BBC Bloom

BBC BloomBloom is the BBC’s highly interactive climate change site, conceived and built by magneticNorth. mN initially got me in to do some character animation but I ended up staying for the whole project, designing, prototyping, building and helping to turn the concept into the rich experience mN and the BBC required.

The Bloom project was the first time myself and the mN team really got into AS3. It was at times a painful experience, but well worth it.

You can see the site here: BBC Bloom

Bloom has won a crazy amount of national and international awards since it was launched (10 now, according to mN). Here’s some of the highlights, I’ll get a proper list together one day:
