To round off this series of blog posts about the MAX Unawards application I thought it would be fun to compile some outtakes and bloopers.

Oh… And here are a couple of fun facts I didn’t tell you yet ;-)

• Wim didn’t bring any black shoes to the studio so he’s wearing my sneakers. They were at least 3 sizes too big ;-)
• I spend a total of… wait for it… $700 on this application. The majority of that was for the studio rental.
• We rented the golden jacket.
• We bought the golden shirt.
• Wim took the golden shirt home and apparently his daughter absolutely loved it.

I had a lot of fun creating this application and I hope you have at least as much fun watching the videos and creating your own MAX Unawards video! And now… If you haven’t already created your own MAX Unaward now may be a good time to do so! All you need is an internet connection and a webcam. Just point your browser to http://max.adobe.com/widget!

Life in a Day
A few weeks ago YouTube and Ridley Scott announced a new project called Life in a Day. They asked everyone to record one day: July 24th. 80.000 videos were submitted to the project and YouTube just launched the official gallery which is viewable as a 3D sphere or a simple tiled list.

Vacationer
YouTube also launched a new branded travel channel. The new YouTube Vacationer travel channel includes videos with travel tips and advice from experts from National Geographic, Travel Channel, Howcast, and more. It features videos from Caribbean, European, U.S. and Canada, and “exotic” destinations. The interactive “Vacation You” feature allows you to create your own video for your dream vacation… Oh man… Watching these videos made me realize how much I’m in need of some vacation time… Until then I guess YouTube’s Vacationer will have to do… ;-)
