The Archive
Forty projects from the plugin era and after — microsites, rich media, installations, and spare-time experiments. Most of these ran on platforms that no longer exist. The screenshots survive, exactly as they were.
Nissan – “Future Z” microsite
In the early 2000’s, Nissan was set to relaunch its fabled “Z” model. Chiat was tasked with creating the microsite to build buzz and provide enthusiasts with a few tasty media bits prior to the launch of the 350Z.
Indian Motorcycle – site
A website created to promote the relaunch of the Indian motorcycle brand.
Sony Playstation – “Primal” microsite
An immersive environment to introduce the user to the characters and experiences of the new Sony Playstation game Primal. Utilized cut-scene video for level transitions.
58hours
Initially thought up as a project where I could use a ColdFusion beta (I’d never even touched CFML), once the ColdFusion beta expired, it then became a project for me to learn PHP and mySQL… I then later went on to make a (throwaway) port of the site in order to learn .NET.
Sony Qualia – site
A website for Sony’s upscale boutique brand of home electronics.
Sony Playstation – Jak II: “This is Jak’s World”
Rich media with an in-ad game promoting the new Jak II Sony Playstation game.
Sony Playstation – SOCOM: Hellweek
Take a dozen Playstation gamers, fly them to the Naval base in San Diego. Film them going through Navy SEAL training Hell Week. Make a site about the experience.
Harman Kardon – Drive + Play

TBWA – tbwa.com
Corporate home for TBWA Worldwide. Flash configured itself via a configuration file, which was generated by a TBWA-made CMS admin area. Map/location section utilized Flash Remoting (AMFPHP flavor) to sort/filter through the huge number of TBWA offices before drawing to screen for the user.
Breville – brevilleusa.com
Flash elements created for the showcase and menu navigation areas of the Breville USA website. My very last lines of code and bugs quashed for Avenue A | Razorfish involved integrating the Flash with their existing JSP-based eCommerce system. Link to archived site here. + Flash development + Platform integration
Adidas – Boston Marathon – “What’s Your Reason?”
A Flash kiosk application created for deployment by Adidas at the 2007 Boston Marathon. When in place, allowed the user to enter their “reason” for running, take a photo (using the kiosk’s onboard camera), and receive a takeaway one-sheet containing (amongst other things) their photo, their reason, and a splash of Adidas branding.
Avenue Fighter
Constructed over two days at Adobe Flash Camp 2008. Avenue Fighter is a political-themed Twitter-controlled street fight done up in classic 8-bit Nintendo “Street Fighter” style.
eBay Motors – Motors Mashup Unit
A dynamic display ad that took data from the eBay Motors API and displayed said data using the Yahoo Maps API. Geotargeting was used in ad trafficking, allowing the map to initialize at the user’s approximate location.
Ask.com – In-banner Pinball game
It looks a little chintzy, but YOU try fitting a physics engine, sound AND good graphics into a non-rich media ad. Final ad size fit nicely under the 40k limit… coming in at a svelte 37k
Nike – “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
An interactive video rich-media ad which follows a woman on her morning run. As she moves through the seasons, her wardrobe changes and a selection menu is displayed behind her. At any given moment, the user can select from the product menu, see details about that particular product, and (if they wish) go directly to that product’s page on the Nike Store site.
Hello There
Combine Adobe AIR with Bluetooth with BlueCove (a lightweight server capable of relaying said Bluetooth data) and you get the, (maybe) cleverly-named “Hello There”. When running, it constantly scaned for Bluetooth devices in-range & made note of their device ID.
Nike – dynamic display advertising
Dynamic display advertising campaign created for (the online) Nike Store. Applied concepts of polymorphism and runtime compositing to create a lightweight shell which pulled in the proper visual and text assets depending on the configuration received from the server.
RandomHours
The successor to 58hours. Where 58hours was devoted solely to Radiohead (and coded according to the single-band premise), randomhours is able to handle data for countless bands. I basically took everything that I’d learned about data-organization
Affiliatør
Affiliatør didn’t get much further than one day of development. This proof-of-concept was born when I had account people telling me about how affiliates were creating their own perverted versions of current eBay ads. I thought to myself “What if eBay affiliates could just download an app that would let them create their own ads with their own copy… but using our design template?
Kimera GPS
Pronounced like “chimera”, and modeled after said word… Kimera GPS (“glyph pack system”) is the codename for a process I created wherein “font-packs” are compiled on-demand by the server and fed to dynamic display ads in the wild.
Ask.com – AskDeals.com
A microsite where visitors could record video of themselves (via their computer’s onboard camera) singing along with the AskDeals jingle track and share the resulting video. The home/landing page of the microsite played an seamless & endless loop of all submitted tracks.
Nike – Holiday 2009 “Chaser”
Created a WordPress-powered site for a design group in LA. It’s that’s navigable via either desktop & iPad. http://canyondesigngroup.com
eBay – Oxford AS3 Codebase
A reusable AS3 codebase, used to create dynamic display ads for eBay. Packages up all of the service calls, load management, asset/font management, etc into a nice little package that’s fairly lightweight and super-easy to integrate into each project’s Flash creative.
Lexar – “When Memory Matters” microsite
Microsite created for Lexar SD card products. Utilized Flash’s 3D capabilities and runtime asset loading.
Roadtrip Dashboard 2010
Hypothetical scenario: You’re about to take a one-way roadtrip from San Francisco to Omaha… Your girlfriend expresses concern… worried about you driving too much, worried about possible road conditions… Possible solution? My Roadtrip Dashboard!

Phenomblue – “Daydreamer” digital installation (Kinect)
Using the Microsoft Kinect for sensor input, Adobe AIR for display, and a number of open-source drivers/frameworks for everything in-between, Daydreamer was a digital installation project that allowed the user to create music and visuals through moving their bodies.
Phenomblue – Mr. Manager mobile app
An internal cross-platform smartphone app for use by Phenomblue employees. Aggregated several internal services and provided a web-service-fed employee directory. Also implemented push notifications.
