Preventing abduction with viral media

In partnership with the AmberWatch Foundation and the Viral Factory, FIREANT Studio has created a streamlined system to alert parents, schools, and law enforcement agencies about child predators. This innovative tool will provide a cross-media platform for communities to share information and ultimately prevent child abductions.  To achieve this, we are creating a geo-coded distribution network to give parents email alerts when child predators enter selected zip codes.

Green Goes Viral

FIREANT STUDIO partnered with the Viral Factory to support an interactive marketing campaign for the World Wildlife Fund's Earth Hour 2010.

We developed a playback system that performs custom synchronization of 2 Flash videos based on user environmental conditions. By incorporating user webcams to detect light levels, the player toggles between videos creating a unique interactive viewing experience. By enabling seamless integration with social networking sites, we helped ensure viral distribution of the Earth Hour message.

Deck the Halls with Flash Animation

FIREANT STUDIO created an interactive flash holiday card and email campaign for The Gill Foundation.  Users were invited to create custom holiday animations to send to friends via email.  

We developed a clean interface that walked users through the process of selecting their desired layout, uploading images, and cropping for a seamless integration into the animated Flash templates.

The story was picked up by one of our favorite blogs:  The Denver Egotist - Prancing with the Stars

"ONLINE TOOL ASSESSES CARBON FOOTPRINT, OTHER METRICS IN BUILDINGS

SNOWMASS, Colo. - A new tool helps people understand how buildings use carbon and what they can do to reduce emissions in building projects. The Rocky Mountain Institute's "Green Footstep" online calculator uses factors such as the building's location, the local ecosystem and characteristics of the building to produce design targets to yield carbon neutrality, net zero energy for the site, and other goals."
