My vote goes to this commercial for Electrabel (Belgian Energy Provider).

It really caught my attention when they first played it on national television and I think they did a splendid job of getting the message across. The scenes with the children are well done, just take a look at the details. Like the kid that’s passing a ham sandwich to the driver in the truck (beautiful shot):
..and the two boys that smile at the girls. They are really acting like adults, even the expressions on their face. Brilliant!
btw. Music is by Cat Stevens - Where Do the Children Play?

Some little wtf-project, making use of the twitter search API and reading & parsing an Atom Feed into Flash (or Flex) (Actionscript3).
The results are sometimes fun to read, here are some tweets that passed in just a couple of minutes:
“Jesus, what’s wrong with you?”
“Jesus had weed carriers — they were called disciples back then ROFL”
“Jesus dude, hope youre doing fine”
“Jesus Christ. That four hour nap at 6 pm was not a good thing”
“I bet Jesus is Tupac’s nigga. Bet he got to Heaven and was all like, “Whaddup my nigga!?” And Jesus was like, “Whaddup my nigga!!”
I made a screencast of a new project we’ve done at Televic Education (together with Indie Group). It’s built with flash and written in AS3, we also used AMF remoting for communication. It’s an online project where you can load maps that consist of different themes and layers that you can hide/show. It’s built to use on smartboards and interactive whiteboards, but you can just use it online as well. It’s built for 2 educational publishers Plantyn Belgium and Wolters Noordhoff (The Netherlands).

-This is my first screencast (after 23 attempts, I got one that I think is pretty much ok, still need to work on my articulation though ;)-

Hi, I’ve been busy lately. Went to Brighton, UK for flash on the beach and we moved with Televic Education from the Pottelberg to Marke. I’ll get to the KISS principles one day, I promise!!
Just about a week ago our manager set up a meeting on our new Televic Education location in Kortrijk (Marke). We all expected an informal meeting but it turned out he left us with an assignment. He went shopping and bought some paint and some framed canvasses to paint on. In two weeks everyone should have painted something to brighten up the empty walls of the new office.
Today I finished mine:
The painting consists of 2 chinese characters who make the line “teach and learn” which is our product slogan. I guess it turned out ok.
