The 2007 Xmas-Special is a first-person-livevideo-game that game me goosebums playing it! This websites by well-known german agency “Scholz & Volkmer” is one of the best video based sites I came across this year.
Another good usage of online video as a new marketing channel. The Boston Symphony Orchestra has started Boston POPS.tv, where they show recordings of their orchestra.
I think it’s a good idea, it really gives them the chance to reach new (and younger) target groups. Video lively transports the tension of a big classical orchestra. They have a nice video player with chapter functions and additional text commentary.
When I saw the See Something. Feel Something. campaign from FOXTEL Australia I was a little suprised. Are they really serious?
There are showing people in front of a tv, whose feelings are diversifying between tension and joy. You don’t have to know the short film Evidence to get the impressions that all the people are looking like zombies! Is this really the impression they want to evoke?
Berlin based web TV station Hobnox goes online today!
Right now they’re running four channels, all connected to youth culture. What separates them from other web tv stations is the massive amount of self produced content. They’re having a handful of hosts, running different show formats. They recruited some german MTV-faces for that. Reminds a little bit of G4, although they are shifting the focus from game-related-content to music, film and street culture.
To push the whole web2.0-participatory thing they are having a contest where you can win 25.000 Euro to realise your project!

Even though the degree of interactivity is rather small it feels quite natural, as the actions taking place respond to certain events in the lyrics.
Uboating.de is a new web based cinema magazine from Germany.
Every issue features a new movie with trailers, making of, interviews and more background information. I was impressed by the quality of the given information. All this supported by a beautiful design. Really shows what’s possible with web TV formats.
The first issue covers ‘A mighty heart’ by Michael Winterbottom, with Angelina Jolie, starting today in German cinemas.
Wilkinson aired a new campaign called Fight for Kisses.
The hearth of the campaign is a game, where father and baby son fight for the kisses of their mom/wife with equally soft skin. What interested me more is the great trailer, which is funny as hell and transports an intense atmosphere. Really makes you curious to explore the site. Go watch it!

When you hold down the shift key you can navigate between the sections. Loosing it shows a short intro video and then opens the section where you can scroll the content with the left and right keys.
