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.

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.

It’s been a very very very busy start to 2010, but who am I to complain? I’ve been working on a number of high profile projects and they’re all very close to launching. However, the first to launch is a project I built for the Google/YouTube Italy’s marketing department: That’s Opera Talent Contest.

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.
So, I’ve got a new brief that requires me to make use of hexagons in Flash. Not a problem I said and went about making a base Polygon class, and without further ado, here it is.

So, last time I spoke about monetizing a video player, I was tasked with integrating Tremor Media components. That failed spectacularly because the dev team there, well, aren’t helpful.
So, I then told the sales guys I was working with: “Tremor Media isn’t going to work, what’s the plan?”. The pointed me to LiveRail. And this was awesome…

So, give a hand to the developers at YouTube for their hard work! They’ve taken the AS3 YouTube Player out of beta, albeit just chromeless, and all ready for production.
Let’s hope that the chromed version is coming very soon, but now let’s concentrate on getting used to this new player.

Yes indeedy, YAML is fun. A project that I’ve been working on required that I set up a simple fault and tracking hook in the Flash application that then notified a bug tracking service, in this case it’s Hoptoad.
Apart from being a dyslexic’s nightmare to pronounce, it’s actually a really nice and simple service that keeps track of any faults that may appear in your code from time to time.

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.
Ok so after some feedback on the last release of the wrapper, I’ve updated it and pushed it to Github.
There’s no need to compile the SWF yourself, I’ve done the hard work for you. Aren’t I nice?
