We created a three story high guitar hero style game played with footballs, to promote the latest <a href="http://www.kasabian.co.uk">Kasabian</a> single Underdog. We drafted in a team of extremely talented freestyle footballers to play the game, headed up by <a href="http://www.woodyandkleinyfreestyle.com/">Woody and Kleiny</a>. The pair starred in the hugely successful documentary ‘<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1051231/">In The Hands Of The Gods</a>’, in which they busked their way to Argentina to meet their hero Diego Maradona.</p> <p>You can <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmjijvX50FQ">watch the behind the scenes piece here</a> to find out all about how we built the game. It was loads of fun to do and the whole crew ended up playing it obsessively in between practice sessions and takes.</p> </blockquote>http://tumblr.phildearson.com/post/220920427http://tumblr.phildearson.com/post/220920427Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:43:09 +0100footballkasabianguitar hero<img src="http://13.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krviz2C92u1qzpgopo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Food Glorious Food</p>http://tumblr.phildearson.com/post/219187559http://tumblr.phildearson.com/post/219187559Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:54:38 +0100lyrafoodsign<p>If you were asked to prove your knowledge of digital and you were only allowed one Powerpoint slide, what would you do?</p>http://tumblr.phildearson.com/post/214049602http://tumblr.phildearson.com/post/214049602Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:11:37 +0100powerpoint<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cbEKAwCoCKw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cbEKAwCoCKw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>The world’s deepest bin. “To throw rubbish in the bin instead of onto the floor shouldn’t really be so hard.
