The Creative Poster Challenge
As the recent creative ticket challenge was such a success, we thought we’d bring our talents to bear on redesigning a film poster. And while the challenge was strictly fun, thoughts of huge dairy milk bars were very much at the front of our minds.
Well, some of us.
*The Brief*
Like some of the best films (and […]

Early morning in Frodsham
It’s a cold wet morning in Frodsham, and we’re putting the final touches to the lovely set built for our latest viral.
The attention to detail is magnificent, and is only enhanced by the slight drizzle. Looking forward to a good day’s filming, lots of shouting, and if the rumours are to be believed some…

Some of you with beady eyes may have seen the story we are featured within, in the issue of Crain’s Business out today. The piece is about the the creative ways (we nearly wrote ‘wacky’ there, but thank god we stopped ourselves) PR and marketing agencies attract talent. We have been cooking up the idea…

Football nerds unite
With the start of the Premier League season here at last, there will be a last minute flurry of teams signing up for various fantasy football leagues all around the world which begs the question of how best to spend £75m worth of virtual cash??
While it is easy to think that all fantasy mangers are […]

Greetings From Frodsham
A few of us went location scouting yesterday for a video project we’ve got coming up. Basically we were looking for a rural location that could be dressed to look as unpleasant as possible.
Our first stop was a farm in Lymm, which aside from being…

Books or Online Tutorials?
There has been mild debate in the office recently over whether we prefer online tutorials or the traditional printed word. This has been sparked by a recent subscription to Lynda.com, an online resource of video tutorials.
It seems that Lynda hasn’t been used as much as hoped or expected. But alas, this is not because we’re all too lazy to learn, on the contrary we’ve all been too busy to participate in 8 hour tutorials on designing fonts, modeling gorillas in 3DS Max or building a spaceship using only PHP and a dashing of AJAX (yeh I have no idea how you’d do that either).

Will you be our friend?
We’ve recently created a Facebook group and would like as many friends as possible (we have self-esteem issues you see). So if you’re a Facebook user (and these days who isn’t?) then please join our gang.
As well as including screenshots of recent work and posting blog links (probably not much use to you, seeing as you’re already here) we’re also using the group to advertise careers at Flame Digital. So if you fancy joining us then please check it out here.

Hot Links - 07/08/08
Excuse our tardiness, the communal watch stopped last Thursday and we don’t know what day it is. Not that it matters, because within seconds you’ll be distracted by the stunning set of links we have for your delectation.

Does anybody care what you have to say?
Blogging has evolved, transformed and broadened massively over the years. I wouldn’t like to say ’since it was invented’ because, well it was never ‘invented’, it has just ‘become’, biologically… like a living entity. Anyway, enough semantics.
The origins of blogging have long since been lost in the mists of time, it is maintained that only scholars know the true reasoning behind the now extremely popular web activity and in some cases - business. I personally have only been blogging since January this year, and am constantly learning new tricks, styles and trends.
But blogs come in all shapes and sizes - news, tutorials, reviews and previews, gimmicks, rants, advertising, photography, showcases and generally a lot of personal opinion. I stress that last item - personal opinions.

Hot Links - 25/07/08
Not only are the links hot today but so is the weather here in Manchester. That’s right - North West England + Sun!
I’m going to dive in, running through in chronological order the links that have been circulating the Flame office this week:
When children’s names get crazy… http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7522952.stm. Girl’s parents get high one night, decide to call their kid ‘Talula does the Hula from Hawaii’, 9 years later the kid goes to court to get it changed. Only in New Zealand!…
