Imagine a time where everyone goes to work with a tube on their backs or in their bags. The tube unravels and you have this to consume your media, even a touchscreen too.

Watch Your Own Heart Attack - British Heart Foundation 2 Minute FilmAugust 10 2008

Here's the 2 minute British Heart Foundation 'Watch your own Heart Attack' film below. Screened once on British TV on evening of Sunday 10th August. The film was directed by Brett Foraker at RSA Films, my employers and stars Steven Berkoff.

'The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is leading the battle against heart and circulatory disease – the UK’s biggest killer. The charity is a major funder and authority in cardiovascular research. It plays an important role in education, both of the public and of health professionals, and in providing life-saving cardiac equipment and support for rehabilitation and care'.

Dirty Water World Vision ViralJuly 16 2008

I don't often post content we've produced at RSA Films, where I work, but this is definitely something worth shouting about. Here's a hard hitting viral embedded below we made for World Vision and the agency Meteorite, to emphasise the fundamental importance of clean water for daily life, sanitation and hygiene and how 1.1 billion people worldwide are without this basic human need.

The film which can be seen at here has taken the seeming normality of a typical first world family scene and subverted it to play out a nightmare scenario.  It's a developing world issue transplanted to a first world context with a horrifying conclusion. Today 1.1 billion people will have no choice but to drink dirty water.

Thanks to an accident of birth, we're not one of them.

But what if you were? If you had to wash the dishes with it, bathe in it, drink it - and ask yourself this question-if you had to give dirty water to those you love knowing it could kill them, would you?

Here's the youtube url or there's the worldvision embed here so please spread and forward on the message to all.

Will Wright talks about his new game SporeJune 28 2008

Spores 3D Creature creator

For those outside the gaming world ‘Spore’ is the latest project from Will Wright one of the game industry's most fertile minds and the creator of the groundbreaking SimCity and The Sims, which has to date sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Wright has created the the Spore 3D creature creator with over a one million creatures being created in the space of a week.

Asked what he wanted people to get out of spore Wright said, “One of his goals for this whole thing has been to give somebody an awe-inspiring global view of reality, almost like a drug-induced epiphany with a computer. The kind of, "Oh, man, what if we were a molecule inside of a galaxy?" type thing. Can we transfer that experience -- that, I don't want to say drug-induced, but I guess it is, or almost theological meaning-of-life-type experience -- into an interactive computer game?
