The Unloader – Nokia
Although it doesn’t come close to last year’s phenomenal Absolut Machines, I’ve got to admit that this is a delightful bit of work for Nokia, and a genius little way of saying ‘our phones can handle lots of file types’. Here’s a dead poster idea from my dusty collection getting it in the neck Ye Olde Style.
Can’t help but smile at the recycling pipe at the end as a crowd pleaser either. Nokia, Planet Huggers!
Timesculpture – Toshiba
Everyone’s going a bit mad for this one, and for good reason – but for me, I’m much less moved by the visual than I am by the product itself, and it’s a claim that’s been far too underplayed for my liking. The 200-strong camera rig that made this little bullet-time spectacle was made entirely from Toshiba HD camcorders. That you can get at Argos. For money.
Well worth looking at the site and watching the featurette. Sod upscaling – these camcorders are broadcast standard, and that is pretty damn strong.
