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.

When I showed the YouTube team in the states my 3D Carousel Demo and Perspective Carousel Demo they gave it lots of praise and lots of new ideas. For example, they suggested that tracking would be a necessity.
So I’m still developing on the ideas they gave me, but yesterday, out of the blue, I got an instant message on my G1 from one of the tech producers in NYC saying that they’ve been showing it to clients and the American Army National Guard are looking to take on my carousel and use it for their YouTube Brand Channel.

I wrote a post about a new gadget I created for YouTube Brand Channels. This gadget went down really well with the guys at YouTube and has been pushed to a channel for my friend Laurnce Mills.
However my colleague at work at work mentioned that it may look quite cool if instead of having the thumbnails in a “coverflow” style, have them coming from the back and going towards the user. So I created another gadget and published it here.

I was asked by my friend, Laurence Mills, to help him set up a simple micro site where he could upload shorts and showreels. I convinced him to have a YouTube Brand Channel rather than creating a web site and it getting lost in the ocean of the internet.
Looking at his work and knowing what he likes, I created a nice and simple grunge and worn style background. I then got him to put his set up his playlists so I could implement the 3D Carousel Gadget I created for YouTube.
