Nokia 180 Freeze Snowboarding

During Burton Snowboard’s European Open event in Laax, Switzerland, Nokia invited professional snowboarders and attendees to showcase their snowboard tricks on a trampoline, and then presented them with their own 180° bullet time videos. The Nokia tent hosted the trampoline, which was surrounded by eighteen Nokia Lumia 800s snapping shots from 180° as the tricks were performed.

Hypernaked together with Perfect Fools created the set-up. Check out a film from the event above, and a gallery here.

Kauko featured on BBC News

Not enough that our latest creation Kauko, the Internet-controlled café, is featured by both Creativity and AdAge today – it also appeared on the BBC News this past weekend. You can view the clip here.

Kauko is an initiative that lets people explore the importance of design. At youdesign.fi you can control furniture, service and atmosphere in the café, and then watch visitors react via multiple live-streaming cameras. You’ll quickly see what they like – and what they don’t. Perfect Fools and Hasan & Partners hope it all inspires new ideas about how to improve design in Helsinki, World Design Capital 2012.

Heineken: The Serenade

Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and if you don’t have a date lined up fret not – this year Heineken is coming to the rescue!

Building on the ‘Open Your World’ campaign of last year, Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam extends the party introduced in the spots “The Entrance” and “The Date” into social media, with The Serenade Facebook app made by Perfect Fools.

The Serenade app lets you ask a Facebook friend out on a date via a personalized serenade performed by Bollywood-style crooner Paul “Kiss” Kissaun, who you might remember from “The Date”. You answer a few questions about why you want to go on a date, what you will do etc., and your answers form the lyrics of your serenade (a total of 640 combinations are possible). You post the serenade on your desired date’s wall, who can choose to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ with a short Asian-flavoured film clip.

The app is now live, well in time for Valentine’s! Create your own Serenade here.
