I can’t believe I forgot to mention this. Unless you haven’t had a look at my portfolio, you may not have noticed that about two weeks ago I launched the Tango’d Films YouTube Brand Channel: http://youtube.com/tango.
It’s a pretty fun channel, the concept is that you take a Lomax d’n'b track and do some bad-ass dancing and submit it into the contest running on the channel.

What an awesome year so far!! I’ve launched four, yep that’s right 4, YouTube Brand Channels this year! I’ve still got a few up my sleeve yet but let’s see if I can make it twelve (yep, 12) this year. Here they are:
Enjoy!
Ah, what a crazy couple of weeks. If you haven’t read about this on my portfolio, here’s a snippet about this campaign:
“This was a very last minute project that I had the chance to work on. On my meeting to another project, I received a call from the creative agency asking for my help to get this YouTube and GCN centric campaign off the ground and turned around within 4 working days. It started off with a multi-stage YouTube brand channel that coincided with the launch of the teasers and adverts for the new 3D LED TV. I then also had to work on MPUs and a masthead for the YouTube homepage. Overall it was a pretty awesome project, one that had to be done quite fast (within 16 working days) and one that’s come off pretty well.”

Yes, it’s finally up! The D&AD Inspiration YouTube Channel has been probably one of my biggest projects so far. It’s a huge channel that allows creatives to upload commercial creatives to the area and have them viewed for free by the wider community. The process isn’t judged by D&AD, it’s a free for all really, well, apart from the moderation stage; this makes sure only the best stuff is uploaded.

A while back I took part in a project with The PPC to build a ‘different’ microsite for the (then) new film Avatar. I don’t know what happened to this project, I spent a good while optimising and refactoring to get it running really smoothly but then I got paid and I didn’t hear anything else. It seems that it may not have gone out in time, which is a really shame cos it’s awesome! Anyway, have a look, tell me what you think.
Woohooo!!! Finally, I’ve worked on a project that’s won an FWA award! The Best Of Us Challenge is centred around the YouTube Contest API and involves you, the general public, challenging athletes at a range of different things.
There’s quite a few different challenges and they’re always being updated! The concept is really cool, you watch a video, record your own challenge and upload it. You can also call for a challenge too!
Check it out at http://thebestofuschallenge.olympic.org/
After months of fruition, long transatlantic phone calls and late night code fixes, the fruits of our labour is now live for all to see: The Olympics ‘Best Of Us Challenge’. Go on, see if you can beat them!
It’s a great gadget and it’s really been worth it. I remember when I first got the phone call from the agency, Mekanism, who I must say are great and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with them, I thought that this is going to be a huge gadget. Again, it took a lot of determination, conference call, and lots and lots of new code and cleaning up of old code to get to this great gadget.
Now the last push is sticking it up on the brand channel but I’m sure that that’s coming very soon!
Much love to everyone who I worked with at Mekanism and I hope that they’re as proud of it as I am.
So I’ve done a design for the business cards I’m going to get ordered. It’s pretty plain, simple, not boring I hope, but I’d like to get the general consensus before I get them printed, so do tell me what you think.

So after my tutorial on Flashtuts+ (Quick Guide to Creating and Using SWCs), I’ve had a few emails and comments about the usage of SWCs.
So, after responding to them individually, I’ve compiled this post so you guys can see what a SWC can help you with and what it can’t.

So recently I published a post that contained a quick and simple browser detection snippet for jQuery. In that snippet, I accidently left a reference to a function called “initSafariSearch()”.
This function simply replaces the standard boring input text box with the nice Safari style one.
