Autotopsy: “Point of Impact” from Jam3 on Vimeo.

Lies unravel and truths float to the surface as collaborative interactive studio Jam3 put you in the driver’s seat to promote the gritty new Showcase series, Cra$h and Burn.

Autotopsy.ca is an innovative digital experience that challenges visitors to play the part of forensic crash investigator Jimmy Burn in order to unpick the story behind a multi-vehicle pile up. Part game, part narrative experiment, the visually stunning site offers a host of interactive video content alongside character case studies that provide hints and red herrings alike.

The idea behind the project was to build something strictly for online consumption that was completely different than your typical trailer site. We wanted to create a piece of interactive content that would give viewers total control over the way they experience the story and explore the supplemental plot strands.

You need a lens review? – go to Ken. Today I read an interesting article there and what it all came down to is basically this:

I almost never meet anyone who discusses photography. Instead, people discuss camera profiles, Photoshop plugins and HDR regression algorithms, but no hobbyists seem to realize that the only thing that matters is what you see and do before you click the shutter.
The more you’re thinking about gear, the less you can think about the picture.

This is the article

I think that since they are now number 1 BBC should broadcast them uncensored – I mean people bought the uncensored version, didn’t they?

I created this short video in about 24 hours to promote limited edition issues of Very Nearly Almost magazine with screen printed covers by D*Face. The campaign was very successful and the limited edition copies sold out within 20 minutes.
