Försvarsmakten Soldat/Sjöman

Försvarsmakten Soldat/Sjömany (Acne Production/DDB Stockholm)
testsoldatsjoman.forsvarsmakten.se

In this recruitment test for the Swedish Armed Forces you use your webcam to complete a series of tests. You use your arms to wave at the objects appearing on screen, when you do so you load and activate them in different ways.

What makes the site unique, besides the awesome digitized voice over (recorded and processed by us of course), is that we created a real time connection between the interaction objects and the sound. E.g. when you start to load the objects you get a unique sound that follows your movement and the visual effects. Totally awesome (both for the experience and the usability)!

We took care of everything concerning sound on this project. Both creatively (what should sound, how should it sound, etc), audiowise (recording voice, creating sound design, etc) and codewise (unique interaction solution, implementation to site using our framework, etc). As usual.

Saab – Anything But Ordinary

Saab – Anything But Ordinary (Acne Production/Lowe Brindfors)
anythingbutordinary.saab.com/global/en/

Using all the separate mix tracks, from a specially written pop song, we created a smashing adaptive sound track to follow the user through this experience. By using all the different parts of the song the music adapts and follows your moves through out the site.

We also did some heavy sound design stuff, like externaly synced interactive sounds to all the (maaany) movie clips used to build the site. All to create some nice variation and to make it sync no matter what frame rate your computer can handle.

Småskadeklinikken

Småskadeklinikken (Soul Police/Super Tanker)
smaskadeklinikken.no

We created some hospital soap opera music to this great site intro. We also used that music to make adaptive background music to liven up the page. So good it hurts!

(For all you none Norwegian speaking people, the site is quite funny and ironic.)

A beautiful site with timelapse videos of plants growing in different soils. The purpose is to demonstrate the importance of picking the correct soil for your plants.

We made some lovely adaptive music that follow the plants growth and gives the site a down to earth feel. Of course we also did the sound design and handled all the voice over business.

This Is Swedish Snus

This Is Swedish Snus – Swedish Match (Acne Production/Abby Norm)
www.thisisswedishsnus.com

This is a truly great site about the magical swedish snus (it makes you lightheaded, lighthearted and handsome! Plz read the warning lables for complete info LOL!). We actually made this quite some time ago, it just didn’t gone online until now.

We composed sexy sexy organ music (inspired by the great Sir Julian) to grove with the host. When we made the music we were very inspired and made it super energetic and awesome, unfortunately we had to take the craziness down a bit and kill some of our darlings before the site went online. It still awesome though, so ccccheck it out!

Please help shortlist it at The FWA:

Lexus Dark Ride

Lexus Dark Ride (Stink Digital/Skinny)
www.lexusdarkride.com

As soon as we got the brief from our new found friends at Stink Digital we knew that this was going to be something amazing. Turned out we were correct.

For this huuuge interactive movie experience we created the entire interactive sound and music solution. We did some spiffy 3d sound (that follows your movements in the POV scenes), and we made sure that the sound and music adapted seamlessly to what happens on the screen. We did all the sound design (with the help of our talented friends at PLOP), Mikael Fakesch created the music that we edited, remixed and adapted for interactive use.

Bredbandsbolaget – Upplev Mer

Bredbandsbolaget – Upplev Mer (Acne Production)
upplev.bredband.com/bredbandet/

Swedish internet provider Bredbandsbolaget made a crazy song thingie site. When you push pause, the video pauses and you can interact with all the stuff that’s in the freeze frame.

What we did was to make the music seamlessly continue to play when you hit pause, but in a way that matches the freeze frame. If you pause when the guitar guy is in the picture, the music continues with a guitar based music pattern. Neat, huh?

Knullträdet (The Sexual Intercourse Tree)

Knullträdet (The Sexual Intercourse Tree) (Acne Production)
www.knulltradet.se

Well, Knullträdet should really be translated into The Fuck Tree, but I thought that was a bit vulgar to put in the headline – also The Sexual Intercourse Tree is a much funnier/stranger thing to say.

However, this is a small site that calculates how many people you’ve had sex with if you count your partners previous partners and so on. The aim is to make people aware of the aids and HIV.

We made some lovely sound design matching the graphics, we also did the interactive mix (as always), we did not have anything to do with the music on this one.

(Swedish only.)

Philips – la crème glacée chien chat (On The Go)

Philips On The Go (B-Reel/TribalDDB Amsterdam)
www.concuspourbouger.philips.fr

Je ne peux absolument pas le français. Absolument pas! Pas un seul mot en fait. Traduit cela avec l’aide de l’Internet. Sera certainement la grammaire merde bizarre. Mais, mais, ce que vous n’avez pas à être un peu drôle?

(We made this super awesome site with SUPER adaptive music and lots of musical goodies hidden in the navigation and stuff. Also, the video syncs to the music. We made the music and sound production, the interactive mix, the adaptive music solution and all the musical games/toys that can be found through out the site).

The site isn’t available in english yet, we’ll let you know when it is.

This site was a Merit winner at the One Show 2010 in the sound design category.

Axe Focus

Axe Focus (Deasign/Fröjd)
http://www.axedry.se/

THIS IS AWESOME! We created some really really really great adaptive music for this action packed game! The music changes musically between all mini games and sections in the game, and if you play well the music will increase in tempo and pitch to make you even more stressed. As a bonus Fröjd also created an iPhone app, the app doesn’t have the awesome adaptive music that the online versions has, but it still kicks ass.

This game truly shows how great you can utilize the power of music in interactive enviroments – you need to experience this (we recommend the facebook version for ultimate pleasure)!

Telenor – Test Your Mobile Behavior

Telenor – Test your mobile behavior (Garbergs/Acne Production)
http://www.telenor.se/mobiltest

A really nice, clean site that test how mobile you are. The site is based on a voice over that talks about interesting stuff and ask you questions about your mobile behavior. We saw to it that the voice behaved natural and that you could feel the presence of the talker even when he wasn’t talking. Lot’s of things to think about throughout the whole process (starting all the way back with the script and the site flow)! Of course we did the sound design for the site too.

Don’t hesitate to ask about how we can help you create better and more natural voice overs for your campaigns!
