The Snoveo iPhone app hits the iTunes store

The blog’s been a bit quiet since the new year but that certainly doesn’t mean we haven’t been up to much. Quite the contrary, you might have seen us streaming Burberry’s Prorsum Autumn/Winter 2010 Menswear show in Milan. If you missed it, you can still check out the upcoming collection. You might notice some great coats to keep you warm on your winter holiday.

And if you’re heading to the mountains for the holiday, be sure to check out our new Snoveo iPhone app that just launched today to rave 5* reviews on Apple’s iTunes app store. It’s the only free app to feature piste data and weather conditions (including a 5-day forecast) from over 250 resorts. And of course it features regularly updated video snow reports from more than 20 of the world’s leading ski regions.

Videojuicer and the Ice Bear

The Copenhagen Ice Bear, Melting, melting…

Sad but true, the newest Ice Bear will be meeting its demise. Our own producer Matt Jolly has left England to witness this tragic event for himself, but more importantly, he’s setting things up so you can watch it too.

If you’re not aware, the bear is a life-sized ice sculpture of the hunting Arctic polar variety. Over a number of days it will melt, leaving a bronze skeleton, a pool of water and (hopefully) a powerful environmental message. Anyone at the centre of Copenhagen’s Nytorv (New Square) will be able to reach out and touch the Ice Bear, themselves becoming a sculptor – “symbolic of how we all have the power to affect our delicate environment”.

You can watch this real-time sculpting and melting and sculpting. It will be streaming live, 5th – 17th December, at Telegraph.co.uk and NewScientist.com where you can join the WWF International’s Big Tent & Arctic Exhibition (and maybe catch a glimpse of a UN Climate Change Conference delegate).

Digital Mission! Videojuicer scores a trip to LA and SF

This week we wave a short but significant farewell to Steve Jelley as he jets off on a week-long UK Trade and Investment mission to Silicon Valley. This is a coup for us: Videojuicer was one of a handful of companies selected by industry specialists for the Digital Mission, which runs from 11 – 16 October. Promoted and tended by the digital industry community Chinwag, the mission visits LA and San Francisco, meeting industry contacts, gatecrashing networking events, and strutting their stuff before the likes of Warner Bros, Sony Home Entertainment and Facebook.

Steve and his new friends (and some old friends – Mark Rock of Audioboo is going along) will also attend some ‘digital receptions’ at British Consulates. ‘Digital Mission companies are encouraged to participate in the local digital scene,’ says Chinwag’s website, lest we missed the point.

Way to go with CBeebies Waybuloo

Now, this may look like a straightforward new-media partnership, but the more you explore Videojuicer’s latest creation – an official website for the hit CBeebies television show Waybuloo – the more you uncover some startling synergies.

Waybuloo, in case you didn’t know, takes you on a journey through stories of co-operation, friendship and enjoyment – just like Videojuicer’s own corporate website. It’s set in a magical land with lots of trees and plants and mossy banks and trickling streams. (We’re near a canal.) And Waybuloo’s loveable CGI-ed Piplings each live in their own pod. (Ditto. Videojuicer is an IT company, after all.)

If you’re in London and you want to see the Piplings in the flesh, pop along to Hamley’s: their October window display is only the beginning of Nok Tok, De Li, Lau Lau and Yojojo’s media saturation masterplan.

Burberry takes live-streaming “to a whole new level”

“It is well known that fashion writing is one of the most difficult jobs in the world, right up there with brain surgery and astro-physics. And so, Grazia took a peek at the comments. Here, we review the reviews….”

World First II

Burberry’s first ever live stream of the show from London Fashion Week

live.burberry.com

6.30pm, 22/09/09

Burberry – the 153 yr old global brand synonymous with British luxury and durable glamour – has abandoned its usual Milan fixture in favour of London Fashion Week’s 25th Anniversary celebrations.

The brand will unveil its new Prorsum Spring/Summer 2010 Womenswear collection on 22nd September, 6.30pm, bringing the event to a dramatic finale.

This medieval inspired collection sprung from the Burberry Equestrian Knight trademark logo which was developed in 1901 containing the Latin word “Prorsum”, meaning forwards.

And in keeping with this spirit of innovation, for the first time in the history of Burberry, Videojuicer in conjunction with Monterosa will be streaming this show live for a worldwide audience.

Burberry has often opted to work with actors instead of models, and rumours are afoot that new Burberry belle Emma Watson, of Harry Potter fame, will be making an appearance.

In the Autumn 2009 collection Watson perfectly evoked the quintessential Britishness, purity and refined strength of the luxury brand that has taken the world by storm.
