Hi-Def Solar Panel Hoo-Hah

Nothing says FUN like the following combination of words:

Applied Materials Sun Fab Installation Demo

Awwww...YEAH! We just completed it last week - and we're still trying to catch our breath. Actually, we're just trying to catch up on our sleep.

Have a look - it's a big file so go grab yourself a large coffee while it downloads (it will help you make it through all 3 minutes):


It's one of the few High-Definition projects we've had the opportunity to develop, so it's kind of important in that regard. It's also the most work we've ever produced in under 3 weeks. It's a bit rough around the edges - and in all of those areas between the edges - but it's done, and supposedly, someone will be sending us a check. Which is nice.

I like to joke that every job here at Flinch has that cursed moment - the moment where we just get a dose of pure bad luck or horribly crappy timing that threatens to take the whole job down and put us all in the looney bin - but we always get through it. It's one of the reasons we named our parent corporation Cursed Entertainment Inc.

This particular project bore the curse from the third day in, and carried it to the finish line. In every job where the budget is miniscule and the schedule is tight, there just comes a point when you have to say "no". That's when I'm the bad guy.

If you haven't already seen the" Good Fast & Cheap" chart, here's a folksy retail version.

Nobody likes having "the chart" pointed out to them.... but as always, the job came out looking better than they expected, and they showered us with praise, and they'll probably win another award (same client as the Edison job I mentioned a few blogs back).

Best of all, I got to work with a great team of guys, some of them for the very first time.

Have a look, let us know what you think,
