up interface unfolds before you. By dragging parts of the cardboard world you reveal content, new imagery, video, and sounds from the album. I love the way you explore, clicking and dragging forwards zooms in/out, and dragging left / right pans around. The lighting also changes with the depth of your viewpoint, and it changes on the cardboard pieces that you drag around – really incredible attention to detail. The feeling of depth is incredible, giving a great sense of ambience and setting a fascinating scene. The setting is fantastic, it works like a charm, and it looks stunning, really refreshing work…

Site promoting the new TV series about ‘Carlos’ a terrorist. Follow the trail of Carlos throughout the world and see where key events happened. Really slick site with incredible execution throughout. Love the 3d globe, clicking zooms in to various locations, similar to Google Earth, to give a montage of material about the event with press clippings, video clips, and so on. The montage itself is nicely laid out and you can pan your view around to reveal more items giving each location a back story. The level of detail is quite incredible, with seamless transitions from the 3d globe to the end scene, well designed, amazing animation and polish, really great work…

Very cool site of photographer & art director Jaoa Sousa. Set within a grid of labelled projects, the preloading itself is very cool, is a sea of work Le-Joy has created. Rolling over each thumbnail instantly displays that project and changes the thumbnail to navigation buttons, keeping your mouse still for a few seconds hides all the navigation and grid. When each image appears it is mapped to a 3d surface and animates nicely into view. A superb, stylish portfolio of really nice work, different but familiar, really cool…

Interesting site for Mater furniture promoting their ‘gymnasium’ range of furniture. Very simple, but fun exectuion, brought to life with slick animation. Set in a large gallery-esque space with a nice layout and fun interactivity. The animations are really cool with lots of polish throughout.

Simple & slick branding site from Mercedes Benz USA. Featuring an array of videos and images wrapped around a smart 3d interface. I really like the 3d menu system that is very modern and sleek but remaining easy and fun to use. Some nice content here too, all with a thick layer of polish.
Slick portfolio of the Danish Villads + Ammentorp. Very simple layout, brought to life by the fast and smooth animation and interactivity. Highlighting the duos best work in a really effective way – straight to point with a bit of polish.

Website of French agency Panolie. Pretty interesting, standard layout but all with a twist and some injected personality. The scrolling up and down also brings weird blobs and interactive things onto screen, all adding a nice feeling of depth. Clicking on a project and clicking left/right shows a really cool 3d cloth effect. Nice attention to detail and a bit different.
Website of photographer Vicente Diaz Penas. Quite normal, until you click and drag, then you see that the photos are mapped to a 3d surface to give the impression of depth. On some images it works really well, a very interesting effect, a nice concept…
Really cool interactive music video from Shihad with their latest single. 100 Shihad fans were invited to take part in a music video, and were filmed in slow motion whilst being ‘tortured’. The results are a wall of individual videos which you can watch and interact with. Beautifully shot and fun to watch, very stylish with black and white. I love the way the video flips from silhoutte to detail, white and then reverse, you find yourself watching it again and again!

Site of Nespresso’s newest flavour ‘Tanzaru’. Essentially an interactive musical slideshow – really interesting style, with parallax scrolling and depth of field, giving a feeling of the kind of flavours and influences the coffee has. When rolling over the various items in the scene they play different sounds – so along with the background music a fun interactive composition is created. Really nice visual style and great animations and interactivity, very cool.

Website of the A/W Collection of Brazilian label of Santa Lolla. Slick animation provides the basis of this site, fast smooth transitions reveal the collection. Using a slideshow function you can sit back and watch, moving the mouse around scrolls the image, a little ‘sand timer’ displaying when the next image will appear is a touch. The thumbnail menu also works really nicely along with the main image, you scroll by mving your mouse up and down. Lots of attention to detail and cool transitions, nicely polished.

Website promoting ‘Forum’ a Brazilian fashion label. Cool interface, very nicely laid out with typography, 3d objects, video and photography. Coupled with slick and smooth animation and loads of nice touches, in particular I like the mechanism used to show off their products a very cool interactive slideshow. Also really like the intro withe the 3d wireframes overlaid with video – Very nice…

Interesting site for ‘The Digital Invaders’, from what I can tell it is offering courses in Flash, design, and so on from the great digital agency Grupo W, all sounds a lot like the Swedish Hyper Island. Set in a large scrollable canvas with amazing animation and drawings explaining what they offer. Loads of detail and animation, really polished and a lot of fun.

Interesting site trying to change our perception and attitude towards cancer. Encouraging the fight against cancer you can post images, text, and so on. Set in a 3d interface with all the comments and photos floating up in 3d space which you can interact with, it looks great and works nicely. Nice ‘fun’ idea, inspiring message, and well executed.

Portfolio of Jongmin Kim, interactive designer and photographer. Nice work in a fresh portfolio, interactive work in a smooth 3d interface, and all his photos plotted by date and location on a map. Loads of cool transitions and animation, interactivity is simple and smart, nicely designed – all in all a good portfolio site with a bit of extra polish that really makes it come alive.
Portfolio of Kirsten Becken, fashion photographer and graphic designer. Pretty interesting interface – providing a mood board of several shots/images for each project which pans around by mouse movement, clicking zooms in and double clicking allows you to click and drag your viewpoint. I like the movement, the overview of images, and the fresh take on the standard portfolio. Pretty cool.

Site of photographer Brandon Savoy. Simple and minimal this site shows full screen photography with a very clean interface which works nicely. The animation is very fluid and allows you to watch a slideshow of his work. Does the job well, simple, clean and good looking.

Website of Grimm Gallun Holtappels, German agency. Combining real environment and 3d interactive objects this site really comes alive. Travelling through what looks like an office, thumbnails of their projects can be dragged along through the space and expanded to find out more. By clicking on the coloured boxes you can explore lots of different areas, the zoom function is really cool as well. I love the motion tracking of the 3d objects and the faux camera / POV movement. The animation is super smooth, with an amazing level of detail and timing. It looks great also, with every button and feature well considered and designed. Love it!
Website promoting Coca-Cola Light Plus in Brazil. Draw a shape on screen it is then brought to life with funky illustrations that continue on from your doodle, appearing along with product info. Nice light minimal interface, fun style, and really nice animations, all in all a bit of fun – well executed and nicely designed.
