Pickled, the Movie

A beautiful site for a new surf movie presented by Jamie Mosberg and Billabong. Inside, get familiar with the rough-edged and tweaked duotone design style. It's a great homage to the old school surfer graphics and you may even associate a certain Carson-esque influence. "8 surfers, 8 exotic locations, 1 wannabe and a jar of magic pickles". They forgot: "1 great web site".... More

Popcorn

Popcorn is a Swedish organization promoting wider availability of quality independent films. Each year over the course of several days and several venues the Popcorn festival runs selected original works in film. The site itself is tight and impeccably clean, featuring a really nice JavaScript navigational implementation that provides a randomized visual treat as you explore the links. It was difficult to actually view a film but the information about the entrants is detailed and desriptive, and provided in both English and Swedish. Popcorn sets the stage for widening acceptance of the independent film scene in Sweden.... More

The Police Inside Out

Following on the heels of the recently announced Police tour – and just screening in Japan this week – The Police Inside Out is the film by Stewart Copeland, drummer for The Police, who compiled his Super 8 footage to create an intimate look at what it was like to be in the band back in the 80's. This site promo for the film has all the elements that we love these days: a large poster style front page, wood textures and treatment, a collage of graphics and finally, big type juxtaposed with small, Japanese lettering... in fact, we can't choose which aspects we like most—they hit us on all our soft points! Well, although the site can be quite slow (served from Japan) and many of the links are external and you won't understand a word... it's still a rockin' site for this rock bands first official movie....

The Royal Tenenbaums

A fabulously bourgeois site for the coming movie that has a rich seasoning of still photos, line work, colorful flourishes and typography. Royal Tenenbaums, the site, introduces us to the WASPish family with a slightly dark design that also reveals a sense of humor and introspection. It also features some really detailed pages enhanced with the kind of Flash interactivity that money just cannot buy. Overall, the site is artistic, fun and just brilliantly rendered.... More
