Honda Insight – Let It Shine

April 27th, 2009, No Comments

Vimeo again confirms its awesomeness by colaborating with Honda in presenting their newest ad – Let It Shine. They decided to create a totally mindblowing effect (built in Flash) to makes your experience while watching the ad better. Wow.


Here’s the link to the ad – HD is highly recommended. Now tune up your speakers and enjoy the commercial. Again – awesome.

There’s also an interesting story behind the ad itself (not what Vimeo did), quote: Hundreds of headlights are used to build one of the world’s largest LED screens. Check out another video.
And, sorry guys, but YouTube sucks comparing to what Vimeo does.

Gameloft’s crap for the iPhone

Gameloft

I was totally ok with Gameloft making copies of their games on other platforms to the iPhone. They had to start with something, and that looked like a good opportunity. But now they definitely should stop with this shit and get some people to make their products at least a bit innovative.

We got Symbian OS, we got Windows Mobile, and finally, we got iPhone OS.
I think we all are aware of a fact, that this last one is a bit different – completely margined approaches to user, set of features and quantity of devices. Products for these platforms should be handled completely differently – controls, graphics…

Developers from Gameloft just don’t care. Recently they released Assassin’s Creed for the iPhone – looked huge on the beginning, but as always with their products, it came out as copy of same game for Symbian OS (proved, been testing it with a E61 owner), which is slightly stupid considering their experience with creating games for iPhone.
