Flash video for Jupiter Christmas card 2006 – Easy peasy origami

For the festive season in 2006 Jupiter asked us to give their clients a helping hand with their origami Christmas card. Jupiter’s clients received a card sporting Father Christmas without his famous boots – shock horror. They were asked to “use the way of the dragon” and embrace their (as yet undiscovered) origami skills in order to create a new pair of boots for the big man.
We filmed a complete easy peasy origami sequence and combined it with simple animated illustrations showing how to make the correct folds. The mini site allowed Jupiter’s clients to stop and rewind the video and animations. It was all controlled using timecode chapters combined with some clever ActionScript and a heavily customised video playback component.
We created two versions – a bonkers speeded up version (just for fun), and a version at normal speed. Mr Miyagi would have been proud.
