The time has come: after the action-packed start of our online campaign for the film From Paris with Love the viral aspect of the campaign is now active. Here the user can test how much “Wax” he is. Edited film excerpts are shown and the user can see if they are on the same wavelength as Special Agent Charlie Wax (played by John Travolta) by predicting what Wax will say next. Depending on the number of correctly answered questions the user is assigned to a certain Wax-category. Via Facebook Share and Tell-a-Friend functionality, the users can publish their quiz results on Facebook and share it with friends.
And how much “Wax” are you?

After the peaceful underwater world of Unsere Ozeane, our newest project for Universum returns us to the hail of bullets again in the form of From Paris with Love, the action-packed new film starring John Travolta as the unorthodox secret agent Charlie Wax.
At least as awesome and entertaining as the movie is the online-campaign (including concept development, website design and banner campaign) produced by GSDH. The official movie site includes the trailer, an exciting gallery and a reminder service, as well as background information about the story, characters and cast which will provide the user with insights into the high-action world of secret agents. There are great downloadable goodies like the From Paris with Love Screensaver (get it here).
The result is a site which fully captures the action-packed spirit and style of this film: Welcome to Paris, Baby!

The South African representatives at this year’s Design Indaba ended the conference with a bang and presented quality work that South Africans could be proud of. Two companies working with puppets; The Handspring Puppet Company, and the controversial ZA News, showcased innovative work in adult puppeteering.
The Handspring Puppet Company presented the puppets that they created for the incredibly successful West End London play entitled “Warhorse”.

For “Warhorse” the Handspring Puppet Company created life size horses that could easily be manipulated by three puppeteers. The Company managed to created cane horses whose movements are so life-like, that it has to be seen to be believed. Watch the trailer to “Warhorse” here and interviews with the creators here.

ZA News headed by the legendary political satirist Zapiro was next. No stranger to controversy, Zapiro and co-creator Thierry Cassuto are the driving forces behind a satirical political show entitled ZA News.

Featuring all our favourite South African political characters and the satirical gold mine that is South African politics, the show makes for a highly entertaining adult entertainment.
