Innovative Uses of Instagram

The Vaccines – Wetsuit Instagram Video

The indie rock band The Vaccines asked their fans to submit their summer music festival photos through Instagram using the hashtag #vaccinesvideo for a chance to be featured in their new video. The result is an entirely crowdsourced video loaded with Instagram photos.

Philadelphia artists Casey Catelli and Mike Smith wanted to do something special with the Instagram photos of Philadelphia they’d captured over the past year. On his blog, Mike says:

It was so awesome to see the many places and faces we’ve encountered over the past year blown up into 8″ squares and especially all together on an 8′ x 4′ panel in the streets. Tons of awesome friends, artists, galleries, logos, music venues, graffiti, skylines, bridges and City Hall photos made it in there.

Instagram in Central Park – Black Eyed Peas

Instagram photos were projected in front of 60,000 people in Central Park last week for the Black Eyed Peas concert hosted by Robin Hood NYC. Using the Instagram API, the organization worked with HD MADE to live stream fan photos from the benefit concert. Instagram was also used to show the Golden Ticket winner, a mom who got a chance to sit on stage with her three young sons for an epic concert.
