Oktobor wins another FWA Site of the Day Award
New Zealand visual effects and animation studio Oktobor today announced that the interactive music video website (left) it recently created for NZ rock band Shihad, has won the Favourite Website Award (FWA) Site Of The Day Award.
UK’s FWA is an industry recognised award program, established in 2000, showcasing websites who use cutting edge technology, together with inspirational ideas, that lead the way for future generations.
The FWA Site of the Day Award is the second Oktobor have won in 2010 with the Erky Perky website (bottom) they created for Ambience Entertainment also winning the same award in March this year.
Oktobor Digital Design Director Matt von Trott said: “We are delighted to have won the FWA Site of the Day Award for the Shihad Sleepeater website. This website is a very good use of the online and digital mediums and has proved very effective in both cases. The website is also hosted on a streaming Flash server which dynamically picks the correct streams based on the user’s connection making it quicker and more efficient to experience.”
The website and video for the single uses a unique interactive aspect built around a grid of 100 fans dancing and enjoying the song with visitors able click on any one of them to bring them up to full screen.
