Lodger MTV Equalityzone.org viral animations

Equalityzone.org is a flash site dedicated to stats about women, news about women and promoting equality for men and women worldwide. There are lots of interesting fact nuggets hiding on the site which sadly, I can't link directly to since the whole thing is a one-url only flash-package, but dive into the different countries to find trivia you never knew.

Try New Zealand for example. :)

Lodger, the Finnish band & posse with a history of creating cheeky animations like I love death where old men harass young women as both the opening scene and punchline, has created four films for Equalityzone. It's Hannes Häyhä, who is the bass player of Lodger that makes the animations.

All films are available in the commercial archive, but also out on the web, large Quicktimes here: Click here to watch 'Hamsteerwheel',
Click here to watch 'Gulliver',
Click here to watch 'Balancing'
and Click here to watch 'The frog prince' which seems to be a euphemism for fellatio.

Flash files of these animations can be downloaded straight from Equalityzone.org.

Full disclosure, I worked on this as a freelance Art Director consultant.

Design agency "Now Wash Your Hands" launched in 2001, founded by Tim Spear, Neil Jeffries and Angus Mackinnon - their first "offices" were Niel's kitchen.
