Faerie Planet

th1ng has created its first App. Its a fun Augmented Reality App that lets players find, friend and collect faeries. Having worked on creating elements for Apps for advertisers, we thought it would be fun to make our own.

th1ng animators worked alongside our App developers to create this charming game. You can spot faeries through the camera on your phone and use your virtual net to catch her, set her free and she will find and collect more faeries and earn faerie gold. Faerie Planet also includes Mysties, a special faerie messaging system, which lets you draw or write a message that your faerie will send to friends in your Faerie Planet address book.

The app has already gained some great reviews across the internet. Alexia Umansky on the App Store said: 'It's the cutest game, and so rewarding when you find the faerie! Sending messages to friends, though, was really fun!'.

Faerie Planet is free to download but has an in-app purchase to upgrade to the full version, and can be downloaded via ITunes.

For more info on this and other Apps, please contact Dominic Buttimore.

th2ng's The Queen wins the first ever Sundance London Short Film Competition

The duo Daniel Lumb and Crinan Campbell (The Queen) are proud winners at the first ever Sundance London Short Film Competition for their five-minute short film, Extranjero. The announcement was made today and the film will screen as part of the official Short Film programme at the festival.

Extranjero, shot over just two days, gives the viewer a unique and unusual take on immigration as it follows a refugee trying to run from his past as well as the confusion in his own mind.

Daniel Lumb explains his idea behind the short film: "I wanted to comment on people you don’t really know about, and Extranjero was the result. Winning the competition is a dream for both us. As film geeks it’s amazing to be associated with Sundance.”

Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival, said: "Ultimately the jury selected Extranjero for its commanding cinematic storytelling and arresting visuals that offer an alternate perspective on an imperative global issue.”
