It was a promotion for the studio I worked for at the time – everyone picked a song and we created a digital mixtape, our love letter to the world. Actual cassettes were produced and sent to existing clients. In addition to developing the idea with the team, I wrote and lent my voice to the DJ of this experience, a 12 year-old boy whose voice had yet to break. It didn't require as many audio effects as you might imagine to make my voice sound like that. Earned a 2006 SXSW Digital Award for best comedy site. mixtape.exopolis.com <img src="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/97970/2367838/Screen shot 2011-11-26 at 6.36.54 PM.png" width="576" height="390" width_o="576" height_o="390" src_o="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/97970/2367838/Screen shot 2011-11-26 at 6.36.54 PM_o.png" data-mid="11904262" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/97970/2367838/Screen shot 2011-11-26 at 6.36.10 PM.png" width="432" height="339" width_o="432" height_o="339" src_o="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/3/97970/2367838/Screen shot 2011-11-26 at 6.36.10 PM_o.png" data-mid="11904235" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.shortcharlie.com/Hyundai-Snap-Out-Of-It-Digital http://www.shortcharlie.com/following/shortcharlie.com/Hyundai-Snap-Out-Of-It-Digital Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:52:08 +0000 Charlie Short 1971140 With Exopolis, wrote copy for multiple micro-sites supporting Hyundai's "Snap Out Of It" campaign for the 2011 Elantra.
