Get Out and Play, Nokia strikes again
April 25, 2008
Last year Nokia and FarFar created a faux tailor shop (Henry Needle & Sons) to show off the Nokia N95. This year, they have created yet another engaging micro-site to promote Nokia’s latest N-series phones and the N-Gage platform. This new site is well worth visiting even if you’re not in the market for a new mobile.
Get Out and Play is based off the Nokia game “Snakes” and features over 1,000 people in a very cool stop-motion animation. No special effects, similar to Sprint’s “light drawings.” There is even a great interactive game featuring the stop motion characters. All this goodness is to promote Nokia but again, regardless of your interest in their products this site is worth visiting.

Henry Needle & Sons – Great Pockets
July 15, 2007
One wouldn’t think a tailor shop would be a likely candidate for a high end flash based website. Well Henry Needle & Sons are tailors of a different breed. They have created high fashion items to carry all your high tech toys and a site to compliment their handy work. Besides the beautifully done flash/video based site they provide a sense of humor and character to an often forgotten trade in todays mass produced commercialism.
They also make a strong case for Nokia’s N95 multimedia cellphone. Instead of needing great big pockets to carry your MP3 player, digital camera, camcorder, GPS navigator, and cellphone the Nokia N95 puts that all into their latest top of the line phone. Sure enough this site was created by FarFar of Sweden for Nokia to promote just that, Nokia. But what an amazing job they did with it. Even the transition from farce to direct promo are entertaining to watch. You’ll want a broadband connection to get the most out of this site, but the attention to detail alone is worth paying a visit.
When it was first launched Nokia was barley mentioned anywhere on the site. As this campaign continues they’ve left a number of blatant breadcrumbs to point out that the site is to promote the N95 phone.
