Hitchike with a Like is a Facebook app that I worked on for Tribal DDB Worldwide with the chaps at B-Reel London. VW Beetle wanted a game to celebrate the 21st Century Beetle and its heritage. Players can spend action points on journeys around Europe and can win prizes by entering competitions along the way. As part of a team I worked on the Flash front end and the game mechanics. The app went on to win a Site of the Day award on FWA.
I finally got around to doing a bit more work on Money Timeline. I use this app to keep track of what I’m spending my money on from month to month. I recorded a mad rambling walkthrough for your amusement. Do I really sound like this?

My girlfriend suggested I use a budget to keep a better grip on my finances. I never got around to doing one because I got sidetracked by making an AIR app which imports my bank statements and visualises my expenses over years, months and days. It was great fun to create a tool which I actually use and looks nice!
DDB Paris conceived a site that would highlight the danger of super loud headphones! We created a 3D sound experience that immersed the user in a nail-bighting rescue attempt. My role was to support the lead developers by taking on a few of the sections of the site. The end result can be viewed here:

It won an FWA and was shortlisted for a Cannes Lion.
Norwegian telecomms company Tele2 decided to promote a mobile phone package by setting the world record for ‘longest phone call’. We created a site to support the live event. I did the flash development and worked closely with another developer to create a wordpress based site that allow the public to experience the record attempt in realtime.
We overcame some pretty major challenges to create a website that could be updated dynamically for the duration of the event. We had 5 FMS feeds on the site that the users could switch between at will. Admins were able to leave updates about the live event on a timeline which also rendered the viewer stats for each competing couple in graph form.
