A member of Cannes Lions Cyber jury speaks on why Alexx Henry Studio’s “Viv Mag Motion Title & Interactive Spread” was awarded the Gold Lion in it’s category.
“The Viv Mag motion title and interactive spread is an an astonishing use of work that has stood out from the very beginning of the judging process. It’s a few weeks already and it has constantly ranked very very high because it’s just a very new experience, a new way to look at not only the iPad but how we deal with content in terms of combining written pieces with animation and new depth to the content which is absolutely astounding.
So what it really does is to show us a very clear path to the future and I have to say we were all very excited about it because its showing a new way not only for publishers and magazines, but obviously also for advertisers and the way we look at a print ad evolving into a new medium and how it can actually can be driven into a much much more experiential area.
So this is really an absolutely fascinating work it is a the very beginning but we are all very convinced that this is leading the future now. “
When Kodak first announced they were no longer making Kodachrome last year, we lamented with a small tribute to Saul Leiter, one of my favorite photographers that embodied this classic filmstock.
Well now, its truly the end: Photographer Steve McCurry recently processed the last roll of Kodachrome ever produced by Kodak, at Dwayne’s Photo in Kansas, the last lab on the planet to process the iconic film. This is from that roll:

Together with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung, we produced a motion magazine cover and feature spread for Viv Mag – an all digital magazine, which would allow us to create content that will be able to live on the iPad and other tablet devices where digital magazines can live.
Our collaboration with Cory and Ming has been a phonemonal experience and you’ll see a lot more great work coming from this team. Check out this featurette, which goes behind the scenes and shows how we put it all together.
Special thanks to Campion for taking a risk with me. Without the bravery of a good client, we wouldn’t be able to bring you work of this caliber.
Extra special thanks to B2Pro Lighting, Red Camera & Jarred Land.
Extra extra special thanks to Chuck Carey and the good people at Troika Design Group without whom we would still be waiting for renders.
It has been very busy this month at Alexx Henry Photography and we have a couple of great projects to share with you in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile… we’ve been named photo studio of the month at Samy’s Camera this February and our friends at Obscura Digital have lent us a Multi-Touch Display to help show off our work.

Here’s our “Living” Magazine Cover and Spread released with the October issue of Outside Magazine. Photographed with the Red One camera, we created our vision of how a motion-magazine of the not-too-distant future would look based on emerging technologies like flexible OLED and E Ink.
