While I was in Hawaii working on my tan and buying coconut purses, previously-blogged Aaron Leighton was in Cannes accepting an International Interactive Emmy (a new branch of the awards to recognize interactive projects from around the world that utilize both television and the Internet) on behalf of the team behind the Zimmer Twins (Leighton is the Creative Director). And from this story on his blog, a local train strike almost prevented him from getting to the ceremonis on time. It was like Run, Lola, Run, but without any killing. And less running. But an award at the end!
Actually, due to a tie, Leighton shared this award with another Canadian company, Xenophile Media, for their project called Re-Genesis. You can watch both teams accept the award here. Congratulations to everyone!
