Puppet Pals / Mobile App

Rain partnered with Polished Play (http://polishedplay.blogspot.com/) to create an interactive puppet show that users can enjoy anywhere.

Puppet Pals allows users to create their own unique shows with animation and audio in real time. Users simply pick out their actors and backdrops, drag them onto the stage, and tap record. Movements and audio are recorded in real time for playback later. The creative possibilities are endless. Users can act out a story of pirates on the high seas, fight as scary monsters, or play the part of a wild west bandit on the loose.

Skullcandy / Virtual Room

You’ve heard the phrase, “I feel like my head’s going to explode.” Rain dreamed about what something like that might actually look like, and we made that little dream come true with Skullcandy’s Virtual Room. At its heart, this app is an incredibly effective example of branded utility – a way to virtually try on Skullcandy’s Aviator headphones before you buy them. We added the exploding head option for an added, buzzworthy twist. That buzz worked better than anyone expected, causing a 700% increase in traffic to the Aviator headphone page almost immediately upon launch of the app, lots of attention in the press and blogosphere, and a Gold Addy. More importantly, it resulted in a sales spike that was greater than the activity surrounding the initial launch of the Aviators a few weeks earlier. That’s sick. In a good way. And a bad way, if you count the exploding head.

Skullcandy / Mobile App

Gives you all the information you need to take to the hills, waves, asphalt, and dirt, not to mention some sweet A sides to shred to and a community voice for the skull nation. We worked our a**es off on this one, and we think it shows. Evidently, so did the folks at the FWA.

Take / Opening Titles

Take, a film starring Jeremy Renner and Minnie Driver, explores the lives of a death row convict and the woman whose life he affected so deeply. Charles Oliver, writer and director of the film, was looking for titles that would hint at how lives can be destroyed through desperate, ill-conceived actions. Rain’s titles illustrate the hollow ache and emotional decay that surround all parties involved in capital punishment.
