I produced a micro website for the finnish version of the Broadway musical Spring Awakening. In addition to information about the musical itself, the site contains a grungy typographic motion graphics Flash intro produced in Final Cut Pro and a web form to invite your friends to watch yourself on the unique stage seats on a specific date. The stage seats are likely to be sold out rather quickly. I advise to hurry if you are a student and you are interested in this sort of thing.

Spring Awakening is a Tony Award-winning rock musical with music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater. The musical is based on the controversial 1891 German play of the same title by Frank Wedekind. Set in late-nineteenth century Germany, it concerns teenagers who are discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. The original play was banned in Germany due to its portrayal of masturbation, abortion, rape and suicide. In the musical, alt-rock is employed as part of the folk-infused rock score. During the musical, characters sometimes break the fourth wall to express their motivations and desires directly to the audience.

Edit: I ended up repurposing the flash intro as a full HD pre-movie commercial for theatrical release. It was heavily modified and sweetened with a 5.1. surround sound track.
