An interactive animation where your face becomes the character in the film. Using a live webcam stream they put your face on a monkey (in the online version) and you click to continue the animation.
It was created by Australlian artists Isobel Knowles and Van Sowerwine.

"We wanted to use utopic imagery, and paradise is often portrayed as beautiful untouched nature where the balance of life is in harmony. There was something about imagining yourself into children's stories that played a part in the concept as well. This is the motivation behind using an image of the viewer's face as part of the animation. This we hope gives you a strange out-of-body experience and make you feel like you're in a dream."

I had a quick go at this on their website and it is great fun. It's a simple idea (though not simple to make) and interactive and alive. I really like it. 
If I could find a way to keep this simplicity and hold my concept behind it that would be great. perhaps put the viewer inside a character in a social networking situation?
