Disney/Dimensions -- Thriller Theater -- Dracula 3
This is one of 30 movies represented in a web driven theater multiplex which aggregates the Dimensions Home Video DVD thriller product line. This Flash 5 and streaming video solution :
- Flash 5 and Video
A
solution integrating 3 Flash-5 embeds wrapping a streaming video of choice (WMP, Real, QT)
- Seamless Optimized User Experience
Automatically detects users platform, browser/version, and bandwidth, plug-ins and seamlessly chooses the best stream for the most optimum user experience for that individual user.
- No Re-encode Required
Client leverages existing video assets. Flash-MX solution requires re-encoding.
- Aggregate and Cross-sell
This is part of a Thriller Theater multiplex which includes 8 different movie franchises and 30 different DVD titles. Contact me for a demonstration of the functioning theater multiplex. A great solution for aggregating and cross-selling genre product.
- Reusable Code and Dynamic Content
All titles use the same common framework shell and external .xml defines the specific content for individual movie titles.
ScreenMedia -- The Anarchist Cookbook
Similar to above in terms of detection and personalized optimization, except it uses Flash-MX video capabilities. The target audience for this show is retailers and distributors, but is architected to easily be retooled to target consumers.
Ultimate-X -- Touchstone/ESPN
Similar to Dracula 3 (Flash-5 and streaming video) but not as robust.
This out performed all other products on the Buena Vista video.com site for click throughs to the buy page. A whopping 26% of the people visiting clicked the BUY button. AMAZING!!!!!!
CISCO EXECNET
Blend Mediaworks technology was utilized to create totally unique, cutting edge, video experiences designed to bring John Chambers and other Cisco Executives into a one-on-one presentation to their customers and peers.
SOLOPOINT.COM (prototype)
Prototype of a portal for a 600x800 touch-screen Internet appliance/phone device. Although this is a limited function prototype, most of the modules are database ready, using generator templates and dynamic text loading for content delivery. The architecture allowed for the ability to change the skin and choose front door content. Because it's a touch screen the buttons are big and easy to click. This is what you might get if you could get My Yahoo! on an ATM.
DISNEY
TOY STORY
A frame based, web adventure game which unfolds over the course of 5
weeks and promotes several CD-ROM products, of which 4500 where given away over the 5 week period. There are only 2 chapters
available in this demo, but will give a good idea of the total scope of the project. My involvement spanned every phase, from design to management,
production and QA. The stories where conceived by the Disney group and the games where designed by myself along with the Disney group to help tell the story.
This is a simple HTML and frames solution designed to work without any plug-ins, CGI, Java or other programing logic. A shockwave version was later introduced to add streaming sound.
SILICONVALLEY.COM
(this site has changed from the original 1.0 design)
The San Jose Mercury News technology site. I was hired specifically to lead and produce all aspects
of the design, build, management and maintenance. Mark returned as a contractor in 2001 to assist in
the process of assisting with the redesign of this site to accommodate the growing content, larger screen size, and acceptance of newer technologies.
LVLi
HOME PAGE (home screen only)
A fun little home page of the company I was cofounder of.
E*TRADE
TOUR
An html tour designed to assist users with new accounts as well as raise awareness
of the e*Station customer service site.
OptionsLink
CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER
A site designed to aid OptionsLink subscribers in managing their personal
accounts. Contains a tour modeled after the E*TRADE tour.
