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.

Say Hello To The Avatar Interactive Trailer
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Monetising Your Video Player With Tremor Media/Acudeo Ad Manager
Monday, September 7th, 2009While doing my stint at ESP, helping out on 1Click2Fame.com, I was asked to integrate advertising into the custom player I had built for them. A long debate followed about what sort to use and, personally, I prefer in-video advertising, but they chose to go with pre/mid/end rolls. Not a problem I said.
The component that I was going to use was developed by Tremor Media/Acudeo. All I was given was a SWC and an example FLA, pretty perfect I thought.
It turned out that there was a problem: the preroll component can’t be compiled on a Mac, or so I was told. Now can’t isn’t something that runs easily with me. I’ll try anything, and would rather fail than not to try at all. And the result of all this was very encouraging.

Introducing 1Click2Fame.com
Tuesday, August 4th, 2009Here it is, this is what I’ve been working on for the past two months! It’s the new web site for 1Click2Fame.com where, and I quote, “finding fame is the name of the game”.
It’s owned by the company Enrich Productions and I was bought in to build them a Flash video player and also little bits of Flashy stuff here and there including the home page carousel and the competition count-down timer. More stuff to follow!

Security Sandbox Violation Getting You Down?
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009When working with Flash Player you will come across this error one time or another:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain ‘http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/cps-vfl104716.swf’ tried to access incompatible context ‘http://www.youtube.com/v/fXldKmGuPqM &autoplay=0&loop=0&rel=0&showsearch=0&hd=1′
And it may not necessarily be for YouTube (as the above error is).

Creating a Video Player in Actionscript 3
Monday, June 22nd, 2009So I’ve been working on creating a fully fledged player for the web site 1Click2Fame.com. A lot of people who have been following me on twitter have been asking me to publish my code, so here’s what you’ve all been waiting for.
This isn’t just your average FLV video player. I’m not going to go into great depths on creating stuff like the stop button, the seek bar and what not, I believe in creating clean and reusable code, so this tutorial is more about creating a great chromeless player API and then allowing you to go crazy with the UI.

Actionscript 3 Cue Points
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Today I was working on finalising the video player for the competition web site 1Click2Fame.com. Since this video player will be multi purpose, for example, it will be used as a “chromeless” style player but may also have a “chrome” where the user can interact by voting for acts and so on, it needs the ability to record metrics such as user interaction and more importantly cue points.
The team at 1Click2Fame.com are not only interested in seeing what video a user watched, but how long they watched it for, especially if they voted for or against it winning. So cue cue points!

YouTube Contest API Tutorial – Coming Soon!
Friday, June 12th, 2009I’ve been looking at the stats for my blog and it seems a lot of people are searching for content about the YouTube Contest API. Now I know that there aren’t any external facing docs or tutorials, so I will write one up very soon on how to use it! I promise!
It’s Been a Good Long Week
Thursday, June 11th, 2009And it’s not quite over, yet! This week I started a new contract at ESP (also known as Enrich Productions) working primarily on their main project called 1Click2Fame.com. It’s a really beautiful concept and one that I hope to help as much as I can in. If you’re not quite sure what the site’s about, here’s a quick blurb:
“The online talent contest where the UK’s best battle it out to win prizes and fame.You watch, you vote, you decide who wins our weekly prizes to take talent to the next stage.”
Yep, that was copy and pasted from the front page! (more…)
