Better Place

July 28th, 2008

Making the world a better place, one battery-powered electric vehicle at a time. The Blind team recently partnered with agency Addis Creson to create an opening animation for the Better Place web site to help spread the vision of sustainable, zero-emission transportation as a service.

To learn more about the Better Place plan, check out the Wired magazine cover story this month, or to get directly involved in the ongoing effort to help people live free from oil, visit the web site at: http://www.betterplace.com/.

From Engadget, read more about the billion dollar plan to bring a city-wide electrical grid and battery exchange service to the Bay Area. 

New York Times writer, Thomas L. Friedman, writes the op-ed piece “While Detroit Slept” in reaction to the bail out of the big 3 automakers, in lieu of innovative companies like Better Place. Founder, Shai Agassi, recently announced partnerships with the state of Hawaii, Israel, Australia, the San Francisco Bay area and Denmark with plans of electric cars hitting the road in 2011.

Here’s an interview with Shai Agassi as reported by CBS News: Link

Nice work. The visuals and music (cheers, glue!) married well with my copy. Thanks for helping us make a bold yet graceful argument for such an important cause.

re: joe's question --> the car turning part was done in maya, but it probably could have been done in after effects as well
