You may have seen the brilliant adverts that inspired the quiz on your tele. Well, the evil geniuses behind these at 4Creative approached us to turn this into a real game. OK, a real, virtual game.

Now, virtual pub quizzes can be typified as either having quality questions in a distinctly low-tech, un-atmospheric surround or they’re high on cheesy bells and whistles with questions that don’t particularly challenge or inspire. Our aim was to produce a high standard quiz in a context that reflects the production values we associate with the TV ads and with the More4 channel.

And thus the More4 Really Quite Clever pub quiz was born. Play on your own, play against another customer or challenge one of the More4 team to a fiendishly difficult specialist knowledge quiz.

The Twitterati were enthused by its sheer addictiveness, citing hours of revision and work lost. Go on, have a game, though make sure your boss isn’t watching. Oh, and look out for the odd cameo in drag in the loos… you’ll never watch Channel 4 News in the same light again.

This is a cinema website in a league of it’s own… it’s a joy to navigate and has a lovely editorial feel. It quite simply reflects the quality of the product.

Client: HanWay Films. Agency: Franki&Jonny.

Directed by John Amiel. We developed the strategically and visually elegant online campaign for ‘Creation’ – the epic story of Charles Darwin’s personal and professional 10 year journey to publish ‘On the Origin of Species’ starring Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly.

The site evolved (of course) from a simple production hub that brought together all ‘Creation’ and ‘Darwin’ related online and social network activity into one official thread alongside the production assets as they were released…

… to a fully fledged campaign site 2 months prior to release that offered users a more immersive experience. You are invited to navigate the extensive production assets with an elegant magnifying device.

We also invited users to submit facts about Darwin to our interactive map. Did you know Darwin once ate an owl?

Client: Pathé. Agency: Franki&Jonny.

This is a template for how we think a successful online campaign should operate. We started gathering and creating content during production taking advantage of the energetic young cast.

We built them a toilet / confessions cubicle in which they gossiped, sang, graffitied and generally confessed all… gave them Flip cameras to capture improvised in-character pieces… all the kind of candid, behind-the-scenes insight their teen fan-base craved.

We rolled this content out in the months up to release via a blog, a podcast and of course the website, featuring a suitably sassy yet dark immersive interface.

Here fans could grab their favourite character’s content in the form of a mobile phone widget.

We love consistency. Social network pages were all branded consistently giving the presence of a much bigger film. We were even able to use some of our stars cubicle graffiti to create the titles…

The campaign was Pathé’s most successful to date.

Injecting a bit of old school glamour into Unanimous Pictures’ new identity (formerly Halcyon Pictures) was an absolute pleasure.

It’s hard to believe but the website, with its silky smooth animation, is entirely built in HTML…

Client: Celluloid Dreams. Agency: Franki&Jonny.

We were brought in to develop this site at pre-production and as a result were able to run around the set gathering materials, generate exclusive EPK footage and generally live and breathe the project. We had input from Sir Kenneth Branagh, the costume designer, the cast and everyone in between. We then got to work creating an amazing collection of playful musical, educational content. Our brief from Celluloid Dreams was to create a “place to play” and we really hope you do.

Directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza. The site for this hit Spanish horror film enables the user to pick up the camera and go on their own journey around the quarantined Barcelona apartment where the film is set. We built this journey entirely from re-editing the actual film so the user is inadvertently exposed to masses of exclusive footage.

The site won an FWA award, Creative Showcase and received masses of interest from all around the world. Nothing like a bit of dynamic blood splatters to get people going!

Client: Metrodome. Agency: Franki&Jonny.

Directed by Niels Mueller. On 22 Feb 1974 a middle class American man, a husband and a father, hatched a plot to fly a passenger jet into the Whitehouse to wipe out Richard Nixon. Sean Penn brought this man, Sam Bicke, to life in Niels Mueller’s film. For the UK release, we placed this story in the wider context of modern US history, allowing the viewer to build their own picture of the time.

Our unique interface delivers a wide calendar of events across 80 years. From patriotism and self-help in the multi-level societies of the 40’s and 50’s through the Nixon years and the loss of innocence right up to 9/11 and on to the film’s release. To support the website and drive traffic to the viral we also designed our own little red books – full of pertinant self-help tips and the ramblings of Sam himself.

The site won an FWA and Creative Showcase awards, the book got a journalist arrested on the tube.

Client: Warner Bros. Agency: Franki&Jonny

Creating the website for a film based on the faked Roswell tapes and starring everybody’s favourite TV stars Ant&Dec, was a chance to do some really fun, silly stuff…

The interface is inspired by the fake alien autopsy scene in the film – the navigation allows you to carve up an alien with a butter knife to find bowling and blagging games, viral quizzes and downloads.

It was awarded FWA Site of the Day and is also included in a book called ‘A Guide to Online Success’ published by Taschen.
