King

Alright, Lowe was here today and talked alot about advertising on the web. Was very interesting and fun to listen to. After that we had our interview with KING Solution, was great to be there, se their place and talk to them, our videocamera ran out of battery so we had to use our digi cam only and write down his answers, wich Daniel did fast as the wind. We got a whole new point of view of the business and heard so diferent things but still similar to what we heard before.

We decided to take the rest of the day of cause of some personal stuff people had to take care of and pick up our project again tomorrow. All but David headed back to school for some blogging and try to figure out what Daniel had wrote during the interview, Niclas was gonna start see if he could solve the problem with the vide camera transfer to a mac. Let's pray that he solves it.

Middle of the week, second interview

Alright, we are in the middle of the week and got our second interview done today. We droped by Lowe Brindfors and met up with Patric and Patrik, a manager and a web AD. We had a great dialog with them, at first Patrik said that he only could stay for aprox 10 minutes but after 35minutes of intensive interviewing he was still there talking with a fire in his heart. That felt realy great, we also got a quick guided tour around the place and were able to take some more pictures and clips for our presentation.

A quick lunch with a realy nice steak it was time for Mattias Hansson to enter the stage and talk to us about internet history and media history at the web. An interesting speach that helped me get a larger view of the business.

Videocam trouble, that kinda concludes the whole afternoon, it's 19.21 now and we just found out (trough google) that our brand new videocam that school have bought not is supported by Imovie 6.0.4 but we need to upgrade to 8.0, wich cost around 80 dollars for a company license. Thank God David S have a pc so we can transfer our clips to an extern harddrive and try to convert the format into something accepted by a mac.

First interview

We had our first interview today with Tony Högqvist from Perfect Fools. Everything went very well and we got about 25minutes recorded, 3 more interviews to go! We also talked abit about how we where going to cut it down and create our aprox 1-1,5 minutes long presentation, got a few ideas discussed and agreed with some After Efects work atleast, something like the "why Hyper Island" video on hyperisland.se

First project

Today was the kick of for our first project at school, after 3 weeks of introduction and individual/group developing. A short presentation of the project and then of to the meeting room. Information Society is our first project, to place the worlds point of view of the business on our own Hyper Island business map. We chose to work with Stockholm as our geographic area and started to look for som big and interesteing companies with focus on web, illustrations, motions, print and so on.

The phones got warmed up pretty fast after alot of phone calls to diferent companies trying to get a meeting with them, we did also send out a mail to some companies wich we couldn't reach by phone or the person we where looking for was simply not avaliable at the time. Wile we were waiting for answers we started to put our heads together and think of some questions to ask, starting with the 4 pointers we got during the presentation of the project.

After a quick lunch at McDonalds and some more phone calls we managed to get a total of 4 companies to meet us this week for interviews, and still waiting for a few more to answer our mail.
