Myjive designed and animated over 30 different online-banner and video ads all of which conformed to Federated Media’s click-tag and low file-size parameters. Our teams ability to design high-impact ads, maintain accessibility, and allow for portability to other platforms (not just online), is why we think Myjive is a solid match for Revver. We look forward to a lasting relationship with them.

If you like to create or share video, Revver was made for you. What many consider THE alternative to YouTube, Revver’s and it’s unique AD model rewards its contributors. In other words, every time someone watches a video that you’ve uploaded or shared, you could earn money. Backing Revver and their featured contributors, Myjive has built a platform of static and animated online banner campaigns. See how Myjive is helping to make videos viral - read more.

Along with the Slawsongs website re-design in 2004, Myjive has developed; a media-rich Flash video and audio portfolio, logo and identity package, album art, press-kits, sheet music cover designs, print collateral, product photography, hosting and server management, and the list continues. Brian’s web presence has been a unique production process. This site that is currently online is a cumulative result of countless revisions and additions that are literally “several years in the making.” In other words, we started small and now it is a monster!

This latest piece is a Flash-based discography section populated with Brian’s entire collection of recordings. With a cover-flow inspired interface, you can quickly access and listen to any track from an archive of albums. The best of all, it is progressive-streaming through a Flash media component, so no more waiting for high-quality audio files to load.

Myjive developed the interactive Flash platform to do just that. Any visitor can create their own character(s) by uploading an image of their face and selecting from a variety of 80’s clothes and hair styles. Once done, your characters rock out on stage.

With Ad Agency Buzztone steering the way, several viral features were included. You can send notices to friends about your new group. A mini-stage was created to be included in any social networking environment (MySpace) or blog.

Featured in Lockheed’s display at the National Postal Trade Show in Washington, DC, the media featured the evolution and features of Lockheeds’s automated parcel sorting machines. Three Phillips displays highlighted Automation/Sortation, Imaging and Recognition and Integrated Support in a 3D time tunnel.

We presented the three timeframes with 3D elements such as the manual typewriter:

We got to go crazy with the futuristic display:

The New York Times gives Hustle is “a refreshing throwback to 1960’s caper movies and series like ‘The Avengers.’ It’s slick, clever and playful…” and the The Associated Press says Hustle is “a swank, high-sheen romp.”

There is a sleek, sexy, and suave feel to the show and its characters. This is reflected in the dark, heavy shadowed treatments show here-in, giving the piece a sophisticated appeal. Hustle already has a strong following and established brand, our goals was to spice it up a little and bring in a hint of red, white, and blue. The coming season focuses on the UK based con-artists and their trips across the Atlantic… “Conning to America.”

Original Excerpt
Following the exploits of a group of con artists, HUSTLE is one of AMC’s flagship shows that give us what we all want; action, humor, intrigue, and romance. The Pros of Con pull off daringly intricate stings to swindle money from “respectable” but despicably greedy marks. Every good con comes with a devilish smile. Myjive has framed each smile and wrapped them in a slick new style, providing AMC’s hit series with a new look to start the new season.

Design Process
Josh Mason, lead designer for the project, created a landscape for the narrative to unfold. “It is always difficult to create a sense of space and depth, especially when working with two-dimensional assets. I can’t begin to express how many variations were done. The process is really about defining the current moment, understanding where you just came from and where you are going.” Utilizing fragments of video footage, the audience is brought from moment to moment by a series of dotted lines, playing the role of markers that lead you from one highlight to the next.

In commenting on the concept frames, Ron Edelen mentioned the juxtaposition of wide open spaces complimented by small areas of detail. “What’s so great about Josh’s design is that when you look back on in from a distance, there is a feeling of simplicity in form with a good amount of negative space. Yet when you get up close and examine the detail, there is a lot of information to support a narrative that takes you on a journey.” This is the first project where the Myjive team had to think about product placement. Since the production was sponsored by Jeep, photography of Jeeps had to be integrated, but done so in a way that didn’t over-shadow the narrative or impede aesthetic vision.

There are common trends and styles associated with Action Sports. With a new show package for Sportkool featuring top athletes in extreme sports, Myjive tried to reach outside of those trends. Contracted by motion graphic studio 5-X-B, Myjive developed a series of concepts that bring the audience on an adventure. Quite literally, we follow a dotted line to treasure where-in “X” marks the spot. Sponsored by Jeep, this Action Sportskool event premieres on the Independent Film Channel.

