Star Wars Uncut is an experiment in using the Internet to crowdsource user content… The movie was cut into 15 second chunks and people where invited to choose a chunk to recreate. The whole film has now been reassembled out of all the submitted bits and bobs. It’s a pretty eclectic mix, from hammy send-ups to some lovely bits of animation, and way better than The Phantom Menace.
Good chance you might have seen this, but a classic example of an interactive pop-up book. Documented on YouTube.
Chair Arch is a film by The Glue Society to promote 42 Below Vodka, inspired by the strap line “Because We Can”. Illustrates the use of a team to realise an idea, and that the process can be very much a part of the outcome. Fun website too.
