The end of an era...?
Avid followers of our Twitter feed (@bioniclondon) may know we're in the middle of Sprint 2 of the City of Friends project - a pre-school site refresh for our client CreaCon. Flash has historically played a big part in many children’s sites enabling truly immersive interaction via rich web content.
However as the web continues to evolve and become more adept at providing rich content (HTML 5, JQuery, some clever Javascript application for starters) the reliance on Flash could diminish and so we've decided for this project to strip Flash down to only the (currently) very necessary areas. Even games are becoming less reliant when you look at the fantastic work out there right now check out: http://www.cuttherope.ie/. And to prove we’re no Johnny-come-lately’s to the game take a look at what we did way back by visiting Chuggington.com on your ipad/iphone. We can't wait to show you the results but until launch this one is under wraps…

Bionic's own bank job!
Back in October 2011, Endemol UK approached us looking for some help with an Interactive presentation for a new game show idea they had, known as the Bank Job!
Naturally we were only too happy to help so we mocked up the game play in Flash so that Endemol could take the game concept and present the idea to interested broadcasters, as well as demonstrate how this could be taken online so viewers could play along during live shows. We created simple animations and integrated an XML feed so that Endemol could alter the monetary values found during the game play. What we delivered was simple but very effective, with Endemol thrilled with the ease of integration and how quickly they could alter key details of the game play which made the "sell in" to broadcasters that much easier. The Bank Job aired on Channel 4 in the UK during January 2012 and we loved the small role we played in making this happen!
Workshopping
We had the pleasure of visiting our friends Creacon over in Norway earlier in the week to kick off a project for one of their hugely popular shows. With every project we undertake the first stage is to conduct a workshop day.
Workshops are an integral part of the Bionic production process involving all members of the working party where they share their views on what is required from the project. Post workshop Natalie (our Project Manager) takes away the notes sharing them across the team to ensure what was said can be done and delivered within the schedule. From here we finalise the schedule of production which is then shared with the client giving them a completely transparent view of the production roadmap.
It was a really productive 24 hours in Norway and we can’t wait to get started on the project. More news soon!

Peppa Pig relaunched!
The past three months have seen us working with our friends over at EOne on the relaunch of the Peppa Pig site (Peppapig.com) and its been live now for just over a month.
The site was completely rebuilt from the ground up - a solid framework and content management system forming the foundations of a site that now truly bridges the broadcast content with a compelling and immersive online experience seamlessly. Children can now create their very own Peppa character which is then integrated into content, they can form their own Peppa band and play games which link in to episodes of the multi BAFTA award winning show.
There’s even a little mention about us in Marketing Week - look…
We could talk about what we’ve done for ages but why not check it out for yourself?

Is this thing on? Bionic London's got a new site!
Hello! We should start by apologising. You see, we've been intending to update our site for ages but the truth is we've been a bit busy (to say the least). That said enough is enough and here we are - the all new Bionic site! We hope you like it.
We've given everything a proper clean up and you can (finally) find us on Twitter and Facebook so come on in and join the party.
We said we've been busy and that's the truth just take a look at the case studies detailing all of the fantastic projects we've been lucky enough to have worked on. We've loads of exciting and fun packed projects lined up for 2012 so stick around and we'll tell you more as soon as we're allowed to…
