Our dear friend and partner in crime Ulrik from Obey Films did this short film about the Sjælør neighbourhood in Copenhagen. We made the project website some time ago, and we still do some consulting now and then – recently we helped them connect their facebook with the website.
Today we finished a re-launch of the two websites www.samtalegrupperkbh.dk and www.samtalegrupperfrb.dk. Have a look!
The job required an interface that was interactive and easily updated by Samtalegrupper staff. For our solution we used WordPress together with a few jquery based plugins.
Furthermore we collaborated with Obey Films to create a short promotion video to be used on the website and on youtube:
This project is another result of collaborating with the other companies at our shared office space bryggen93. Five different companies and nine people now make it possible to deliver services across different (but related) areas like web, film, social media, print and/or real activism.
We are looking forward to more collaboration soon.
Discovery Channel lancerer nu en tatoveringskonkurrence som en facebook-app – vi har lavet selve appen i samarbejde med Christie fra netseeds.dk.
Konkurrencen er skruet sådan sammen at du kan uploade et billede af din tatovering og få dine venner til at stemme på dig ved at bruge diverse “virale” værktøjer. Billedet med flest stemmer vinder en tur for to til Los Angeles med besøg hos reality-stjernen Katherine Von Drachenberg (også kendt som Kat von D). Hele konkurrencen og spredningen af budskabet er dermed lagt over til deltagerne. Tjek konkurrencen ud her: http://apps.facebook.com/aaretstatovering/
Her er lidt stemningsoptagelser fra lanceringen på kontoret:
The Sjælør neighbourhood in Copenhagen consists of some 15 big and very similar buildings home to about 2500 people. There are no shops or anything else than apartments in the neighbourhood. This approach to urban planning dates back to the 1970s when it was popular to keep things apart: one place for living, another place for work and a third place for shopping. This has resulted in an area with a lot of fear and also some violence.
In short The Sjælør Helhedsplan project is trying to turn the neighbourhood into something nice with various projects, like open air film screenings, urban city mothers, sports events, and much more.
Last weekend we hosted a short video workshop during the Sjælør summerparty. We bought some very easy-to-use pocket video cameras and handed them out to the locals. You can see the results here: http://sjaeloer.dk/video
Maybe the sound quality is not top notch, and maybe the picture is a little shaky, but when locals film locals you get a much more interesting result than a “real” film crew could have done with all their intimidating cameras and boom sticks etc.
Using video in this way has been an eye-opener for us, and we will definitely use video cameras more in future projects.
