The kmotionmedia.com website has been selected by the American Design Awards (ADA) for the month of September (just announced last week) for excellence in website and interactive design.

The American Design Awards (ADA) is among the top internationally recognized design awards organizations, and perhaps the most popular independent awards organization globally with more than 35,000 submissions annually.

The award is given monthly to a small percentage of entries.  Kmotion Media received the September 2009 award for excellence in design, which is scored according to creativity, effectiveness and practicality. 720 entries worldwide were entered and out of those only 40 were selected. Kmotion Media's entry ranked fourth, earning a Gold Award and placing above such prestigious websites as Converse.com and Weber.com. We are (needless to say) extremely honored to be chosen for this prominent award and are very humbled to be recognized alongside some of the industry’s largest and most-prestigious digital advertising agencies. The site is a full-screen video website experience. Part art installation, part visual experiment and part creative showcase, the site takes advantage of the latest in web technology, digital video compression and design to offer an ever-changing full-screen video experience.  The site currently features more than 15 random video backgrounds unique to the site – including a spoof of a 1950’s Martian movie which depicts a flying saucer over Green Bay’s classic Sky-Lit motel, a favorite video of site visitors. See if you can find the flying saucer (hint: hitting the “reload” button on your browser resets the background movie selection): www.kmotionmedia.com

Kmotion Media recently worked on Oshkosh Corporation’s “Rumble With a Cause” HD TV commercial. The Karma Group, an experienced branding group based in Green Bay, hired Kmotion Media to assist with production and post-production. The final spot is a mix of motion graphics, 3D animation and visual effects.

Kmotion Media recently worked on one of the first local HD TV commercials to air in the Green Bay market.  HVS Advertising - Marketing, a local advertising and marketing group with their expertise firmly rooted in broadcast messaging, hired Kmotion Media to do the motion graphics, animations and editing of the spot. Why Some HD Looks Better Than Others The world of HD is very complex, and knowing how to correctly work with HD files during all phases of production, post-production & delivery are all key.  (You may have seen some HD spots that look incredibly crisp and vivid, while others are less impressive.  Lack of expertise in the technical side of HD production can be to blame for poor display.) The Results Jesse Kujava, one of our creative and technical experts, was instrumental in overseeing all aspects of the spot's HD workflow, including working with Channel 5 (WFRV) to develop the optimal compression and delivery method for the spot.  The resulting HD spot now airs taking full advantage of the visual capabilities that HD offers.
