THE G:KND EXPERIMENT (part 5)

THE STORY CONTINUES!

So we had our 

Galactic: Kids Next Door 

teaser/trailer/pitch video all done!

Now we needed a website to launch it on.

So I brought in some old school web building talent,

a sooper pal who I knew before 

Codename: Kids Next Door

was even a twinkle in my iced coffee:

Mr. Rob "Bear" Eberhardt.

Mens Corporation File Photo circa 1995

He's the guy that taught me about 

computers and stuff in the first place.

And I think he might have also invented the internets, too.

Or maybe he just showed me where the internets is.

I can't remember.

Regardless... 

he was definitely the right guy for this project.

We decided that if the g:KND

were going to have a secret portal website on Earth,

they'd put it where no one would expect it.

Somewhere sooper round and oh so chunky!

And can you believe that no one

had registered:

RAINBOWMONKEYS.COM

I mean,

REALLY?!

So we registered the heck out of that

and started sending ideas back and forth:

We talked about what the g:KND log-in would look like...

and that's where we started needing mr. moore's

lettering and numbering system!

I built most of the graphics in photoshop

and Rob added awesome animation, 

sound FX and much more to make it rock.

I spent a lot of time writing up the tags and responses for 

all the different log-ins.

Which was sooper fun.

The big idea was that if you typed in the word

GALACTIC

then it would take you to a 

"hacked"

section taken over by anti-g:KND operatives.

There'd be some mysterious alien type

and what looked like a countdown.

And we wanted everyone out there to ask.

WHAT IS IT COUNTING DOWN TO?!

Remember...

this website was just going to pop up

with no explanation.

There was no way for anyone to know that it was 

made to launch a sooper secret show pitch.

We wanted to start a conversation.

We wanted people to ask questions.

We wanted 

HYPE!

But how do you get people to come to a website

without telling them directly?

I'll tell you about that next time.

Right now ima get 

some lunch.
