I'm Not Obsessed!
Vera Sweeney, Owner/Editor of I'm Not Obsessed!, is the "nice guy" of the celebrity blogging world. If you're looking for a positive spin on celebrity gossip, you'll find everything right here - including our newly-added features such as User Groups, Buddy Lists, Polls and Favorites, turning this site into both a blog and a community. The project was another WordPress-to-Drupal migration by As If Productions, and gave us a chance to play with the "Organic Groups" module and related toys. |
WordPress-to-Drupal Migration
The Bastardly
Another recent conversion from WordPress to Drupal, this popular celebrity gossip blog was recently listed by MAXIM among the best examples of "pervarazzi" websites. Make no mistake: the Bastardly Crew do not idolize their celebrities; they prefer them skewered. Or naked. Or skewered, naked. Features include buttaface brownbags, the bikini body face-off, and the Bastardly Boob Reviews (wonder what those are?) The Bastardly is (usually) safe for work, but you probably won't want to share it with your mom. |
The MUSE Campaign
A Drupal-based Community and News portal for the non-profit organization Cool Our Planet, the MUSE Campaign is based on the simple concept of sharing music to save the earth. MUSE Contributors include not only musicians but bloggers and visual artists as well. [continued] |
Joint Oceanographic Institutions
In spring 2007, AIP created a mini-web of mini-Drupal sites (seven sites in one) for Joint Oceanographic Institutions (now the Consortium for Ocean Leadership). This system allows personnel from each of the organization's seven programs to separately manage their own page content, press releases, multimedia files and newsletters. Art Design by Janin Cliff Design. Javascript and cross-browser CSS wizardry by Tofa Kagurabadza. |
Drupal Demo
Starting with a standard Drupal 4.7 installation, we provided PHP and AJAX Scripting, Database Development and CMS Modifications for this advanced proof-of-concept demonstration. Design by Brandon Maseda. Produced by Marc Danziger for Tryarc LLC. |
Under Suspicion
"Under Suspicion" is a modernized remake of the French cult classic "Garde a Vue", a story full of dark secrets and psychological twists. The site was part of the marketing campaign for the motion picture of the same title, starring Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman, produced by Revelations Entertainment and TF1 International.

The Worlds of Comedy Central
In March 2000, Comedy Central expanded the World of South Park site to include additional programs. The site was redesigned to accomodate the browser-based "Viewer" version of the Palace software, and over the next 9 months more than a dozen rooms were added to the site. The new rooms represented two new series airing on Comedy Central (now cancelled): The Upright Citizens Brigade and Strip Mall starring Julie Brown. [continued] |
The World of South Park
The World of South Park (aka "The South Park Palace") came online in 1997 as part of the Comedy Central website, launching simultaneously with the television debut of the soon-to-be hit series. Beginning with a mere 30 sets and a fanbase of zero, the site grew over the next three years to include over 200 graphical locations from America's favorite Colorado mountain town. [continued] |

The I Mother Earth Palace
In 1999 AIP worked with Canadian rockers I Mother Earth to create their unique interactive environment for online events and fan chats. To help introduce the band to American audiences, AIP and CHART Magazine produced an online chat and trivia game at The Palace Arena, featuring prize giveaways from PUMA and a live interview with the band.

Macy Gray's 'We Ours Club'
Designed as an online hangout for fans of Sony recording artist Macy Gray, the We Ours club was a 24-hour online groove spot where you could chill with your best friends, meet new ones, or just hang out in the corner, people-watching (avatar-watching) all night long. Featuring samples from Macy Gray's smash hit debut album 'On How Life Is', with Art Direction by Fullerene and 'Freaky' Avatars by Phillip Gibson. |
KoRn KoRner
In mid-1997, As If Productions built KoRn KoRner for the then-unknown Sony recording artists KoRn. Working closely with the band’s singer/lyricist Jonathan Davis, the AIP team created a dark and forboding world that became one of the most popular graphical environments on the internet, and co-hosted a series of infamous internet broadcasts known as KoRn’s After School Specials (www.korntv.com).
