White Gold’s Milkdonkulous Giveaway

If you haven’t checked out the Milkquarious rock opera yet and you’re into bizarre milk-oriented retro glam rock psychedelic warfare with unicorn pegasus cows, you should have a look and listen: www.milkquarious.com

The Milkquarious experience includes:

A lengthy but entertaining rock opera of high tongue in cheek production quality
Possibly more entertaining running commentary in an optional audio channel
A competition for students to remake scenes from the movie
Helpful tips for the students from the creators
A beat machine just for kicks

All in all a very impressive effort from Goodby Silverstein & Partners and Hi-ReS!

Extending the rock opera into a competition is a great idea. Have a look at the YouTube channel to see what it’s all about. Here’s the lowdown from White Gold himself:

Finally, some more screens from the movie for extra milky flavour…

Enter the battle for Milkquarious…

The man who puts the Klein in Kleinmania (one of our senior designers at Amnesia Razorfish here) was interviewed by The Publics.

“Kerning is an interesting process because it can be very time consuming and it’s usually invisible, as in you only notice it when it’s bad … To my knowledge nobody has ever died from poor kerning.”

Great view of Sydney Harbour from Mosman

Shot this panorama on the weekend from the Gunner’s Barracks in Mosman. Looks south east across to Rose Bay. Downtown Sydney can be seen on the right. A very enjoyable part of the world to sail in, I must say. :-)

Robo Brawl

Robot Wars esque game to flog Intel Xeon. Clean, consistent look and feel… nice details and overall good execution.

It feels very Disney/Pixar – would be interesting to have the rough and dirty version of this for a more hardcore audience. Something reminiscent of the original Robot Wars (not the UK tv show) which I was lucky enough to see live at Fort Mason in San Francisco back in 1997. It was a smoky, gritty, big smelly geek fest.
