A joyous, easy to use, interactive animation created by award winning indie filmmaker Joanna Priestley, who has been called the "Queen of independent animation". Each click on a turquoise clam shell reveals a vividly colored animated treasure. Pulling on pointed wall objects and bouncing zoetropes will eventually complete this organic, abstract universe. Once everything has been opened, a lovely surprise emerges.
Dubstep composer Seth Norman (Triage) created a rich soundtrack for Clam Bake, which builds as the elements come to life. Norman says: “I think of Clam Bake as the virtual equivalent of being like a child rummaging through another kid's toy box. My focus as a sound designer was on creating small, attention-grabbing snippets of audio that give the user a feeling of surprise and discovery with each click as they dig further into the app. Creating the sound for Joanna Priestley's unique interactive world was a great opportunity to explore a wide range of techniques, sources and styles.” Clam Bake was made possible by the patience and programming skills of Jed Bursiek.
