Overview

Stripped is the concept for a small multimedia tool, which gives the user control over the video and let him have fun with a short self-controlled video sequence, which always reacts different dependent on the path the user takes. Popular web 2.0 sites today, like the Search Site Ms Dewey and the ad spot watchmechange.com from GAP, incoperate exactly this concept - give the user fun and entertain him.

Our little spot allows the user, to decide in which order the actor takes off his clothes. Only point and click with the mouse to the piece, which he shall take off, and accompanied by music he’ll remove it. Our character is only wearing clothes which are important for him, with each garment he reveals something new about himself. The application will also contain information about each piece.
