Peek Under the Hood at Big Spaceship’s Process
Conferences are only as good as the people speaking and presenting at them. So Flash on Tap is lucky (and smart enough) to have attracted a stellar line up of speakers. We got a sneak peek at Big Spaceship recently in New York City. As you probably know Big Spaceship is a digital creative agency who has mastered the process of telling stories and starting conversations in the digital world. Their skills have helped them win nearly every creative advertising award possible. The firm started in 2000 in Brooklyn—the current hotbed of creativity in NYC—producing websites for Miramax movies. They quickly built a following in the movie industry for producing effective sites.
What makes Big Spaceship so effective, and listening to them share their story, so inspiring is that they’re focused on the digital world but aren’t beholden to it. Most impressive was the balance of technology and craft exhibited in all the pieces Michael Liebowitz and Joshua Hirsch shared. It wasn’t enough to figure out how to make something work it was equally important to “make” that something. One example is their own trailer made from paper in stop action with lots old school features and techniques. It’s sweet! And screams craft (in a good way).
Big Spaceship was also quite clear about their motivation—we want to have fun. Because having fun is what drives their passion and when they are passionate about what they are doing they produce great quality work. In the end, fun leads to quality and for Big Spaceship, success.
At Flash on Tap Jamie Kosoy, Associate Technical Director, is going to give you a look at how they collaborate simultaneously to create all those award-winning projects. Don’t miss this chance to peek under the hood of this stellar firm’s process and maybe learn something new!
Cheers!
