You can’t miss the latest flurry around a new experimental online film experience by Chris Milk (director of Who’s Gonna Save My Soul). I shouldn’t say too much for chance of spoiling it, but you begin by typing in the address of your childhood home, hit play, and enjoy a personalized film experience that doesn’t disappoint. Chris uses popup windows to reveal different shots in a magical way with real-time animation and an interactive intermission to boot. It’s a beautiful blend of filmmaking and interaction design with a deep understanding of the web environment and how it’s boundaries can be stretched and manipulated in unexpected ways.
