Description

Making use of the remaining space on a giveaway audio CD single, this enhanced compact disk was intended for anybody who has an audio CD player, or computer with a CD drive. We repurposed existing material we had created for the Crash Test Dummies website, as well as material gathered and assembled exclusively for this project (interviews, behind-the-scenes videos, Quick Time Virtual Reality). The project had to be cross-platform and therefore had to conform to the limits of the then-current technology. Videos were kept small and used sparingly. The games were kept simple and interactive.
