Blue Platypus Webfomercials

A Webfomercial, sometimes called a Web Advertorial, is longer than an interstitial, yet considered an end in and of itself. The ones you see here were developed using Shockwave and Javascript.



Amazing Beans
Web Advertising Pays Off

Our first client, Van De Craps Foods, wanted an advertisement which demonstrated the benefits of their groundbreaking new Pop-top CanTM design.

We recruited the acting talent, drew up storyboards, and produced their ad on schedule and under budget, using Shockwave and JavaScript to deliver the goods.

While Van De Craps had some initial reservations about producing this ad, they grudgingly agreed to fund the project.

Three days later, we proudly presented our first Webfomercial, which was immediately accepted by the Van De Craps CEO!



Shockwave Beans
The Bean Wars Heat Up

The new JavaTM Beans component architecture has inspired us to write some Shockwave Bean Objects. To get the message out, we produced and are distributing this Webfomercial to improve brand awareness.

In this inside look at coffee drinkers, our setting is the breakfast table. We are watching a taste test, between brands Java X, Java Y, Java Z and coffee brewed from Shockwave Beans. Which brand will Frank prefer?
