The Wrangler Blue Bell Jeans ad website includes an interactive component that allows visitors to the site a chance to "scrub" the video by touching the screen or moving the mouse about.   The ad was designed by KOKOKAKA Interactive, a multi-award design company.

I just had to grab my video camera and filmed a few minutes of "play"!

I found information about the techniques used in the creation of the Blue Bell ads in the comments section of the KOKOKAKA/BluebellInvention YouTube channel:


"We are going to release the new Spring/Summer 2010 website for Blue Bell next week where we using a new kind of interactivity where you can click on the model in the film and drag him around. This video shows you how it works."


"We're using a technique where we synchronizing the mouse position with the character which we think creates a more intuitive way of scrubbing a video. You simply drag the character to move it. We haven't seen it done yet but please send us links if you find anything similar!"


"...Everything is done with AS3. It would be possible to do even with AS1 and 2. I think it's doable in HTML5 but unsure about quality differences.  Everytime you stop scrubbing we load a hires still on top of the movie, should also be possible in HTML5. Full screen could be difficult with HTML5."

Interesting blog roll and links on Christian Zoellner's TUI Blog by FORM+ZWECK; FILE Electronic Arts Festival

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 04:13 PM PDT

Christian Zoellner blogs about "tangible interaction & new interfaces" on the TUI Blog by Form + Zweck, a design magazine.  Christian is a designer and "presearcher" who lives and works in Berlin, Germany.  He teaches at the University of Fine Arts, Berlin. He maintains the Christian Zoellner website.

As I write this post, Christian is attending the FILE electronic arts festival, which focuses on "interactive art in public spaces, game design, and sonification".  It sounds like a fantastic conference! The festival is actually a group of events:  File Machinima, File Documenta, File Media Art, File Hypersonica, File Games, File Symposium, File Prix Lux, and workshops.

Lately I’ve been looking for some backup software to do what SyncBack Pro does, seeing as my father purchased a copy for himself when I posted the coupon a little while ago. I’ve been simplistic in the features, at least compared to Dad, because of the fact that he needed something that ran on his [...]