The production also included a 10 second animated opener, an icon and wallpaper section, and a multi-stack video player, using the flash media component and XML driven content. Unique to the web presence is the Roboreptile name generator. The name-gen section allows fans and owners to create a custom name for their Roboreptile. Myjive’s name-gen system assimilates the users unique entries, makes comparisons to related words in a database of Roboreptile’s native language, and based on this comparison formulates a unique name. What is your Robo-name?

The Robot Reptile Eggs were inspired by the internationally acclaimed Contemporary Porcelain artist, John Tilton. His unique Zinc Crystal process creates incredibly breathtaking patterns - something only Nature could rival.

“We had the great opportunity to work with a new Ad Agency on this project. Buzztone had a strong team of people with great ideas for how to best promote this product. We simply took their vision and pushed it to the next level,” said Albert Banks, Technical Director for the project. This is the first time Myjive has worked with Buzztone, a Marketing Agency based out of Los Angeles. Even amongst the quick turn around in order to beat the Thanksgiving rush, working with Buzztone was a killer experience. We formed some new friendships and hope to see more collaborations between Myjive and Buzztone in projects to come.

In anticipation of the 2006 holiday season, Myjive produces a comprehensive interactive marketing campaign for the Discovery Channel Online Store. The web presence focuses on Discovery’s new and exclusive product, the chroma-color release of Roboreptile by Wowee. The site features home-grown videos, a Robo Name Generator, and a custom Flash Game where users can be Robo and sling dino-eggs throughout the jungle. Roboreptile has never been cooler.

Subcontracted by 5-x-b, Myjive worked with Designer/Illustrator Josh Mason from the Chicago based “Studio of The Month.” Josh provided a great sense of direction as well as illustrated assets for this star-struck circus world. With a combination of hot-dog looking balloons, hearts, lines of sound, and boxes, the landscape for this Love Ride took shape. “It was fun to see how elements could spill out of frames - a kind of metaphor for how we can push reality to hyper-real, almost obscure levels. The shapes then began to form themselves into whirl of lines and shapes, which gave us the feeling that we where engaged in some kind of amusement ride. This was a frustrating, yet curiously fun project to work on. The content is definitely something we don’t see on a regular basis.”

What better way to spend the days then pondering over the complex energy between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? We, like so many other gossip-hungry star worshipers, feel that it is not what a person says that defines them… it is who they take to the premiere that matters. On the path to stardom, Myjive produces a melodramatic concept for E! Entertainment Television’s new show, The Love Ride.

Production for IC Media included a hybrid Flash presence with full dynamic integration of a secure Content Management System (CMS). This combination provided rich graphic, animation, and media assets with an online CMS platform that gave IC Media employees the ability to easily update content such as news, events, client features, and expedition narratives. The Content Management System was also seamlessly integrated into an IC Media Blog, providing a central panel to easily manage all elements of the IC Media web presence.

Myjive launched the inaugural web presence for IC Media Productions of which generated a huge response from the community. With a hybrid Flash and XHTML solution backed by a custom CMS, IC Media has everything they need to make this impact a continual experience. Based out of Orlando Florida, this live action and film studio is nothing but “cool.” Our story begins with Executive Producers John Copeland and Steve Kitzman becoming castaways in one of the most hostile environments on earth.

Online social networking platforms are incredibly viral, and it seems that the commercial industry has taken notice. Tools such as forums and blogs put the power of personalization into the users hands, bolstering the ability to communicate ideas, thoughts, and passions with others who share similar interests. Furthermore, we are seeing social circles becoming powerful engines for information. How does this translate to the an advertising world? Its simple… “Word of mouth.” MySpace now houses millions of “web designers” and “copywriters” from the age of 12 and up - all of whom crave to promote their own interests and share their news to others. Advertisers see MySpace as a series of fish ponds, and are now strategically placing “products” and “brand messages” into niche social circles. The user then spreads the word. It is as if MySpace (and similar social networking tools) provide Ad Agencies with a low-cost, highly efficient marketing army.

Buckling to the immense peer pressure of the social networking community, Myjive puts their CSS muscles to the test by building a custom style on MySpace. The experience has generated an unexpected buzz within the Myjive circle, connecting with people that have long since vanished. On top of that, two new characters have taken over the site and have claimed that they are here to stay. They call themselves the Plumbers, and in this inaugural launch have been fairly open about their tribute to the good old boys of Florida!
