A VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY
CURRENT PROJECTS
We are excited to announce our participation in the following campaigns: 127 HOURS, BLACK SWAN, LITTLE FOCKERS and HARRY POTTER 7!
Scott Pilgrim
For Universal Pictures film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, W/DG created a rocking avatar feature for fans of the upcoming film and the comic book series. Users can create epic avatars of themselves, friends, family, or fictional characters that they can share via social networks. The popularity of this feature was enormous in size as within hours of it's launching tens of thousands had added their personalized avatars to the gallery. All illustrations for this feature were designed and developed by our in-house team.
Inception
Enter the dream. W/DG teamed up with Warner Brother's to create a feature for their sci-fi action thriller Inception. Using customized options users are able to create their own movie posters that they can upload and share via social networking.
Gentlemen Broncos
Prepare to Explore New Worlds...The official Web site has launched for Jared Hess's latest opus! W/DG created an online presence for Gentlemen Broncos with Fox Searchlight. The site relays the fun, hilarity and uniqueness always present in Jared Hess films. The site was built using Papervision3D and other next generation Flash technologies.
Crazy heart
The Harder the Life, the Sweeter the Song. Watson D/G brought to life a site that captures the emotional tone of one man's struggle through fame, misfortune, and music. In addition to the site, the Crazy Heart theme song, "The Weary Kind," was used to create a fan driven music board. Individuals were encouraged to upload and share their own version of the award-winning song written by Ryan Bingham and T-Bone Burnett.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
W/DG joined forces with Paramount Pictures to create the web experience for the high-tech summer action spectacular, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The full site, building off the character-centered teaser site design, is a dense, immersive experience realized with Papervision3D and other next generation Flash technologies. These new technologies allow visitors to explore dynamic, animated 360° panoramic viewscapes of G.I. Joe and Cobra environments.
CHOKE / 2009 KEY ART AWARD FINALIST - NEW MEDIA: "BEST WEBSITE"
For Fox Searchlight's adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's Choke, W/DG needed to create a site that, like the book and the movie, mixed highbrow and lowbrow, the sacred and the profane. The site needed to mimic the sensation of stumbling upon a beautiful painting in a seedy strip club bathroom. The site's surreal touches place you inside the mind of the conflicted, sex-obsessed lead character (played by Sam Rockwell). One special viral flourish that W/DG created is the Word Hurl widget. After selecting from an assortment of nouns and adjectives, the Word Hurl fills in the blanks to reveal a custom salacious, self-loathing monologue.
W/DG was nominated as a finalist for "Best Website" at The Hollywood Reporter's Key Art Awards for our work on Choke.
TROPIC THUNDER VIRAL CAMPAIGN / 2009 KEY ART AWARD WINNER - NEW MEDIA: "MOST BUZZWORTHY"
W/DG faced an epic task for Tropic Thunder, creating more than a dozen different sites that expand on the movie's universe. This included personal sites for the lead characters and official movie sites for their previous acting roles, including the site for the prestigious, taboo-breaking "Satan's Alley" and the site for the wildly flatulent "The Fatties Fart 2". Sites were also created for a plastic surgery center, a wildlife rescue foundation, and a special effects company. One of the most popular sites was the blog of the movie's fictional documentary filmmaker, which includes extensive original videos and written commentary. Each site needed to be realistic and believable, but with a touch of the absurd to sell the jokes successfully.
W/DG's work was honored with the "Most Buzzworthy" award and named a finalist for "Best Digital Media Campaign" at The Hollywood Reporter's 2009 Key Art Awards.

W/DG designed a series of mordantly funny posters with AMV/BBDO for British apparel company, Hen Shoes.
