Snakes On A Babe
Client: Gorilla Nation
Role: Graphic Designer / Flash Developer
When: 2006
I did this in one day. The idea was silly- maybe even dumb- but sometimes, those are the best kinds of ideas. I was working on location at Gorilla Nation at the time, and we came up with the concept during a brainstorm session with the sales team, who were pitching ideas to promote the would-be cult classic film Snakes On A Plane, starring Samuel L. Jackson.
It was a huge hit- G4 talked about it on their Attack Of The Show TV program, and it was featured as an outstanding campaign in a Gorilla Nation company profile published in the July 2007 issue of Business 2.0 magazine.
It went over so well with the client, they did a sequel to the game (also designed and developed by me) when the DVD came out. I’ve archived both versions here:

I’ve only told a couple of friends this secret, but I baked into both games secret codes that would remove all the snakes. Try typing naughty words while playing to see if you can find them.
