We’re currently working on a project for RIZ MC, a London based rapper / actor whose new album MICroscope melds together the conscious and subconscious, the government and the resistance, the music and the mind. It all takes place in a dark shadowy underground government agency – whose sole purpose is to investigate and document human neurological responses to different musical sequences. HEAVY DUTY AWESOMENESS.
Produced and Written by Swarm. Directed, Designed and Animated by Rival Schools.

Three years ago we began on a notion that we could start a new kind of digital agency, one that felt right for us. An agency fueled by strong creative and backed by a team of unique and talented individuals capable of capitalizing on existing and emerging technologies to deliver award-winning digital experiences. Despite the worst recession of our lifetime, we are extremely proud of what we managed to accomplish. We designed a successful platform, created several entertaining and noteworthy games, help some major brands sell more of their major products and had fun along the way.
So to everyone who has taken a chance and put their faith in Rival Schools, we thank you. Cheers.
Its clear that the publishing world is breathing a slight sigh of relief with the launch of the iPad and digital readers. In hopes of kickstarting a new more interactive magazine experience. A limited number of magazines became available over the Easter weekend release of the iPad. Perhaps the most prominent of these publication is TIME Magazine’s new magazine app. Its the print edition of TIME plus more. More international content, more photos, video coverage and live update from TIME.com. But with these added features does it justify the per issue price of $4.99? From the early overall user response its been pretty negative and we agree.
The cost of materials, shipping and distribution is zero. But does the PLUS MORE features justify the x15 times the price of the current paper issue. Currently you can get 56 paper issues for the bargain price of $20.
We strongly feel that digital publications will change the way we read magazines and other newsstand publications forever. The biggest barrier seems to be what is the appropriate price point for this new interactive digital?
