The Superbowl is coming to NJ – and no wonder brands are flocking to the new stadium to leave their mark in an indelible fashion. HUSH is currently engaged in a great project with SapientNitro NY to develop some great game play animation content for an 82″ (yeah, that’s huge, see the blue tape on our wall above) multi-touch gaming experience for installation in the stadium. Buy your tickets, if not for the Jets/Giants, then to play with this big screen yourself!

I watched this movie on the plane ride to #cannes. I should have slept instead knowing the week that lays ahead. Even so, it was a great reminder of the role technology plays in our cultural zeitgeist (I really wanted to use that word) but can also so quickly date us. It started me thinking about how we view technology at HUSH…
We don’t make it; we harness it. There’s a big difference. We’re constantly evolving, learning, and challenging ourselves to explore new platforms. We broke outside of the TV with our first job. But it’s a never-ending battle. Our passion is developing brands, visualizing ideas as designers, putting things in motion as lovers of narrative storytelling. These passions are technology agnostic – but absolutely, undeniably predicated on understanding the technological platform.
I have to say though, Gecko’s phone might have been a tough nut to swallow.

We are usually the first to nix the word “viral” from our vocabulary when talking with potential clients. Anything viral is only deemed so by the crowd, not by brand or agency behind its creation. And even those things appearing to “go viral” are nearly always manufactured – a complex system of seeding and syndication creates the appearance of virality to the uninitiated. But despite that word, when a good idea comes our way with a good technical platform to boot, we can’t help but jump at the opportunity.
We spent the last two weeks developing a project that mixes Dr. Strangelove with Airplane, all skinned in a paper craft world of our art directors and production designers. I think it’s a nice blend of satire, absurdity and craft. You can’t say that every day. Stay tuned for shameless self promotion over the interwebs in the hope that this thing goes “viral”

Thanks to the students from BYU’s graphic design program for stopping by the studio. I hope we made the idea of life after school a little more inspiring! Thanks professors too, of course!

In a truly epic win for DUMBO, kids, sugar-lovers and local dentists, Dewey’s candy store is now open. All manner of colorful, sugary, chocolatey goodness awaits. All in the very same building as HUSH HQ! yikes…
