Lecht community site goes live

As part of our complete redesign of the Lecht 2090 resort website, we've just completed work on the new community area, intended to unite skiers, snowboarders and mountain bikers in their own network.

The pages can be seen at http://lechtscotland.ning.com - take a look - it's good stuff :)

We've got a strong feeling this is going to be a very good season - both in terms of snow and in terms of the Lecht site.

Christmas is definitely in the air

Which can mean only one thing - we must be nearing the time that Deepblue unleashes a new Christmas message to our clients.

This year we've somewhat pushed the boat out.  Stay tuned to see just what we're producing.

In other news, the new 3daberdeen.co.uk site is almost ready to for release.  We expect to have it done in the next week or so - not that anyone will notice anyway cause it's that time of year that food and drink takes to the fore.  And why not indeed :)

Lecht edited 3D videos

Just in case we forgot - and yeah, we actually did forget - there are now two new versions of the 3D videos we produced for the Lecht ski centre online now at our YouTube page.

The first is the Lecht 3D summer animation which has been cut to a unique soundtrack. The second is another render, this time a 3D animation of the Lecht in winter - again, this time put to music.

We've got another little surprise on the way too . . . but it'd just be telling if we said anymore about it right now.

Check back in the next week or so to see something truly unique ;)

www.lecht.co.uk winter website goes live

We're not fans of hyperbole - but equally, this is actually rather good. We've just completed work on the new Lecht winter website which can be seen at www.lecht.co.uk. The site features live web cam zooms and a panorama as well as live weather, road, snow and run reports.

Better still though, the site features some of the best 3D modelling and animation you'll see this side of Pixar . . . yep, the line about not liking hyperbole was a total lie.

But - and still a relatively big 'but' - this stuff is actually mighty impressive.

BTW - the new deepblue site is due to go live in the next few days too - as is the full Rigmar site.

Thistlecouriers.com also continue to rise up the listings under various searches for UK couriers and Scottish couriers.

Whew - busy times!

UK courier company results

A web marketing undertaken by Deepbluemedia to help promote Thistle Couriers under the search term UK Courier companies has begun to gather pace with impressive new results.

In addition, we've also had great success with the term courier companies and Scottish couriers. We'll keep you posted on progress as the new results begin to filter through from our work.

definitive - the best snowboard game ever

Yep - yet another work-oriented post but it has to be done :).

Stoked is officially the best snowboard game ever.

A few months back we said it was Shaun White's outing - but then we got Stoked.

Released in the US about a year ago, we were held in high anticipation of Stoked finally shipping over here.

Like so many films, tunes, books etc this was a major release and anticipation was high. Personally, I always find there's direct correlation between hype and disappointment - one feeding off the other. The most hyped things normally end up being the biggest disappointments.

Not so in the case of Stoked.

If you've been riding before, you'll get it straight away. If you've never been riding, you soon will after playing this great, great game.

Truly a marvel of programming, design and 3D, this game is a wonder to behold.

Not since the early days of Amped and, particularly, Amped 2 has a game truly captured the essence of snowboarding.

Ride for style or huck to glory - the game actually remembers how you play and unlocks attributes based upon your particular technique.

Better still, how about this . . . certain things in this game are actually weather-dependant. Just like in real life, not all lines are possible until the snow comes. Yep - this game actually has next to real life changing weather patterns. Wait for that huge dump and go riding in waist deep (no kidding here btw) powder.

If you only buy one game this year, make it Stoked. Sure, your love life, social life and general health will likely suffer from hours glued to your plasma . . . but then all good things come at a price.

Take a sabbatical from your friends, expect your dinner to be in the dog, say goodbye to daylight hours. Who needs them anyway. Xbox calluses are way more entertaining.

Oh did we fail to mention one last killer feature . . . you get to fly your own heli. Scope a spot and fly to it. How good is that?

Don't just take our word for it - here's the link http://www.gettingstoked.com/

webdesignaberdeen.co.uk goes live

After months of doing next to nothing with the domain name http://www.webdesignaberdeen.co.uk, we finally found the time over the quieter Aberdeen holiday to get some material in place and, in our opinion, produce a rather natty new website :)

The site went live on 20th July 2009 and features extensive links to all our work - past and present. We'll be adding more sections to the page over the coming months but, for now, to take a look head over to http://www.webdesignaberdeen.co.uk.
