  MTV Broadcast: Cowboys and Aliens Competition Spot

  The Brief:

  To create an animated TV ad promoting MTV’s competition in conjunction with the new film Cowboys and Aliens, using 50% footage from the trailer.

  The Approach:

  We used a retro, hand-printed style for the artwork to communicate the “weird wild west” mood of the film. Simple but effective imagery was selected to avoid distracting from the movie footage, animated in a fast-moving humorous style.

  Line Communications / TomTom: TomTom Intranet Promotional Content

  The Brief:

  To creatively inspire and motivate TomTom employees to make use of their new intranet and “Take charge of your own career”.

  The Approach:

  Through initial discussions with the staff it became clear that a straight-talking and succinct way of communicating the message was key. We produced a short but powerful animation showing various employees transforming into manga-style masters of their careers.

  BBC: Bitesize English Key Stage 2

  The Brief:

  Kanoti were commissioned by the BBC to create 20 new interactive educational activities for the BBC Bitesize Key Stage 2 website.

  The Approach:

  Our approach has been to update the activities and provide an enjoyable, more informal and engaging revision aid aimed at the older end of the Key Stage 2 audience. Five Flash game engines were developed to be placed within the brand environments, including for example a Crazy Golf and Catapult game. This approach allows the audience to move seamlessly between KS2 Bitesize and the more entertainment-based content of CBBC.

  The activities have replaced and refreshed the existing offering, covering the Key Stage 2 subject areas of reading, writing and spelling & grammar.  The interactive activities are based on two popular CBBC brands, Trapped and Big Babies.

  Nickelodeon: Fairly Odd Farm

  The Approach:

  Fairly Odd Farm is our second Flash game for Nickelodeon, based on their brand Fairly Odd Parents, aimed at the show’s KS2 audience.

  The game could best be described as “Snake meets Farmville – on steroids” as it merges two favourites in one fun and frantic interface. The collaborative two-player gameplay has been designed to encourage players to enjoy the game with a friend or sibling on the same computer.
